Sounds like the headline was written by Microsoft... "Less than..."

I'm sure copilot will be fine.

... impacting more than thousands of workforce.

I hope these former employees, and the people in their lives, all do their absolute best to refuse to support Microslop every chance they get. Death by a thousand cuts adds up over time.

Yeah let's do MORE LAYOFFS. That'll stop bugs that brick file explorer from happening.

Microsoft plans thousands of job cuts, impacting thousands

Microsoft earlier this year announced a voluntary retirement program offering buyouts to employees level 67 and below in the US who had 70 or more years of age and service. About 7% of Microsoft's 125,000 US workforce, or nearly 9,000 employees, was eligible.

Weirdly written. Does that mean 7% of their employees were 70 years or older? Or that age + work years greater than 70 means eligible, like I'm 50 and worked t MS for 20 years, 50+20=70 so meet eligibility. Must be that one. "Level 67 and below" is also useless formation to someone who doesn't know MS levels.
