Microsoft offers voluntary buyouts to around 60,000 employees globally

Microsoft is offering voluntary buyouts to approximately 60,000 employees at level 70 and below across Canada, India, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

The time-limited program impacts key divisions such as AI experiences, Copilot, finance, human resources, Xbox, and Windows + Devices, while excluding marketing and security.

The exit offer builds on insights from a previous voluntary retirement program as the company scales its operations and cloud infrastructure.
