ClickUp, a cloud-based productivity platform, reduced its workforce by 22 percent this week. The company said the change is intended to support an AI-first strategy rather than to cut costs. CEO Zeb Evans posted a statement exceeding 1,000 words on X.
He wrote that the business is "the strongest it's ever been" and that firms must redesign operations around AI instead of adding the technology to existing processes. Evans added that employees who generate "outsized impact" through AI systems may receive compensation outside traditional structures, including annual salaries of $1 million.
The company did not disclose the number of employees affected or the locations of the positions eliminated.
