Brooklyn, New York-based Care/of, 70% owned by Bayer, offers personalized subscription vitamin packs. As of Monday, June 17, 2024, it will cancel all subscriptions and no longer accept new orders.
The company will lay off all 143 employees by July 3, 2024, due to a “funding loss.”
According to a company spokesperson, “We are actively exploring options for the brand but do not have anything definitive to communicate at this time. We hope to be in a place to share more soon.”
Earlier this month, Bayer’s director of strategic communications Christin Miller noted that “ceasing further investment in Care/of will allow Bayer to better invest in future innovations at help people manage their personalize health.”
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?
