Just saw the official WARN notice come through for the Cambridge office. 83 people impacted, effective end of June. It’s honestly brutal seeing the list start to materialize after all the 'operational efficiency' talk during the last town hall. Does anyone know if this is limited to the local R&D footprint or if they’re carving out corporate roles too? I’ve been hearing whispers about internal reshuffling, but the scale of this notice caught a lot of people off guard. If you’re one of the 83, I’m truly sorry—this industry is getting harder to predict every single quarter. Looking for any info on whether they are offering any decent severance packages or if it's the standard bare minimum. Staying anonymous for obvious reasons, but stay safe out there everyone.

It’s absolutely gut-wrenching to see those numbers confirmed. I suspect this is just the tip of the iceberg, unfortunately. When leadership starts throwing around buzzwords like 'operational efficiency,' it’s almost always code for head-count reductions that ripple across the entire organization, not just R&D. I wouldn't be surprised if the corporate side starts feeling the squeeze by Q3. If you're still sitting at your desk, keep your head down, update your resume, and start networking quietly. This industry has a way of turning on its own without much warning or loyalty.

I’m so sorry to hear you’re dealing with this. The uncertainty is often the worst part of the process. While the notice specifies the local Cambridge footprint, the internal chatter suggests that the reshuffling is much broader than just one facility. Management is clearly tightening the belt across all departments to boost margins for the upcoming quarter. If you haven't received a call yet, consider yourself lucky for now, but don't get complacent. Start looking at external opportunities immediately, as the culture shift here feels permanent and definitely not in our favor.
