It's starting to look more and more like good old age discrimination from where I'm standing.

In San Jose, almost everyone was 40+
They said 800 employees were let go allowing them to save $100 million. That’s $125K per employee including benefits, so probably the average salary of each person laid off was $100K. $100K isn’t a high salary at all.
plenty of younger people were impacted as well. seems like they got rid of the high paid high performers at my location lmfao, good luck and good riddance
In Denver, it sure looks to me like the older employees were targeted. I'd be interested in hearing about other sites.
Always some old fossil complaining about this and not their degraded skills and work effort. Glad we got rid of these fossils so the company has a future. Not surprised at all that these boomers would creek and moan about AgE DiSCrImInAtIoN lol. Good riddance.
Ok boomer.
Layoffs were probably age-balanced just enough to avoid any clear cut case of age discrimination, but the reality is older, more experienced employees are paid far more than the college grads that Viasat loves to bring in each year, so yes, those laid off are always going to skew older at Viasat.
I saw a few names of young people being laid off, so that doesnt seem to be the case
