Microsoft offers voluntary buyouts to 60,000 employees
Original: Microsoft offers to buy out a quarter of its workforce
Microsoft has offered voluntary buyouts to roughly 60,000 employees, about a quarter of its workforce, according to Ars Technica. The move would let staff leave the company with a severance package rather than face potential future layoffs. The offer is drawing wide attention as a signal of how aggressively major tech companies are trimming headcount, even highly profitable ones, amid an industry-wide push toward leaner operations.
Why now: A buyout offer covering a quarter of one of the world's largest companies is an unusual and dramatic sign of tech industry cost-cutting and restructuring.
