New York, New York-based Hawkfish, political technology and data analysis company founded by billionaire and former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg in anticipation of Bloomber's presidential run, has announced that it will be discontinuing operations, closing its offices, and laing off all 108 employees on May 9, 2021.
According to a company spokesperson, "After the election, Hawkfish’s leadership team started exploring potential avenues for the company’s future and concluded that Hawkfish would not continue in its current constitution. The decision to wind down Hawkfish’s operations was not made lightly or without considering other courses of action. The company expects wind down by May, providing staff with a three-month runway to remain at-will employees of Hawkfish and continue to be eligible for pay and benefits while they secure their next position. We are going to wind down Hawkfish this spring.
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?
