The Great Flattening

2026년 기술 업계에서는 AI 인프라 투자 급증과 함께 8만 명 이상의 대규모 감원이 발생하며 조직 구조가 급격히 평탄화되고 있다. 중간 관리자 계층이 크게 축소되고, AI 에이전트와 협업하는 기술 리드 중심의 3단계 조직 구조로 전환 중이다. 역할 재정의와 직무 자동화가 진행되면서 엔트리 레벨과 레거시 인프라 직무가 크게 줄어드는 반면, AI/ML 고급 인력 수요는 증가하고 있다. 이러한 변화는 단기 비용 절감 효과가 크지만, 2028년 이후 시니어 리더십 인력 부족 문제를 야기할 위험이 있다.
