Microsoft introduced a voluntary exit program for eligible employees at level 70 and below in participating teams in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and India. The company confirmed that about 60,000 employees, roughly 27% of its workforce, are eligible; that is not a settled number of applicants or departures. Participants receive financial support and career-planning resources. Not every organization takes part, with coverage depending on business priorities and workforce needs, and individual terms are communicated to eligible staff.
