Bavarian-based enterprise Linux distribution vendor SUSE is laying off 10% of its global workforce as a result of AI and 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.
Not sure if that would not make it even worse course they’d be lying cowards then?
Yeah, they would both be lying and admiting to vibecoding so idk how that would make it better
