Lanham, Maryland-based Science Systems and Applications, Inc., a consultancy specializing in scientific, engineering, and IT support for Earth and space science research, has announced a reduction in force, possibly related to contract losses as the Administration prunes the federal budget.
The reduction will affect 149 employees, with layoffs taking effect on August 31, 2025. This follows a previous layoff of 148 workers on April 8, 2025.
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, nor promises of a bright future. We see good people being laid off through no fault of their own. Just because something terrible hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it won't. It can happen to anyone, at any time, anywhere. No one is guaranteed to wake up tomorrow and still have a job by evening. While many employees can read the writing on the wall, why do most assume it’s targeted at someone else? Are you now wondering, Am I Next?
