AM I NEXT? NO LOVE AT ATMOSPHERE

Austin, Texas-based Atmosphere, a business-oriented streaming TV platform built for private customer-oriented videos, continues its cost-cutting initiative.

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?
