AM I NEXT? NO LOVE AT PURE STORAGE

Santa Clara, California-based Pure Storage, a developer of all-flash data storage hardware and software products, has announced a 4% reduction in its workforce.

The headcount realignment will impact approximatel 275 employees, including those in data protection, AI & analytics, database, alliances, and unstructured data operations. This follows two previous layoffs in 2023.

A company spokesperson noted, “As Pure continues to scale and maintain a record of high growth and innovation, we recently completed a workforce rebalancing initiative to align our employees with company priorities and areas that are strategic to the business. The employees affected by this initiative were eligible to apply to open roles and also offered outplacement services to assist with their job search outside of Pure.”

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?
