路透社援引一份发给员工的内部备忘录报道称,企业软件巨头 Intuit 将裁减 17% 的员工,约 3000 人,此举旨在将资源转向将人工智能融入其产品。
据路透社报道,首席执行官 Sasan Goodarzi 在备忘录中表示,此次裁员旨在通过简化公司组织结构来降低复杂性,并帮助公司聚焦于人工智能方面的工作。
根据其年度报告,截至 2025 年 7 月,这家生产 TurboTax、QuickBooks 和 Credit Karma 等会计、税务和个人理财软件的公司,在全球拥有 18200 名员工。
Intuit 未立即回应置评请求,也未回答关于其管理层、董事或首席执行官是否会减薪的问题。在 2025 财年,Goodarzi 的薪酬(包括现金激励和股票奖励)价值 3680 万美元。
此次裁员发生在科技行业不景气的一年。根据 Statista 的数据,今年科技行业已裁员超过 10 万人,如果裁员趋势持续,裁员总数有望超过 2024 年和 2025 年。
亚马逊、Block、思科、Cloudflare、Meta、微软和甲骨文等公司各自裁减了数千名员工,它们都将需要重新调整围绕人工智能项目的支出作为裁员和重组组织的理由。
与此同时,所有这些公司近期都报告了强劲的营收和利润,并指出人工智能产品、服务或支撑人工智能的基础设施需求旺盛。随着投资者押注人工智能将成为各地软件公司新的增长途径,这些公司的股价也几乎全部上涨。
然而,Intuit 并未被视为人工智能热潮的受益者,其股价在过去 12 个月中持续跑输标普 500 指数大盘。该公司已陷入更广泛的担忧浪潮之中,即传统的软件即服务公司将无法跟上或竞争,因为新兴的人工智能产品和服务正威胁着改变软件的开发和使用方式。
在截至1月的第二财季,Intuit 报告营收为46.5亿美元,同比增长17%;净利润为6.93亿美元,同比增长48%。
该公司预计第三财季营收将增长约10%,其业绩将于今日晚些时候公布。
Enterprise software giant Intuit is letting 17% of its staff go, or about 3,000 people, as it seeks to divert resources toward baking AI into its products, Reuters reported, citing an internal memo sent to employees.
The memo by CEO Sasan Goodarzi said the layoffs are meant to reduce complexity by simplifying the company’s corporate structure and help it focus on AI efforts, according to Reuters.
The company, which makes accounting, tax, and personal finance software like TurboTax, QuickBooks, and Credit Karma, had 18,200 employees worldwide as of July 2025, according to its annual report.
Intuit did not immediately return a request for comment, or respond to questions about whether its management, directors, or its CEO would take a pay cut. Goodarzi’s salary was worth $36.8 million, including cash incentives and stock awards, during fiscal 2025.
The layoffs come during a bad year for the tech workforce. The tech industry has already cut more than 100,000 jobs this year, per Statista, and is on track to outpace both 2024 and 2025 if the layoff trend continues.
Companies such as Amazon, Block, Cisco, Cloudflare, Meta, Microsoft, and Oracle have let go of thousands of employees each, all of them citing a need to refocus expenditures around AI projects as a reason to cut jobs and restructure their organizations.
At the same time, all of these companies have recently reported strong revenue and profit, citing the apparent strong demand for AI products, services, or the infrastructure to power AI. Nearly all these companies’ share prices have risen, too, as investors bet that AI will serve as a new avenue of growth for software companies everywhere.
Intuit, however, hasn’t been perceived as a beneficiary of the AI boom, with its shares consistently underperforming in the broader S&P 500 over the past 12 months. The company has been caught up in the broader current of worries that traditional software-as-a-service firms will not be able to keep up or compete, as new and upcoming AI products and services threaten to change how software is developed and how it is used.
In its fiscal second quarter ended January, Intuit reported revenue of $4.65 billion, a 17% increase, and net profit of $693 million, a 48% improvement compared to a year earlier.
The company expects revenue to increase by about 10% in the third quarter, for which it will report results later today.
