Lufthansa said it would cut 4,000 mostly administrative jobs by 2030, largely in Germany, as it reviews duplicated work and expects AI and digital tools to streamline many processes.
Accenture's headcount fell by more than 11,000 in three months during an $865 million restructuring. CEO Julie Sweet said it was exiting staff who could not be reskilled for the AI skills it needs.
CEO Marc Benioff disclosed that Salesforce had cut about 4,000 customer support roles, shrinking support headcount from about 9,000 to 5,000, as AI agents began handling about half of customer conversations.

Morgan Stanley planned to cut about 2,000 jobs in its first major workforce reduction under CEO Ted Pick, sparing its roughly 15,000 financial advisers; people familiar said a small share reflected AI and automation.
Autodesk said it would lay off 1,350 employees, about 9% of its workforce, as it reshapes its sales model and moves resources toward cloud, platform and AI work.
Workday said it would cut about 1,750 jobs, roughly 8.5% of its workforce, with CEO Carl Eschenbach saying the reductions would let the company prioritize investments such as artificial intelligence.
Each layoff is an announcement a company made or confirmed, with at least one source. Employee totals add the numbers as stated: “about”, “at least” and “up to” figures count as given, and layoffs without a number count toward companies and layoffs only. Headquarters filters use where a company is based, not where the cuts happen.
