Microsoft apne US employees ke liye ek naya voluntary buyout program la rahi hai. Yeh company ka apne employees ko paid exit dene ka pehla voluntary program hai. CNBC ki report ke mutabiq, yeh program senior director level aur niche ke employees ko offer kiya jayega.

Microsoft Voluntary Buyout: Kaun Eligible Hai Aur Kitne Employees Ko Milega?

CNBC ke mutabiq, is buyout program ke liye woh employees eligible hain jinki years of employment aur age ka total 70 ya usse zyada ho. Yeh program US mein June 2025 tak ke around 125,000 employees mein se 7% tak ko cover kar sakta hai. Iska matlab hai ki 8,750 tak employees ko yeh offer mil sakta hai.

Yeh program May mein shuru hoga. Company ka kehna hai ki is program ka maksad eligible employees ko apni marzi se agla kadam uthane ka mauka dena hai. CNBC ki report mein kaha gaya hai ki "Our hope is that this program gives those eligible the choice to take that next step on their own terms, with generous compensation."

Microsoft Ke Pehle Layoffs Se Comparison

Yeh voluntary buyout program company ke pichle layoffs se chhota hai. May aur July 2025 mein Microsoft ne 15,000 employees ko layoff kiya tha. Lekin yeh program bhi significant hai, khaaskar agar majority employees buyout accept kar lein.

Yeh program sirf US employees ke liye hai. Company ne abhi tak global employees ke liye koi aisa program announce nahi kiya hai.

Hamaari Baat: Microsoft Ka Voluntary Buyout Program Kyun Important Hai

Seedha baat karein toh Microsoft ka yeh voluntary buyout program company ke cost-cutting strategies ka hissa lagta hai. Pichle saal 15,000 employees ko layoff karne ke baad, ab company voluntary exit ka option de rahi hai. Yeh employees ke liye ek better option hai kyunki woh apni marzi se exit le sakte hain, forced layoff ke comparison mein.

Lekin yeh bhi sach hai ki 8,750 tak employees ka exit company ke liye ek badi cost saving ho sakti hai. Khaaskar senior level employees jo zyada salary lete hain. Hamari nazar mein, yeh program un employees ke liye accha hai jo waise bhi retirement ya career change ke baare mein soch rahe the. Lekin jo log apni naukri chhodna nahi chahte, unke liye yeh koi pressure nahi hai kyunki yeh voluntary hai.
