Interesting article about Atlassian and the experiences of staff.

My view is the company is probably borked and will only get worse. They have clearly been on a downward trajectory for a few years now.

The pivot-to-AI will probably backfire too.

First came the AI ‘teammates’, then the layoffs: the new reality for Atlassian staff now looking for work

‘These AI agents have been really, really helpful,’ says a former Sydney employee. ‘But you couldn’t use something like that to replace an actual human worker’

“#Atlassian’s stock has been among the hardest hit by the “#SaaSpocalypse”, a term coined to describe the #SellOff of software-as-a-service companies seen to be most threatened by #AI. In #Australia, it has been dubbed a “#SaaSaccre”.

#USA listed Atlassian is the worst performer of the #Nasdaq100 this year, losing more than half of its value since the start of January. The company, which trades under the ticker #TEAM, commanded a market capitalisation of $116bn five years ago but is now worth $20bn.”

If Atlassian made its fortune on worker collaboration, the AI #WhiteCollar movement will reduce people working and solve the “communication problem” between individuals.

Less workers, less #communication. Atlassian has a double whammy hit to its #business.

#Meta, la società madre di #Facebook, #Instagram e #WhatsApp, sta valutando una ristrutturazione della forza lavoro che potrebbe interessare fino al 20% dei dipendenti.

Dietro questa scelta non ci sono solo tagli, ma una strategia precisa: liberare risorse per investire miliardi in infrastrutture e #intelligenzaartificiale, tra #datacenter e acquisizioni strategiche.

Non è un caso isolato: anche #Oracle, #Atlassian e altre #BigTech stanno riorganizzando gli organici, puntando 1/n

Два студента взяли $10к с кредитки, назвали продукт ASS и случайно создали лучшую экосистему для разработчиков

В марте 2022 года Atlassian объявляют об уходе из России. Сначала останавливают продажи новых лицензий, потом перестают продлевать старые. Россияне начали искать выход. Кто-то готовил обходные пути, кто-то взламывал лицензии через генератор на GitHub, кто-то регистрировал аккаунты через зарубежные филиалы. Много компаний мигрировали на отечественные аналоги. До ухода Atlassian большинство российских компаний работали на их продуктах. Jira была дефолтным инструментом для разработчиков, Trello уже как синоним канбан-доски, а Confluence — единственная корпоративная база знаний, которая не вызывает отвращение. Два студента из Австралии в 2002 году взяли $10 тысяч с кредитки и создали продукты, которыми через 20 лет пользуются миллионы команд по всему миру. Сейчас расскажу, как Atlassian стала стандартом индустрии.

Atlassian-Chef: KI ersetzt bei uns keine Menschen, aber wir feuern sie trotzdem

KI soll bei Atlassian keine Menschen ersetzen, sagt CEO Cannon-Brookes. Aber man müsse trotzdem 1.600 Leute entlassen, um Geld für KI-Investitionen zu haben.
