    As the article says: "One in ten employees at SUSE are facing the chop [...]".

    It would be interesting to know if the reason is truly automation. Apparently the equity firm owning Suse considered selling it off recently, see last paragraph.

    Imho 10% is normal… If you are a corporation, you employ a lot of redundant people. So sometimes you need to make let lose weak ones.

    Pareto not applied here btw

    Invention's primary purpose is to replace human labor. It's explicitly stated by first party as reason for reduction of labor. Comments: "It would be interesting to learn if this has anything to do with AI."
