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

Atlassian employees report being laid off after the company introduced AI 'teammates' to assist with work. Despite former employees acknowledging the AI tools were helpful, they maintain these systems couldn't replace human workers - yet layoffs followed their implementation. Workers describe being terminated from jobs where they were 'exceeding expectations' with no clear explanation from the company.
