Thread regarding Illumina Inc. layoffs

Marketing teams everywhere have been slashed

What that may mean for the rest of us? Cuts have had the major reorg scope. It must affect other operations as well. Or at least it may be pointing towards some major changes coming in the other areas. Probably none of them would be good for us. Anybody have a clue what is really going on and whether we can expect more layoffs?

I was part of the marketing team that was affected by the RIF. They let us know that our last actual day was Oct 1 (so we essentially have 2 months of pay/insurance covered) then severence based on years of service. Hard to know exactly, but in my case it was 2 weeks for each year worked.

It was in Jacob’s earnings Q&A. Read his message that came through. They are moving to other areas for cost savings.

If you can do your job remote, I would be worried. Sounds like a push to move some roles to India.

There are some lazy folks in R&D. They are still hanging in there.. protected some how.

I’m sorry to hear that all. Not what is to come and whether to find another job before it hits the R&D Engineering.

I don’t think so. Remember that the previous RIF included every other department but not marketing.
