On May 15, 2024, a number of Microsoft employees posted: Microsoft headquarters sent an email informing multiple teams responsible for artificial intelligence research in China, such as the C+AI team to do the Azure ML team of the AI platform, etc., to move to the United States or Australia as a whole, involving hundreds of employees, and the employees who received the email need to make a decision before June 7, and they can also choose to get severance compensation, and Microsoft America can also help solve the dependents' visa.

Screenshot of the chat on the Internet:

One user told Yicai that her family's group was responsible for AI-related business, and the email she received showed that her group was packaged to Ireland as a whole, and employees could choose not to go.

In this regard, a relevant person from Microsoft responded to Yicai that this is to give some employees an optional internal transfer opportunity, which will not affect the company's domestic operations.

Some Microsoft employees told The Paper that the situation is true, this is the news that just came out on May 14, and some employees suddenly received an email about the recruitment to work overseas, asking to answer whether to go or not before June 7, "everyone is very confused", and did not feel any signs before. Especially for employees who drag their families with their families, "there are more things to consider". Some colleagues thought that this was a "disguised layoff", and although they could choose not to go, they also worried about the future of staying in the company.
