> The industry is changing. Advances in AI, automation, and technology are reshaping how work gets done, and we're changing with them

It's never AI. In almost every case, companies that claim it's AI are doing so because reducing headcount due to "automating with AI" sounds better than the real reason, often over hiring, financial troubles and other reasons that might scare investors away.

The correct term is usually AI Washing.

lol everyone quit using elasticsearch for opensearch. Elastic use to be pretty cool but that was over ten years ago.

Right now if you're a open company, you have to keep a constant flow of layoffs in order to satisfy the wall street vampires.

I don't even blame the CEOs anymore, very few of them have the fortitude or the luxury of even being able to say: "Shut up stupid monkeys, I won't do layoffs to satisfy your urges this quarter, I don't want to fuck the long term value creation ability of this company just because you want a quick orgasm now".

> this requires us to move faster and operate leaner than we have before

:laughing:

> To do it, we're shifting our pace of innovation, simplifying how we operate, and investing in new skills. That's what this reorganization is for: a simpler structure, with fewer layers, less complexity, and less friction.

Translation: We're going to run the remaining people ragged.

> That means fewer layers, broader ownership, clearer accountability, and a sharper focus on the skills we believe matter most for what's ahead.

Yeah the people remaining are cooked.

It's never "we're going to hire more people to build lots of cool stuff" it's always giving fewer people quadruple the responsibility expectation.
