As the article says: "One in ten employees at SUSE are facing the chop [...]".

It would be interesting to know if the reason is truly automation. Apparently the equity firm owning Suse considered selling it off recently, see last paragraph.

Imho 10% is normal… If you are a corporation, you employ a lot of redundant people. So sometimes you need to make let lose weak ones.

Pareto not applied here btw

Compared to the future AI-worker we might all turn out to be weak. :)

Invention's primary purpose is to replace human labor. It's explicitly stated by first party as reason for reduction of labor. Comments: "It would be interesting to learn if this has anything to do with AI."

You could just reply to me directly, you know. I don't doubt that AI is able to fill some roles already but a company can obviously have other reasons to downsize, and maybe they just think "'twas 'cause of AI" sounds better. Then again, maybe I'm just coping, as the kids say.
