Software-Konzern: Microsoft bietet rund 60.000 Mitarbeitern Abfindungen an
Zahlreiche Microsoft-Mitarbeiter bekommen ein Abfindungsangebot. Der Windows-Konzern geht jedoch selbst davon aus, dass nur ein geringer Teil von ihnen es annehmen wird.
Microsoft, the leading software company, has offered voluntary severance packages to approximately 60,000 employees across several regional offices in Canada, India, the United Kingdom, and the United States, according to a recent announcement. The company employs a total of 223,000 people, so the offer theoretically covers at least a quarter of its workforce.
However, Microsoft anticipates a much lower acceptance rate compared to a previous voluntary redundancy scheme, which had a 30% acceptance rate, based on information from Bloomberg's financial service and the website Geekwire. In recent months, Microsoft had laid off about 4,800 jobs. The tech giant is increasing its expenditures on AI infrastructure, similar to Google and Meta Platforms (formerly Facebook).
