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.
I have a paid for SUSE subscription and have been to susecon a couple times, I won’t use it anymore after this.
