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?

AM I NEXT? NO LOVE AT SPS TECHNOLOGIES

Jenkintown, Pennsylvania-based SPS Technologies, a developer, manufacturer, and global supplier of aerospace fasteners and fittings, has announced a major reduction in force .

The reduction in force will impact 250 employees. The decision was driven by a massive fire at its Glenside, Pennsylvania facility.

A company spokesman noted, "After intense analysis of what areas of the location were severely impacted, SPS Technologies has a clearer picture of our personnel needs. Regretfully, we will have to make employment adjustments to align with those product lines and volumes the Company can still support."

AM I NEXT? NO LOVE AT SUTRO BIOPHARMA

San Francisco, California-based Sutro Biopharma, a biotechnology company researching anti-cancer drugs, has announced the departure of three top executives, the closure of its San Carlos, California manufacturing facility by the end of 2025, and a reduction in force.

The personnel adjustment will impact approximately half the company's workforce, about 10 employees. The decision was driven by large losses and the failure to obtain approval for the commercial sale of its products.

According to an SEC filing...

"Sutro Biopharma, Inc. today announced the completion of a strategic portfolio review resulting in the prioritization of its three wholly-owned preclinical programs in its next-generation ADC pipeline."

"Additionally, the Company announced that it is deprioritizing additional investment into development of luvelta across all indications and is reducing headcount by nearly 50 percent. The Company will continue to explore global out-licensing opportunities for luvelta, as Sutro still believes in its potential to provide significant benefit to patients with unmet need. Further, given Sutro’s significant progress in fully externalizing its cell-free manufacturing to scale, the Company intends to exit its internal GMP manufacturing facility by year-end."

"The Company also announced that Bill Newell and Sutro’s Board of Directors have mutually agreed that it is the right time to transition leadership. Jane Chung, President and Chief Operating Officer, will assume the responsibilities of Chief Executive Officer and Board member from Mr. Newell, effective today. Mr. Newell will continue to be available at the Company’s request in an advisory capacity through the transition."
