CBA Cuts 300 Jobs Amid $90M AI-Ready Workforce Pivot

Commonwealth Bank of Australia has announced 300 job cuts across retail and institutional divisions, coinciding with a new $90 million initiative to prepare its remaining workforce for AI integration. The move has drawn sharp criticism from the Finance Sector Union, which points to the bank's recent $5 billion half-year profit as evidence that the redundancies are unnecessary.
