    Some quotes from the video:

    > ...at the same time, we're a people company.

    > Your work will live on in our products.

    > Doing the right thing for Atlassian while acting with humanity and doing the right thing for all those on all sides of this set of decisions.

    Wow. There's a lot to unpack here.

    So I guess we’re only one step away from Andors “They don’t even bother to lie to us badly” given how bald faced this lie is.

    I can't believe how little this is paraphrasing it.

    I'm sure it's such a relief to the humans being fired that their salaries will be used for AI and enterprise sales.

      If that's the reason, I much prefer executives being transparent about it, rather than sugar coating or outright making up excuses.

    Oh no! Yet another "difficult but right decision" (tm) to self-fund further investment in AI.
