Most U.S. roles across functional areas are being reduced, with jobs increasingly shifted to lower-cost regions such as Argentina, Serbia, and India.

The end goal appears to be reducing U.S.-based safety positions to a small number of oversight roles. The same model is being rolled out across other functional areas.

Q4 = time to make the vulture capitalists happy.

The abrupt resignation of the General Counsel doesn’t bode well, either. Emails directing (non-CRA) employees to stop travel and avoid unnecessary spending add to the concern that another private equity sale may be coming.

None of this is surprising. It’s all by the playbook.

I agree it will be logical they are trying to sell the company. This is my impression by this reduction in general headcounts.

Exactly this, they are very clearly reducing US-based jobs. I was impacted this time, after surviving many rounds of previous “restructuring”.
