Microsoft is rolling out a voluntary separation program that could affect as many as 60,000 employees in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and India. In an internal memo, chief people officer Amy Coleman said the initiative gives workers “the opportunity to leave Microsoft with financial support and career‑planning resources,” as the company seeks to reduce headcount without conducting another wave of layoffs. Sources familiar with the plan say the offer is available to staff across a wide range of divisions, including AI experiences, Copilot, Core AI, Windows and Devices, Xbox, finance and human‑resources groups, as well as the broader cloud and AI organization. The Verge reported the details.
