Microsoft offers voluntary exit packages to as many as 60,000 employees
What happened
Microsoft is offering voluntary exit packages to as many as 60,000 employees in the US, UK, Canada and India, aiming to shrink headcount without a new round of layoffs, according to an October 26 report. Teams involved include AI experiences, Copilot and CoreAI, with some participation from cloud + AI and Microsoft AI; commercial sales and other teams are not included. The package offers financial support and career-planning resources, and eligibility does not depend on age, tenure or performance. The report notes this differs from the voluntary retirement program Microsoft offered to about 9,000 employees earlier this year.
