Microsoft asked 60,000 of its employees to voluntarily resign due to the introduction of artificial intelligence. Employees of all the main divisions of the company received such an amazing offer: - developers of Windows and Microsoft devices;.
- Finance and Human Resources Department;
- Direction of Xbox games;.
- Managers, general managers and even some vice presidents;.
- Teams developing AI (how ironic). The plan affects 27% of the company's total workforce, which amounts to approximately 223,000 people. They are offered to resign voluntarily in exchange for financial compensation and assistance in finding a new job.
