Intuit cut 3,000 jobs and did not blame AI

Why did Intuit lay off about 3,000 people in 2026?

Intuit announced on May 20, 2026 that it is cutting about 3,000 jobs, roughly 17 percent of its global workforce. CEO Sasan Goodarzi said the move simplifies its structure and shifts resources toward AI, but Intuit did not attribute the cuts to AI. Job loss risk is real either way, so a household reserve helps.
