@itvnews: Microsoft has offered about 27% of its global workforce voluntary buyouts as the software giant spends heavily on artificial intelligence. Chief People Officer Amy Coleman said in a blog post on Monday that the company's voluntary exit offer to 60,000 employees was available to staff in Canada, India, the United Kingdom and the United States. It follows 4,800 job losses announced in the summer, partly due to a shift towards AI tools #itvnews

This will encourage people to short the stock, creating higher volatility prior to earning announcements this week. Bet against the market
