Microsoft plans to offer voluntary departure packages to 60,000 employees, about a quarter of its workforce, to cut costs amid rising living expenses. The company aims to redirect funds towards AI development, with an expected investment of $175 billion by 2026. Eligible employees include those in specific teams across the US, Canada, India, and the UK, while some groups are excluded. This initiative reflects a shift towards greater flexibility for employees in shaping their career paths. Microsoft had 223,000 employees globally at the end of June, down from 228,000 in late 2025.
