With Xbox cuts not done, Microsoft offer voluntary buyouts to around 60,000 workers across the company in latest attempt to get rid of staff That's around a quarter of Microsoft’s total workforce, according to reports Staff at Microsoft continue to recieve emails they'd probably rather not be getting. After telling some the other week of plans to mandate four days in the office starting in February and presiding over multiple rounds of layoffs at their gaming division Xbox, Microsoft are now offering volutary buyouts to 60,000, roughly 25% of their overall headcount. Business Insider report that staff in the US, Canada, India, and the UK, but that not every team within the company is on the eligibility list. There's no indication at current as to whether Xbox will be affected, with exec Matt Booty having noted when announcing September's layoffs that the division was "roughly three-quarters of the way" through efforts to get rid of 3200 staff in total.
