Microsoft is significantly shifting its internal knowledge strategy, canceling employee access to traditional resources like newspapers, business publications, and the company library, replacing them with an AI-powered learning platform called Skilling Hub.

  • This move aligns with CEO Satya Nadella's focus on AI integration and follows the 15,000 layoffs announced in 2025.
  • The transition includes the closure of the physical company library located on the Redmond campus.
  • MSFT closed at $459.86, gaining 0.70% on 2026-01-16.
