Microsoft is offering voluntary severance packages to approximately 60,000 employees as part of its latest workforce adjustment strategy. Chief People Officer Amy Coleman announced the program in a Monday memo, stating it aims to increase flexibility and give employees more choice in planning their careers while avoiding another round of forced layoffs. The initiative follows Microsoft's significant headcount reductions earlier this year despite heavy investments in AI infrastructure. A company spokesperson confirmed that eligible employees will receive terms similar to Microsoft's standard severance package, marking the tech giant's effort to further reduce costs through voluntary departures rather than mandatory cuts.
