Microsoft is reportedly preparing to eliminate roughly 60,000 employees across its global divisions, representing an unprecedented 27 percent reduction of its total workforce as leadership pivots heavily toward artificial intelligence.
Internal reports indicate the company has started presenting staff with voluntary separation agreements, offering severance payouts, transition assistance, and educational retraining courses before compulsory terminations take effect.
The massive workforce reduction is expected to impact nearly every major branch of the tech giant, sweeping through core Windows development teams and hitting Xbox gaming divisions already battered by previous corporate restructuring rounds.
