Atlassian Cuts 1,600 Jobs to Fund AI Push, Replaces CTO

Atlassian will lay off about 1,600 employees (roughly 10% of its workforce) and replace its chief technology officer as part of a restructuring to invest more in artificial intelligence. Severance and related costs could total up to $174 million, plus at least $62 million in exit charges. Reductions hit mainly software R&D and engineering across North America, Australia and India, with the company noting the layoffs are aimed at strengthening its financial position to self-fund AI and enterprise sales. CTO Rajeev Rajan will be replaced by Taroon Mandhana and Vikram Rao; founders say AI-driven changes justify the move, even as it weighs on staff. Shares rose about 4% in after-hours trading.

Browns free up cap space by restructuring Deshaun Watson contract

The Browns are restructuring quarterback Deshaun Watson’s contract to create about $35.76 million in cap space for the 2026 league year, lowering his 2026 cap hit from $80.72 million. This is the last year of his fully guaranteed five-year deal, and Watson, coming off injuries, is expected to compete for Cleveland’s starting quarterback role in 2026, with the team continuing to pay for the deal beyond this season.

USPS Hires Restructuring Advisers as Cash Reserve Tightens Toward 2027

The United States Postal Service is bringing in restructuring advisers, including Alvarez & Marsal, after warning its cash could run out within 12 months without reforms. Postmaster General David Steiner says USPS has lost about $120 billion since 2007 as mail volumes shrink, making the costly last‑mile delivery a central issue. He will testify before Congress and has floated options such as debt relief, pricing flexibility, and reform of retiree health obligations, plus broader access to its network to raise funds; he cautioned that without changes there could be no Valentine’s Day cards delivered in February 2027.

Target trims 500 roles, realigns districts under new CEO

Target will restructure parts of its organization and cut about 500 positions—roughly 400 in its supply chain and 100 at store districts—to streamline the field structure and reinvest in stores with more labor, hours, and guest-experience training. No store-level jobs will be cut, though some regional offices will close. The changes, announced as new CEO Michael Fiddelke begins leading the company, aim to boost efficiency and growth ahead of earnings due March 3.

Stellantis Reorients Strategy Around Customer Choice to Drive Profitability

Stellantis unveiled a strategic reset to align its portfolio with real-world customer demand for EVs, hybrids and ICE, taking about €22.2 billion in charges in H2 2025 (including roughly €6.5 billion cash) and suspending the 2026 dividend as it issues up to €5 billion of hybrid bonds; it also plans a roughly $13 billion U.S. investment, new models and a major reorganization to restore growth and improve net revenues, AOI margin and industrial free cash flow in 2026, supported by about €46 billion in industrial liquidity. Early results show H2 2025 volume rose 11% to 2.8 million units with higher orders and improved quality, while 2025 ends in a net loss before the planned improvements take hold.

Stellantis Hits Reset Button, Takes $26B EV Charge as Demand Shifts

Stellantis unveiled a major strategic reset, booking about €22.2 billion ($26.2B) in charges tied to canceled EV programs and a realignment of its EV plans and supply chain; the move spooked investors with shares dropping up to ~30%. The company posted a 2025 net loss and said no dividend will be paid in 2026, though CEO Antonio Filosa expects profitability in 2026. The charges reflect over-optimistic EV pacing and a demand-driven energy transition. The European regulatory backdrop remains tricky, as the EU shifted from a 100% combustion-engine ban by 2035 to a 90% ban, leaving room for hybrids or ICE vehicles, complicating the path for Stellantis and others in Europe.

Amazon Trims 16,000 Corporate Roles to Speed Its AI Push

Amazon plans to lay off about 16,000 corporate workers as part of a ongoing effort to reduce bureaucracy and free funds for artificial intelligence investments. This is the second major round of cuts since October, bringing total corporate/tech reductions to roughly 30,000 (about 10% of that workforce). CEO Andy Jassy says the changes are about efficiency, not establishing a new quarterly layoff cadence, as Amazon sharpens its focus on AI and related infrastructure, including recent shuttering of the Fresh and Go ventures.
