Summary
In January 2026, Autodesk announced the layoff of approximately 1,000 employees, representing about 7% of its global workforce, as part of a strategic restructuring. These cuts primarily impact customer-facing sales teams to shift resources toward AI initiatives and cloud platform development. The company stated this is not a response to economic conditions, but rather the final phase of a multi-year sales organization restructuring.
