Editorial note
8-K filed June 2 (board approved June 1): roughly 14% of staff (~350; some reports cite 361), exiting 22 of about 60 countries, with a $30–35M charge. The 8-K is silent on AI, but CEO Bill Staples' May 12 'Act 2' letter and Q1 remarks tie the move to GitLab's agentic-AI pivot (the Duo Agent Platform). The US share is undisclosed; given the country-exit structure, US workers are likely a minority.
