CMixed - Where
- US - Global workforce.
- Headcount
- Net headcount fell from c.162,000 to c.141,000 (c.13%) over fiscal 2026 per 10-K filed 22 Jun 2026. This is a net decline, not a single announced layoff.
- Roles
- Not itemised
- Stated reason
- 10-K: adoption of AI 'resulted, and may continue to result, in reductions' in workforce; c.$1.8bn restructuring; heavy spending on AI data-centre build-out.
- AI mechanism
- AI among several efficiency reasons
- Why C
- The filing says AI adoption caused reductions, but the 21,000 figure is a net decline with no attribution, and funding the capex build-out is a strong competing explanation.
