Atlassian Slashes 1,600 Jobs to Fund AI push
TL;DR
Atlassian said it would cut about 1,600 jobs (10%) to self-fund AI investments and strengthen its financial profile, a move tied to a sharp decline in its stock price; the layoffs are expected to incur roughly $225–$236 million in charges and should be largely complete by June, with leadership stating the changes aim to reshape skills rather than replace people.
