Microsoft offers voluntary exits to about 60,000 employees, 27% of its workforce
Microsoft is proposing a new voluntary exit plan to about 60,000 employees in the United States, Canada, India and the United Kingdom, six months after a first similar offer. The measure covers only certain divisions and employees up to the vice-president level, with exceptions in data centers, sales and marketing. Those who accept will receive terms comparable to a standard severance package. The company employed 223,000 people at the end of June and in April had offered a first plan to about 8,750 US employees.
