AM I NEXT? NO LOVE AT LEIDOS

Reston, Virginia-based Leidos Holdings, a defense, aviation, information technology, and biomedical research consultancy, has announced a personnel realignment to "promote ongoing changes and opportunities in our business environment."

The reduction in force affected 305 employees in non-customer-facing roles.

According to a company spokesperson, “The layoff notices are part of organizational changes the company is making and aim to help us to operate more efficiently and best position us for the future. We are grateful to each colleague affected by these reductions, and we are committed to supporting them through this transition."

Change is constant, and it's 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?

AM I NEXT? NO LOVE AT INDUS

San Diego, California-based INDUS Technology, a defense and government services contractor providing life-cycle management, engineering, cybersecurity, integrated logistics, and IT services primarily to the Department of the Navy and other DoD agencies, has announced a reduction in force due to an expiring Navy contract that was awarded to an unspecified company.

The contract loss will impact 120 employees at two locations, including engineering technicians, logisticians, and electronics technicians located on the Kitsap Peninsula in Washington State. Layoffs are scheduled on September 14, 2026.

The two affected locations are for a division of the Naval Undersea Warfare Center, which researches and develops submarines, torpedoes, and sonar systems, and the Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor Visitor Control Center.

According to a company statement, "The layoffs are due to the upcoming expiration of the current contract and the end of the associated performance period."
