Microsoft Announces Voluntary Buyout Program for Up to 60,000 Employees
Microsoft has launched a voluntary buyout program targeting up to 60,000 employees across the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and India. According to Chief People Officer Amy Coleman, the initiative aims to reduce headcount through financial incentives and career planning resources rather than involuntary layoffs. The offer impacts several key divisions, including AI experiences, Copilot, CoreAI, Windows + Devices, Xbox, finance, and human resources. While some cloud and legal teams are partially participating, departments such as marketing, security, and commercial business remain excluded from this specific program.
