Confirmed facts
Each fact is a sentence from a source that at least two independent outlets report.
Amy Coleman, Microsoft’s executive vice president and chief people officer, stated that this offer provides employees with flexibility for their future.
The offer covers staff in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada and India, according to reports cited by Yahoo Finance and The Verge.
The Verge reported that Microsoft had laid off 4,800 employees in the months before the new offer, primarily affecting Xbox and commercial sales teams.
Coleman wrote that the offer gives eligible employees “a new choice to make that transition now with support,” according to The Guardian.
