Big buyouts announced at Microsoft today. About 8,000 eligible. better than mass layoffs like at Oracle or Meta, but still not a great sign for the job market. https://www.bloomberg.com/...

Microsoft is offering voluntary retirement to long-serving employees. It comes after some senior executives departed this year, and could help avoid broader layoffs. Bonuses and stock awards are also changing. Full details 👇 https://www.theverge.com/...
