微软向约6万名员工推出自愿离职计划：覆盖美国、加拿大、英国、印度四国，副总裁级以下可申请
微软（Microsoft）10月26日向约6万名员工推出自愿离职计划（Voluntary Exit Offer）：该公司执行副总裁兼首席人事官 Amy Coleman 当天在发给员工的备忘录中宣布，参与团队中位于美国、加拿大、英国与印度的合资格员工、70级及以下（副总裁级及以下）均可申请，公司称这是一个限时、自愿的计划，接受者可获得财务支持与职业规划资源。微软发言人向 Business Insider 证实，合资格人数约为6万人；微软自家博客公布的备忘录文本本身未给出人数。
Coleman 在备忘录中写道：「这项自愿离职计划是我们调整变革方式的重要一环：创造更大的灵活性，并在可能的情况下，让员工有更多方式规划自己的下一章。」她表示，计划给那些可能正在考虑离开公司另谋发展的合资格员工一个现在就带着支持完成过渡的新选择，同时也让参与的业务部门多一种按需求调整人员的方式；合资格员工将在数小时内收到载有各自计划细节的邮件。据路透社援引熟悉情况人士的说法，受计划覆盖的部门包括 AI 体验、Copilot、财务、人力资源、Xbox 与 Windows + Devices 等团队，营销、商业业务与安全等部门不在此轮范围内；Coleman 在备忘录中也说明，只有部分机构提供这项计划、并非所有团队参与。接受计划员工的待遇与标准遣散方案相近，微软未公开说明预期有多少人会接受。
这是微软今年内第二次推出自愿离职类计划。今年早些时候，微软曾向约8,750名达到退休条件的员工推出自愿退休计划，最终有超过30%的合资格者接受。今年7月，微软还宣布裁减4,800个岗位、约占其全球员工的2.1%。据微软公司资料页，截至2026年9月30日，该公司全球员工总数为223,000人，其中美国121,000人；以此计算，本轮约6万名合资格员工约占其全球员工总数的四分之一。微软近年来持续把大量资金投向人工智能基础设施与数据中心建设，同时多次调整人员结构。

Microsoft Offers Voluntary Exit to About 60,000 Employees in Four Countries, at Vice President Level and Below
Microsoft on October 26 introduced a Voluntary Exit Offer covering about 60,000 employees: in a memo to staff, Executive Vice President and Chief People Officer Amy Coleman said eligible employees on participating teams in the United States, Canada, India and the United Kingdom, at level 70 and below (vice president level and below), may apply for what the company called a time-limited, voluntary program offering financial support and career planning resources. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed to Business Insider that about 60,000 employees are eligible; the memo text published on Microsoft's own blog does not itself give a headcount.
"The Voluntary Exit Offer reflects an important part of how we're evolving our approach to change: creating greater flexibility and, where possible, more ways for employees to shape their next chapter," Coleman wrote. She said the offer gives eligible employees who may be considering a future outside the company a new choice to make that transition now with support, while giving participating organizations another way to adjust their workforces as needs change, and that eligible employees would receive an email with their offer details within hours. According to a person familiar with the matter cited by Reuters, divisions covered include AI experiences, Copilot, finance, human resources, Xbox and Windows + Devices, while units such as marketing, commercial business and security are excluded; Coleman also noted that only some organizations are providing the offer. Benefits for those who accept are similar to a standard severance package, and Microsoft has not said how many acceptances it expects.
This is Microsoft's second voluntary program this year. Earlier in 2026 the company offered a voluntary retirement program to about 8,750 eligible employees, and more than 30% accepted. In July, Microsoft also eliminated 4,800 roles, about 2.1% of its global workforce. Microsoft's company facts page lists its worldwide headcount at 223,000 as of September 30, 2026, with 121,000 employees in the United States, so the roughly 60,000 eligible employees amount to about a quarter of its workforce. The program comes as Microsoft spends heavily on artificial intelligence infrastructure and data centers while repeatedly reshaping its staffing.
