Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote, citing Bloomberg from October 26, 2026, that Microsoft is offering voluntary severance packages to around 60,000 of its 223,000 employees worldwide. This corresponds to almost 27 percent of the workforce. Affected are selected business areas in the USA, Canada, India, and the United Kingdom, as well as executives up to certain management levels. Parts of sales, marketing, and data centers are exempt. According to Boeminghaus, Microsoft is investing heavily in artificial intelligence and the necessary infrastructure while also adjusting its cost structure. In July, more than 30 percent of around 8,750 employees who were eligible for a separate early retirement offer had already accepted it. He emphasized that the current offers are voluntary and do not mean that 60,000 layoffs have been decided; Microsoft expects a significantly lower acceptance rate this time. Boeminghaus presented the step as a sign that the AI revolution is changing the staffing structures of large technology companies and warned of the beginning of larger job losses. https://t.co/pA2OxhKgYU #Microsoft #KünstlicheIntelligenz #Stellenabbau (translated)
