Microsoft is offering a termination package to 60,000 employees as it aims to cut costs and adapt its workforce for the adoption of artificial intelligence. The company is providing this option to employees who are considering a future outside the organization, as a way to support their transition, according to news agency. The offer does not apply to those working in data centers, sales, and marketing.
As of June, Microsoft employed around 223,000 people. In July, more than 8,000 employees over the retirement age agreed to the termination package. Employees eligible for the offer will receive an email with a link to the details of their voluntary termination agreement in the coming hours, Microsoft reported on its website. Several Norwegian companies have recently announced larger workforce reductions.
The largest bank in Norway, DNB, plans to cut around 400 jobs due to its focus on AI. Telia is laying off 150 employees, while Danske Bank announced it will let go of about 100 positions.
