Microsoft offers voluntary exit packages to 60,000 staff
Microsoft has offered voluntary buyout packages to roughly 60,000 employees, about a quarter of its global workforce, as part of a new cost-cutting drive.

The buyouts follow a period of slowing growth and increased spending on artificial intelligence.
