I am so confused.

TL;DR; The board basically caved to the demands of the 500+ employees that penned and signed a letter telling them to reinstate Sam Altman and disband the current board.

In addition to reinstating him, most of the board is "quitting".

In this case, the employees won out.

But what about him going to work for Microsoft?

That was more “on the table” if he wasn’t reinstated.

I also suspect there were some inaccuracies in the reporting and headlines around that.
