On October 26, Microsoft announced a voluntary departure program for about 60,000 eligible employees—nearly 27% of its 223,000-person workforce—in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and India. This does not mean that this many employees will be laid off, since participation is voluntary. The move comes as the company expands its investments in AI and infrastructure amid pressure to cut costs, and against the backdrop of a wave of job cuts in the technology sector. In the first seven months of 2026, companies announced plans to cut 149,023 jobs in the sector, a 67% increase year over year. The article notes that AI is changing job tasks and the skills in demand, but does not establish that every job cut is due to AI replacing employees. The World Economic Forum, meanwhile, projects that 170 million jobs will be created and 92 million displaced by 2030.
