SUSE Laying Off 10% Of Its Workforce Due To AI & Automation

“SUSE CEO Dirk-Peter van Leeuwen sent out an internal memo to its staff that AI and automation are leading to changes in the industry... and resulting in a 10% global workforce reduction at SUSE. Those affected are set to be notified beginning tomorrow, 4 November.

These layoffs follow voluntary separation offers sent out in September albeit not with enough uptake to satisfy management.

The unfortunate state of the industry.

The tables have turned, and there's no going back. The AI nut jobs are the ones who need to be separated from their employment.
