In an email to staff, CEO Dirk-Peter van Leeuwen said SUSE's current organizational structure and cost base will not let it move forward successfully. He did not specify which roles are affected; staff are to be informed by November 4, according to The Register. Squarespace also announced cutting 19% of its workforce, without explicit mention of AI. Economists say the feared wave of mass layoffs has not yet arrived.
