Atlassian Cuts 1,600 Jobs to Fund AI Development Push

Australian software company Atlassian announced layoffs of about 1,600 employees, or 10 percent of its global workforce, to redirect resources toward AI development and enterprise sales.

On March 11, software company Atlassian announced large-scale layoffs. The company laid off approximately 1,600 people, accounting for 10% of global employees. The company's CEO stated that because artificial intelligence has changed work methods, it needs to reduce some job positions. Although the company stated that artificial intelligence did not directly replace employees, demand in some work areas has decreased. In these layoffs, over 900 people came from the software research and development department. Laid-off employees will receive at least 16 weeks of severance compensation. Analysts point out that global technology industry layoffs this year have exceeded 45,000 people.
