SUSE to cut about 10% of its workforce, citing AI and automation
The CEO of the German Linux company, Dirk-Peter van Leeuwen, told employees on Monday that SUSE will part with about 10% of its workforce because of AI and automation. The company was founded in 1992.
Who is affected and how
- employee

- HR professional
- How the rationale is communicated and how affected staff are supported (retraining, outplacement) are the key issues in a layoff.
