Atlassian Cuts 10% Workforce To Fund AI

Atlassian said Wednesday it will eliminate 10% of its workforce, about 1,600 jobs, as it restructures to self-fund AI and enterprise-sales investment following an AI-driven stock decline. The cuts will incur $225 million to $236 million in charges and are expected to be mostly completed by the end of June. CEO Mike Cannon-Brookes said the move reshapes skill mixes rather than replaces employees.
