Inside the Humane acquisition: HP offers big raises to some, others immediately laid off


Hours after the acquisition was announced, several Humane employees received job offers. Others were not so lucky.

Tuesday may not have been a great day for some Humane investors, but it was especially chaotic for its roughly 200 employees, according to internal documents seen by TechCrunch and two sources who requested anonymity to discuss private matters. Meanwhile, other Humane employees – especially those who worked closer to the AI Pin devices, including in quality assurance, automation, and hardware – were notified they were out of a job on Tuesday night, the sources said. The companies announced on Tuesday that HP IQ will not only be home to Humane’s cofounders, Imran Chaudhri and CEO Bethany Bongiorno, but also the startup’s AI operating system, CosmOS.
