Santa Clara, California-based Agilent Technologies, a provider of laboratory test instruments, software, services, and consumables, has announced a new restructuring plan in response to current macroeconomic conditions, which will lead to unspecified site closures and layoffs.
The reduction in force is said to be 2% or approximately 400 employees. Layoffs will commence in the first quarter of 2024 and to be substantially complete by the end of the fiscal year 2024.
An Agilent spokesperson noted, “While these decisions are difficult, they are necessary to ensure Agilent’s long-term success and competitiveness.”
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. We see good people being laid off through no fault of their own. 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?
