Microsoft announced its first-of-its-kind voluntary buyout program. Here are the key details:
​The Scope: Approximately 8,750 employees (7% of its 125,000 U.S. staff) are eligible.
​The Criteria: The program specifically targets long-tenured employees. Eligibility is generally based on the "Rule of 70"—where an employee's age plus their years of service at Microsoft must equal 70 or more.
​The Purpose: While the company is not in financial distress, it is aggressively pivoting. Executives are aiming to "offset" the billions being spent on AI data centers and new technology.

The 70th rule is not for all good. After 70 years, the Microsoft rules do not work here.
