Editorial note
Australian logistics-software firm WiseTech Global said in late February 2026 it would cut about 2,000 jobs, beginning in the second half of FY26, paring product, development and customer-service teams — including US subsidiary e2open — by up to half. Attribution is Explicit: CEO Zubin Appoo named AI directly, declaring "the era of manually writing code as the core act of engineering is over." No separate US headcount figure has been confirmed.
