Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin is laying off 10% of its workforce following its successful New Glenn rocket launch, aiming to streamline operations and enhance efficiency.
Overview
Blue Origin, founded by Jeff Bezos, has announced a 10% workforce reduction affecting approximately 1,400 employees, a month after the successful launch of its New Glenn rocket. CEO Dave Limp cited rapid growth leading to excess bureaucracy as the primary reason for the layoffs, which will impact engineering and project management teams.
