On November 6, the Boston-based robot vacuum maker cut 105 employees, roughly 16% of its remaining staff, as part of what it called an "operational restructuring plan." The cuts came about nine months after Amazon abandoned its $1.7 billion takeover bid, citing EU regulatory concerns, and paid a $94 million breakup fee. Since that deal fell apart in January 2024, iRobot had already shed around 350 jobs (31% of its workforce at the time), meaning the company had halved its headcount over the course of the year. CEO Gary Cohen framed the reductions as proof the business model had changed: "These moves have fundamentally changed how we work with partners to efficiently develop and build our robots," he said, adding that iRobot had achieved a "significant increase in new product introductions with less than half the internal resources and approximately one-third the cost." No severance details were disclosed. https://layoffcheck.com/companies/irobot#2024-01 https://layoffcheck.com/companies/irobot#2024-01-1030 Mon, 29 Jan 2024 12:00:00 GMT iRobot reported a workforce reduction in Boston in January 29, 2024. https://layoffcheck.com/companies/irobot#2023-02 https://layoffcheck.com/companies/irobot#2023-02-2150 Mon, 13 Feb 2023 12:00:00 GMT iRobot reported a workforce reduction in Boston in February 13, 2023. https://layoffcheck.com/companies/irobot#2022-08 https://layoffcheck.com/companies/irobot#2022-08-3204 Fri, 05 Aug 2022 12:00:00 GMT iRobot reported a workforce reduction in Boston in August 5, 2022.
