Following a software company's announcement of approximately 2,000 job cuts as part of a two-year artificial intelligence restructuring plan, the Association of Professional Engineers, Scientists and Managers, Australia (representing workers in the technology and engineering sectors), has sought an urgent meeting with WiseTech Global.
