- WiseTech Global to slash jobs
- CEO announced ‘AI transformation program’
WiseTech Global is set to sack almost one third of its workforce as its chief executive claims the ‘era of manually writing code as the core act of engineering is over’.
WiseTech CEO Zubin Appoo revealed on Wednesday an ‘AI transformation program’ would result in about 2,000 jobs getting the axe this year.
Mr Appoo said it would be a ‘phased headcount reduction, initially in product and development and customer service, by up to 50 per cent’.
The logistics software developer, worth around $14.45 billion, employs around 7,000 people.
More to come.
