随着微软向其超过四分之一的员工发出买断提议，商业内幕网（Business Insider）审阅的具体提议揭示了员工若选择离职将获得的确切待遇。这些提议根据每位员工的职级、所在地和工龄进行个性化定制。商业内幕网审阅的提议证实，美国的买断方案与公司的美国标准遣散费方案一致。一位微软发言人表示，约有6万名员工符合买断资格。
As Microsoft sends out its buyout offers to more than a quarter of its workforce, specific offers reviewed by Business Insider reveal exactly what employees get if they choose to leave the company. The offers are individualized for each employee based on their level, location, and tenure. Those reviewed by Business Insider confirm that the US buyouts align with the company's US standard severance offers. A Microsoft spokesperson said about 60,000 employees would be eligible for the buyout.
微软采用职级体系表示资历，从起始职级59的初级岗位到职级70的高级岗位，或副总裁级别。公司向美国、加拿大、印度和英国部分团队中职级70的员工提供了买断方案。商业内幕网审阅的提议显示，内部职级64及以下的员工每六个月工龄可获一周基本工资，职级65至67的员工每六个月工龄可获两周基本工资。买断提议还包括继续正常的股票归属和健康保险。
Microsoft uses a levels system to represent seniority, from entry levels starting at 59 to senior levels at 70, or vice president. The company offered buyouts to employees on select teams in the US, Canada, India, and the UK at level 70. Offers reviewed by Business Insider show employees at internal levels 64 and below were offered one week of base pay per six months of service, and employees at levels 65 to 67 were offered two weeks of base pay per six months of service. Buyout offers also include continued regular stock vesting and health insurance.
标准的股票归属遣散方案为职级67及以下员工提供六个月或12个月的归属期，具体取决于工龄。一位微软发言人表示，符合条件的员工将有至12月初的时间决定是否接受提议并在年底离职，目前没有再次实施干断的计划。标准遣散费对职级67及以下员工上限为39周基本工资，而职级68的标准遣散方案包含12个月薪资。
The standard stock-vesting severance offer is six or 12 months for levels 67 and below, based on years of service. Eligible employees will have until early December to decide whether to take the offer and exit at the end of the year, and there are no plans for another buyout at this time, a Microsoft spokesperson said. Standard severance is capped at 39 weeks of base pay for levels 67 and below, while the standard severance offer for level 68 includes 12 months of salary.
今年早些时候，微软推出了针对员工的自愿退休计划。当时，约7%的美国员工，即约8750人符合资格。正如商业内幕网此前报道，微软的自愿退休计划提议同样与公司的标准遣散方案一致，包括根据工龄继续正常的股票归属六个月或12个月。
Earlier this year, Microsoft rolled out a voluntary retirement program for employees. About 7% of Microsoft's US workforce, or about 8,750 people, were eligible at the time. As Business Insider previously reported, Microsoft's voluntary retirement program offer also aligned with the company's standard severance offer, including continued regular stock vesting for six or 12 months, based on years of service.
据《商业内幕》此前报道，今年早些时候，另一家科技巨头谷歌曾向其业务部门的员工提供买断方案。随着更多科技公司推出买断计划，一些人力资源专业人士此前曾对《商业内幕》表示，这种做法可能会缓和裁员的冲击，但也指出，如果向所有工龄的员工开放买断，公司则面临流失人才的风险。
Earlier this year, another tech giant, Google, offered buyouts to staff in its business unit, Business Insider previously reported. As more tech companies offer buyouts, some human resources professionals previously told Business Insider that this approach could soften job cuts, and also that when they're made available to workers of all tenures, companies risk losing talent.
