Microsoft's First Voluntary Retirement Program in 51 Years: 8,750 Eligible Under the 'Rule of 70', 8–39 Weeks of Cash, 5 Years of Insurance, and a $190B AI Capex Bill the Headcount Is Helping to Pay AI & Jobs

Microsoft's First Voluntary Retirement Program in 51 Years: 8,750 Eligible Under the 'Rule of 70', 8–39 Weeks of Cash, 5 Years of Insurance, and a $190B AI Capex Bill the Headcount Is Helping to Pay

On May 7 Microsoft sent eligible employees the full terms of its first-ever Voluntary Retirement Program: 8,750 people on the Rule of 70 list (age + years of service ≥ 70), 8–39 weeks of cash, up to 5 years of healthcare, last day July 1. The same memo arrives the same week the company is on track for $190B of AI capex this fiscal year — making the VRP the politest way Microsoft has ever asked its long-tenured staff to fund the GPU bill.

Big Tech's AI Capex Just Re-Sized Up to $725B for 2026 While the Layoff Tracker Hit 95,878 and 275,000 AI Job Postings Sat Open — The Skills Chasm Is Now the Headline AI & Jobs

Big Tech's AI Capex Just Re-Sized Up to $725B for 2026 While the Layoff Tracker Hit 95,878 and 275,000 AI Job Postings Sat Open — The Skills Chasm Is Now the Headline

The Mag-4 finished Q1 earnings and the 2026 AI-capex number revised up from a $650B Q1 guide to $725B — a 77% jump on 2025. In the same window, layoff trackers crossed 95,878 workers across 249 events at 864 a day, while ~275,000 AI-skill job postings sat unfilled. Big Tech is funding the build-out by cutting the workers it does not need, and the workers it does need are not the same people.

The Mag-4 Posted a $430B AI-Powered Quarter, Then Cut 23,000 Workers in the Same Week — and Said the Word 'Efficiency' 15 Times to Describe Why AI & Jobs

The Mag-4 Posted a $430B AI-Powered Quarter, Then Cut 23,000 Workers in the Same Week — and Said the Word 'Efficiency' 15 Times to Describe Why

Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, and Meta posted ~$430B of combined Q1 revenue and revised 2026 capex up to roughly $650B. In the same five trading days, Meta announced 8,000 layoffs plus 6,000 cancelled reqs, Microsoft put its first-ever buyout offer in front of 8,750 US workers, and the words 「efficiency」 and 「discipline」 appeared 15 times across the four earnings calls. Sam Altman calls this 「AI washing」. The Washington Post agrees.
