Boston, Massachusetts-based, JSI Research & Training Institute, a global consulting organization dedicated to improving people’s lives around the world through greater health, education, and socioeconomic equity, has announced a 50% mass reduction in force.
The nonprofit plans to lay off 1,100 employees with the decision being driven by the Trump administration’s freeze on USAID funding.
According to a company spokesperson, “In this challenging moment, JSI remains committed to improving health and education in communities here in the U.S. and around the world.”
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 terrible 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. 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?
