It looks like another round is starting at Hughes this week.

I recently found out that Hughes doesn’t actually own the Jupiter-3 satellite, it’s leased from EchoStar, and Hughes pays about $190 million per year for that lease. I also learned that the SpaceX–EchoStar spectrum deal includes a clause requiring... — read more 

My manager told me that another BIG round of layoffs is happening in mid Nov, approved by people very high up......And then again in Q1...... 66% in previous post was not a lie..... it will be the ultimate goal by Q2 2026...... Everyone should START... — read more 

people at the very top have decided that Hughes will lose a ton of employees. Every team will be affected ~66% reduction all around. It is speculated to happen on 1st Oct but could be anywhere between then and 15th Oct.

Hoping that EchoStar does a big fat share buyback or adds a nice dividend. Unfortunately, they're a very poorly run company and will end up using this as an excuse for layoffs. This stock (accounting for Dish as well) has been an Out & Out disaster... — read more

Mass layoffs at Echostar littleton due to the boost mobile shutdown. Learned a lot. Did a lot. No hard feelings. Couple months of pay. And looking forward to next chapter.

What's future of company. I just sold my part and make around 1.3M. do you think it's enough to survive if layoff will happen?

sorry Charlie, I doubt you, you are a man. Now we all can retired. Already sold my part and make enough. No tension for layoff now.

A lot of people were let go. Will probably continue for the rest of the year in small batches.....get out while you can!!!

Why can't we get more info on layoffs? What is the management hiding?

Last layoff was Jan 2023. Rumors going around that it will happen again after the Dish merger

ECHOSTAR has laid off 100 employees company wide and more are pending. People from various departments have been let go.
