Rumors about UA layoffs... trouble at UA?

Post by James Steele »

Topic popped up over at Avid's forum:

https://duc.avid.com/showthread.php?p=2660630

Someone shared a FB post from an engineer at Universal Audio that seems to indicate things are bad over there. Many being laid off. I know Apple hired away one of their top guys recently. Reports are too that CEO at UA wants to get away from the hardware business. (As I sit here with my TB3 Satellite OCTO).

For anyone interested here's an article about this:

It really has no new information, but simply quotes a post a UA rep made at Avid DUC in the topic linked in my previous post. I can't imagine UA not surviving. They seem "too big to fail" as the saying goes.
