TSC layoffs
Confirmed by numerous current employees under NDA, large layoffs coming very very soon. It's all for optics folks. A corporation also cannot promote people in the name of equity, without financial ramifications.
The corporate and interventional management was in Arizona last week. They spent 3 days in meetings with PI leadership and we didn't see a lot of them. PI didn't close the FY great and saw layoffs in Dec. If things haven't improve enough we might see more very soon.
I was laid off (last day was March 31, 2023) MMS San Deigo after 11 years. A few others in MMS San Diego were impacted I know of / worked with also. I suspect more to come end of June 2023.
Last Friday there were a few layoffs in BDB San Jose
