SUSE Plans 10 Percent Workforce Reduction Citing AI and Automation Changes
Open-source software company SUSE announced plans to reduce its global workforce by about 10 percent, affecting roughly 190 employees. CEO Dirk-Peter van Leeuwen attributed the layoffs to changes driven by artificial intelligence and automation, which have altered operational needs and reduced demand for certain roles. The company described the decision as difficult but necessary for long-term sustainability. SUSE has not specified which roles or regions will be impacted, and the extent of layoffs in countries like India remains unclear.
