Microsoft is offering voluntary buyouts to approximately 60,000 employees, representing about 27% of its global workforce. This move is intended to help manage significant capital expenditures related to artificial intelligence infrastructure. The offer is available to eligible employees in the U.S., Canada, India, and the U.K. This initiative follows previous voluntary programs and job cuts implemented by the company. The decision to accept the buyout is up to the individual employees, with a deadline in early December.
