Bedford, Massachusetts-based S4, Inc., a government vendor supplying information, cybersecurity, and professional services to the U.S. Government, notably the DoD (Department of Defense) and DHS (Department of Homeland Security) has announced that it plans to layoff 77 employees, including help desk employees, network monitors, operations management workers and network technicians in its Colorado Springs, Colorado facility in late January, 2020.
The decision was driven by the loss of its N2ITSM (NORAD and USNORTHCOM Information Technology Service Management) contact to provide data management services at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs, Colorado. It appears that the 5-year contact that had a ceiling of $99 million lost its funding.
Some employees are expected to apply for jobs at Reston, Virginia-based Leidos, formerly known as SAIC (Science Applications International Corporation) a large defense contractor who has been awarded the services contract and also maintains offices in Colorado Springs.
Change is coming. There will always be a tomorrow, no matter how much you may try to ignore it. There are no guarantees in life or promises for a bright future. Just because something bad hasn't happened yet, doesn't mean it won't. It can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere. No one is guaranteed to wake up tomorrow and still have a job by evening. Are you now wondering, Am I Next?
