Here is one explanation for what happened!
Well, Microsoft did not call the layoffs what they are. Microsoft described it as "Instead, the company announced a voluntary exit/buyout offer in late October 2026 targeting up to 60,000 employees (about a quarter of its global workforce) across the U.S., Canada, the U.K., and India." (Google)
"... this episode is indicative of a cultural problem at Microsoft, where all the major talent is getting assigned to the hot trend of AI development, and the “boring” job of keeping the email servers running is seen as career stagnation.
The company’s tens of thousands of layoffs in the past few weeks have probably culled many old-guard employees who knew these systems — the backbone of their core products — inside and out."
