Microsoft Opens Voluntary Exit Offer to Eligible Staff in Four Countries

Microsoft has introduced a time-limited voluntary exit offer for eligible employees in participating teams in Canada, India, the United Kingdom and the United States. The program reaches about 60,000 employees, or roughly a quarter of the company’s 223,000-person workforce. Microsoft’s announcement says the offer provides financial support and career-planning resources to employees at level 70 and below. Eligibility varies by team and business priorities; it is not a company-wide offer, and eligible employees are to receive details by email.
