WiseTech, an Australian logistics software company, is set to cut 2,000 jobs as it transitions towards AI-driven operations, affecting nearly 30% of its workforce across 40 countries. Employees have been left in a state of uncertainty for almost three months, with many expressing frustration over the lack of communication regarding their job security. CEO Zubin Appoo indicated that AI could learn a human’s job in just 15 minutes, leading to concerns among workers about their future roles. A petition launched on the union-backed platform Megaphone has garnered over 300 signatures, calling for fair and transparent treatment during the restructuring process, including competitive redundancy packages. Workers are feeling the pressure to maintain performance while facing unclear expectations, leading to heightened stress levels. Interestingly, a recent study indicated that while 69% of firms in the US, UK, Germany, and Australia are utilizing AI, the technology has had minimal impact on employment and productivity over the past three years. As WiseTech positions itself as an AI-led company, the future remains uncertain for both current and potential employees.
