A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

That sounds like they're eliminating some profile globally. I wonder which particular role they don't need anymore, that required a profile so specific that they couldn't reassign those people to some other role.
How ironic would it be, to learn that they finally managed to fully replace some profile with an AI, so they no longer need humans for that role?
It's mostly software engineers, and distributed across almost every team.
