The offer covers employees at level 70 and below in participating teams in the US, Canada, India, and the UK, according to the memo. “Some organizations are providing the Voluntary Exit Offer, and some are not,” Coleman wrote. She added that participation depends on each business’s “priorities, customer commitments and workforce needs.”
However, her memo did not specify how many employees are eligible for this offer. According to a Reuters report, the move will impact about 60,000 employees globally, or about a quarter of the global employee base.
Participating teams include AI experiences, Copilot, Xbox, and Windows + Devices, Reuters reported, citing a person familiar with the matter. Marketing, sales, commercial business, and security teams, along with some data center staff, are excluded, the report added.
