      <description>More than 1,100 employees, about 20% of Cloudflare&apos;s workforce, lost their jobs in May 2026 as the security and networking company restructured around what it called the &quot;agentic AI era.&quot; Co-founders Matthew Prince and Michelle Zatlyn told staff that internal AI usage had grown more than 600% in the prior three months, prompting a company-wide reimagining of &quot;every internal process, team, and role.&quot; The cuts touched divisions including engineering, HR, finance, and marketing, and leadership framed them as a strategic realignment rather than cost-cutting. Severance was described by the company as industry-leading: full base salary through the end of 2026, healthcare coverage through year-end for U.S. employees, and accelerated equity vesting through August 15, including a waiver of one-year cliffs for eligible workers.</description>
