Longtime SUSE staff asked if they'd opt for 'voluntary separation'
Other changes also afoot as employees unionize and the distro itself sees modifications
SUSE has extended an invitation for certain staff members to consider voluntary separation as the company undergoes restructuring, according to The Register. Lisa Sherwell, a People, Strategy and Transformation Executive, reached out to employees following a company-wide virtual gathering. The company's statement emphasized that participation in the voluntary separation and early retirement option is entirely at the discretion of both employees and the organization, with no set targets in place.
The move follows a recent staff development in SUSE's Czech operation, where employees have formed the SUSE Workers Union, affiliated with the Czech ICT Union representing IT and call-center industries. While there is no direct evidence linking the two events, multiple sources confirm the company has contacted long-serving employees, particularly those with over ten years of service, for voluntary separation discussions.
