Multiple X accounts report Microsoft is offering voluntary buyouts to about 60,000 employees as it cuts costs and shifts spending toward AI, citing Bloomberg as the source. DeItaone says the offer covers select teams in the US, Canada, India and the UK, with data center teams excluded and severance-style benefits for those eligible.

The Kobeissi Letter adds eligibility is vice president level and below, equal to about 27% of Microsoft's workforce, against 223,000 employees globally as of June cited by DeItaone. Kalshi and WatcherGuru carried the same headline on Oct. 26, 2026.

No SEC filing confirming terms was found in the latest filings check, and the news wire and Telegram searches returned no independent confirmation yet. Treat the 60,000 figure as reported, not as a confirmed acceptance count or layoff total.
