Microsoft Inc. is reportedly preparing its headquarters in San Francisco for the possible arrival of OpenAI employees. This comes after chief technology officer, Kevin Scott, announced that they can join the company should they decide to follow their former CEO, Sam Altman, who was ousted from his role last Friday.
Scott also sweetened the offer to OpenAI employees by telling them that Microsoft would match their salaries if they decided to move to the company. The offer was made by the tech firm’s CTO after it was reported that the artificial intelligence (AI) research firm’s staff were threatening to walk out if the OpenAI board did not resign.
Microsoft is on Standby for Onboarding
According to CNBC, Microsoft already put its human resource and legal teams on standby so they can quickly hire and onboard the OpenAI staff who will come to them. In addition, it is also modifying office layouts to make workspaces available - complete with Apple MacBook laptops.
“To my partners at OpenAI: We have seen your petition and appreciate your desire potentially to join Sam Altman at Microsoft’s new AI Research Lab,” Scott wrote on X. “Know that if needed, you have a role at Microsoft that matches your compensation and advances our collective mission.”
Then again, the status of OpenAI’s staff in their current office is still uncertain and there is no new update as of the moment. Still, Microsoft assured them that they already have a new home if they want to leave.
Major Companies Join the Stage to Hire OpenAI Employees
Aside from Microsoft, Salesforce and Nvidia are just the two other major companies that have expressed intention to hire employees of OpenAI if they truly walk out after the ouster of their CEO last week. Over 90% of the employees have signed a petition for the board to resign and if not, they threaten to leave.
In any case, CoinTelegraph reported that Salesforce and Nvidia are also opening their doors to OpenAI employees. Like Microsoft, they can also join their companies at any time and enjoy better benefits as well.
