According to CoinMeta, Microsoft announced that it will offer voluntary severance compensation to about 60,000 employees against the backdrop of surging expenditures in AI in order to restructure its workforce and redirect spending towards AI. Key details include: 60,000 employees in the United States, Canada, India, and the United Kingdom are eligible, with a total of 223,000 employees globally (as of June). The data center team is not included in this compensation program, and eligible employees will receive benefits similar to severance pay. The key point is that Microsoft is tightening labor costs while protecting critical AI infrastructure investments, highlighting how AI expenditures are reshaping the employment structure of large tech companies.
