Just saw the official WARN notice update for the Richmond office. It’s officially 116 people getting cut on April 21st. I know the company likes to keep these things quiet until the last possible second, but I figured I’d put it out there so people stop speculating. If you’re in that location, please start checking your email or your status if you haven’t already. The notice was filed back in mid-January, which explains why the tension in the office has been so high the last few months. It sucks that it took until now for the paperwork to be fully public, but at least the numbers are out. Stay safe everyone, keep your resumes updated and your network warm.

That is absolutely brutal. I’ve been hearing whispers about budget tightening for months, but seeing the actual number and the date makes it feel way too real. I really feel for everyone caught up in this transition, especially with the company keeping things so vague. If you are one of the people impacted, make sure to document everything and reach out to your local network immediately. This industry is incredibly volatile right now, and it is honestly exhausting to watch talented people get let go like this. Hang in there and keep your head up.

It is honestly frustrating how they handle these layoffs. Keeping employees in the dark while they quietly file legal paperwork is a coward’s way of managing a workforce. This kind of news is never easy to process, but at least now the speculation can end so people can start looking for their next move. My advice to anyone at the Richmond office is to save your personal files and contact info before your access gets pulled on the 21st. Don't wait for them to give you permission to prepare for your future. Best of luck to everyone navigating this mess.
