Cambridge, Massachusetts-based Akamai Technologies, a global content delivery network, cybersecurity, and cloud service company, has announced a reorganization that includes two new concentrations in internet security and edge technology and which will result in a reduction in force. An estimated 160 employees will be targeted for layoffs.

According to a company official, “With Akamai’s new organizational structure, I am confident we will be able to more nimbly support the dynamic needs of our customers and partners, and more effectively capitalize on emerging growth opportunities.”

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?
