Microsoft offers voluntary buyouts to a quarter of its workforce

Microsoft is offering voluntary buyout packages to roughly a quarter of its employees, letting workers choose to leave with compensation rather than face potential involuntary layoffs. The move comes amid ongoing cost-cutting across the technology sector as companies redirect spending toward AI infrastructure. It marks one of the broadest voluntary exit programs Microsoft has offered in recent years.

Why now: The scale of the offer, covering about 25% of staff, signals major restructuring at one of the world's largest tech companies and raises questions about the industry's employment outlook.
