If you got the offer, consider yourself lucky. I missed it by just a few years. It's a great offer I'd have jumped at. Oh, well. It is what it is, I guess. I wonder if we'll have involuntary layoffs if not enough people accept and what kind of package will be offered in that case.

Msoft offer for someone with 30 yrs... 9 months pay. Full Bonus, 1 yr subsidized medical (same rate as when an employee), yrs 2 thru 5 COBRA rates vs stopping after 18 mo. Plus stock vesting (which would be substantial for Msoft)
@OP It seems discriminatory on a few levels. especially it US pension funds are being used to fund it. Microsoft voluntary retirement is much less restrictive and 100% more generous.
