The company said it is reducing its headcount by 20%, or about 630 staff, to "support a leaner, more focused operating model" as it focuses on its AI Work Platform.

Israeli workplace software maker Monday.com is laying off hundreds of employees as part of a restructuring plan to refocus its investments around AI projects.

The company said it is reducing its headcount by 20%, or about 630 staff, to “support a leaner, more focused operating model” as it concentrates on its AI Work Platform.

Monday.com earlier this year pivoted hard towards making its AI platform a core offering, redesigning its entire product around the belief that its enterprise customers increasingly want AI agents to work together with their employees. The AI Work Platform currently comprises a no-code app builder, a customizable AI agent, a workflow automation tool, and a chatbot that can do tasks like generating reports and updating dashboards.

The company joins a host of large tech firms that have laid off hundreds of thousands of people as they seek to invest more in AI. Tech layoffs in May hit a monthly high unseen in years, and a record 78% companies have blamed a need to refocus their efforts around AI as a reason for letting people go this year, according to Layoffs.fyi.

More than 122,000 tech roles have been cut so far in 2026, Layoffs.fyi data shows.

Monday.com expects to incur $45 million to $55 million in charges due to the restructuring.

Meta is cutting 8,000 jobs and shifting thousands of workers onto its AI teams

Meta is eliminating roughly 8,000 positions while simultaneously redirecting thousands of remaining employees into artificial intelligence roles, a dual move that compresses the company’s workforce and reshapes what the survivors actually do every day. Internal communications describe the reassignments as mandatory, not voluntary, stripping affected workers of the choice to stay in their current teams. […]
