Microsoft offers about 60,000 employees to voluntarily resign for financial compensation. The company is ready to replace the pensioners with artificial intelligence. Microsoft offered voluntary renewals to about 60,000 employees, more than a quarter of the company's workforce. According to Business Insider, the offer extends to employees in the US, Canada, India and the UK. Employees must decide before the beginning of December if they will leave the company at the end of the year. The initiative is a new attempt by Microsoft to cut costs without another wave of forced layoffs. Amid massive investments in AI infrastructure, the company expects to reduce staff due to voluntary departures - previously a similar voluntary retirement program was used by a third of the 9,000 employees who offered it.
