    The vast majority of those we laid off last week were measurers. We cut middle managers across the organization because AI allows us to have more direct reports per manager while still measuring and mentoring our teams effectively. We consolidated our operations functions into a single group that can support teams across the business, using AI to gain specific expertise when needed. We significantly reduced our marketing team, which, like in most companies, was teeming with measurers. Across our finance team, we found opportunities to consolidate and automate.

    But the layoff wasn’t about reducing headcount. In fact, we have a record number of open positions. In coming years I expect our number of employees will continue to grow. With fewer people needed for measuring, we can now invest more in people in the areas that drive growth.

    that makes sense to me

    The only ones that should be replaced by as I are the CEOs themselves. And they secretly know it.
