Microsoft提供四分之一的劳动力自愿离职，同时掩护AI关键团队
Microsoft公司向大约60,000名雇员提供自愿离职一揽子计划，约占其劳动力的四分之一。 首席人民官艾米·科尔曼(英语：Amy Coleman)在一份备忘录中写道，这些包裹是"调整员工队伍以适应不断变化的需要的另一种方式". 发言人称 Microsoft想要员工致力于解决其最棘手的问题。
该方案涵盖美国，加拿大，印度，英国副总统级或以下的雇员。 Xbox,Windows,Copilot，和Finance被完全包含在内，而数据中心，销售，网络安全，和量子计算则被排除在外，这些领域对Microsoft的AI策略最为重要。
这是该公司2026年的第二个此类计划。 Microsoft5月向8,750名美国雇员提供买断，7月削减4,800个工作岗位。 尽管收入增长强劲，但其劳动力仍然约223,000人，与2022年大致相同。 随着人口统计保持平稳，CFO Amy Hood 称 Microsoft计划在2026年花费约1700亿美元用于AI基础设施，比其最初的1750亿美元计划略低。

Microsoft offers a quarter of its workforce voluntary severance while shielding AI-critical teams
Microsoft is offering voluntary severance packages to about 60,000 employees, roughly a quarter of its workforce. Chief People Officer Amy Coleman wrote in a memo that the packages are "another way to adapt their workforce to changing needs." A spokesperson said Microsoft wants employees committed to tackling its toughest problems.
The program covers employees in the U.S., Canada, India, and the UK at vice president level or below. Xbox, Windows, Copilot, and Finance are fully included, while data centers, sales, cybersecurity, and quantum computing are excluded, areas that are mostly important to Microsoft's AI strategy.
It’s the company’s second such program in 2026. Microsoft offered buyouts to 8,750 U.S. employees in May and cut 4,800 jobs in July. Its workforce remains about 223,000, roughly the same as in 2022, despite strong revenue growth. As headcount stays flat, CFO Amy Hood says Microsoft plans to spend about $170 billion on AI infrastructure in 2026, down slightly from its original $175 billion plan.
