Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) has slipped about 1.3% after hours alongside news that it's cutting a number of open job listings in the latest big-tech response to an economic slowdown.
The tech giant is cutting listings in its Azure cloud unit and in security software, according to Bloomberg, though the pulled listings and slower hiring could extend beyond those units.

The hiring freezes will continue into the foreseeable future, however.
Earlier on Tuesday, it was reported that Google was pausing hiring entirely for two weeks, an extension of last week's policy to slow hiring for the rest of the year.
