Ross Video Slashing Workforce By 9% as Tech Layoffs Mount
After hiring aggressively to meet anticipated demand, Ross Video is scaling back its staffing levels.
The Ottawa-based supplier of live production solutions confirmed to the Morrisburg Leader on Aug. 16 that it’s eliminating nine per cent of its workforce.
“Essentially, we’re still growing year-over-year, but not quite at the pace indicated by our record pipeline at the start of the year,” Jeff Poapst, chief manufacturing officer at Ross Video, told The Leader.
The confirmation comes after several employees, including a software developer, notified Samfiru Tumarkin LLP about the layoff on Aug. 15.
Ross Video claims on its website that it employs a total workforce of more than 1,300 people.
