🔥 Shopify CEO’s Bold Memo on AI Hires & Redefining Work
In a company-wide memo, Shopify’s CEO laid down a clear message: if AI can do your job better, expect it to. It’s not personal, it’s just the new reality.
💡 Highlights:
Shopify now assesses every new role by asking: Can AI do this better, faster, or cheaper?
The company plans to hire fewer people and lean more on AI tools and agents.
Lütke emphasized embracing AI to stay lean and agile — “This is not a layoff. It’s an evolution.”
Critics argue this risks dehumanizing the workplace, but proponents call it pragmatic and visionary.
👀 Expect more companies to follow suit and more heated debate on the future of jobs.
