Microsoft to offer first-ever employee buyouts, 7% of US staff eligible: Report
Microsoft has launched a large-scale voluntary retirement programme in the United States. The company is offering buyouts to thousands of employees as part of a broader workforce adjustment strategy, Bloomberg reported.
Around 7% of the company’s US workforce will be eligible for the scheme, the report stated. With about 125,000 employees in the US as of June 2025, this could translate to roughly 8,750 workers qualifying for the offer.
