   10% of global workforce cut and CTO replaced. Company said savings would fund more AI and enterprise-sales investment; framed as rebalancing for the AI era rather than AI directly replacing the roles.

   Atlassian said the layoffs would let it 'spend more funds on AI and enterprise sales'; CEO Mike Cannon-Brookes: 'The bar for what great looks like for software companies - on growth, on profitability, on speed, on value creation - has gone up.'
