Intuit, a leading financial software company, has announced the layoff of approximately 3,000 employees, which constitutes nearly 17% of its workforce. This decision, outlined in an internal memo from CEO Sasan Goodarzi, is part of a strategic restructuring aimed at enhancing the company's focus on artificial intelligence (AI) development across its product offerings, including TurboTax, QuickBooks, and Credit Karma. Despite posting strong financial results, with a revenue of $4.65 billion and a 48% increase in net profit to $693 million in the last quarter, Intuit is prioritizing AI to remain competitive against emerging AI-native tools. The tech industry is witnessing a significant shift, with over 100,000 jobs eliminated this year as companies like Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft also pivot towards AI. This trend indicates that AI is becoming central to growth strategies, leading to workforce reductions and departmental restructuring.
