Summary
Microsoft plans to offer voluntary buyouts to eligible employees at vice-president level and below in the United States, Canada, India and the United Kingdom, as it restructures amid heavy AI spending. About 60,000 employees could qualify, including staff in Xbox, Windows, Copilot and finance, while some data-centre, sales, marketing, cybersecurity and quantum-computing workers will be excluded. The company said departing employees would receive benefits similar to standard severance.
