It has only just started. Almost everyone I know is already planning to leave the company after multiple rounds of layoffs with no clear strategy. Now, with the push toward agentic AI, R&D teams are being asked to train AI agents to do their jobs, while AEs are expected to test and improve AI workflows that could eventually replace them.
At this point, nobody seems to trust upper management anymore. Let’s see how customers react when there are fewer experienced people available to answer their questions and support their needs. Customer engagement and product adoption could take a serious hit.
Meanwhile, more and more companies are developing AI-powered alternatives that aim to replace the very solutions Synopsys sells. It wouldn’t be surprising if customers increasingly chose to build their own solutions rather than rely on Synopsys tools. The company is heading down a dangerous path.

@13d We're ALL looking to leave, but venting frustration helps until you can.
Complaining will not help you. Instead it will destroy your mental health. Leaving the burning oil platform at the sea if possible.
Exactly. Zero trust in upper mgmt... absolue zero.
@OP the problem is not only the higher management, it is also who they trust. Apparently they more believe those people who create ridiculous slides, because they can only understand high level slides.
