Rockville, Maryland-based Abt Global, a technology-based consultancy providing services to governments, nonprofits, academic institutions and foundations, has announced a major reduction in the company's workforce.
The personnel realignment will impact 241 Maryland employees commencing on May 1, 2025. Additional layoffs companywide may be forthcoming.
It is believed that the decision was driven Trump administration's intentions to freeze USAID funding and restructure or abolish the agency which would materiall affect the company that provides contract work for the U.S. Agency for International Development.
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?
