Microsoft employees write open letter to company, flag concerns over AI push, job security

Current and former Microsoft employees, calling themselves 'Concerned Microsoft Workers', have published an open letter questioning the company's AI-first push. They say staff are expected to use AI tools without adequate training, that AI usage is creeping into performance reviews, and that the extra work of checking and fixing AI output goes unrecognised. The letter, reported by The New York Times, comes as Microsoft offers voluntary exits to about 60,000 employees across four countries, its largest buyout programme to date.
