The memo did not explicitly mention job cuts, but sources suggest significant layoffs are possible. The reorganization reflects a shift from traditional software sales to cloud-based solutions, necessitating a different sales approach. While some jobs may be eliminated, new roles could emerge to support the new system, though specifics remain unclear.
