5.7% Layoffs (400+) today and I was one of them. - Director of Engineering Bio-Rad Laboratories Employee Review

Thank you for this feedback. We understand you were part of Bio-Rad’s recent restructuring plan, and we wish you well. For others who may be curious about it, we offer the following… Bio-Rad recently made important organizational changes to improve its ongoing operating performance. This primarily impacted our operations in the United States and included the elimination of certain positions, the consolidation of some functions, and the relocation of specific operations. This affected approximately 5% of our overall global workforce. These actions were important and necessary to respond to market conditions and economic realities. Bio-Rad's senior leadership did not enter them lightly. Further, Bio-Rad will take what steps it can to support employees directly affected, including offering cash severance payments, extended healthcare benefits, and related transition assistance.
