Microsoft is reportedly offering a one-time voluntary retirement program — the first in the company's 50+ year history — to US employees at senior level or below whose combined age and years of service total at least 70. The program could affect up to 7% of the US workforce, with full details to be shared on May 7, 2026. Microsoft is also revising its stock reward structure to delink stock from cash bonuses. This follows last year's layoffs of over 15,000 employees, which included significant cuts in the gaming division such as closing The Initiative and canceling multiple projects.
