Ancestry, the largest seller of at-home DNA tests for health and genealogy reports, is laying off about 100 people, approximately 6% of its total workforce. The cuts hit employees across the board, rather than focusing on a specific department, and included workers at all levels. The layoffs affected both its Utah and California offices.

Ancestry are not paying and yearly merit review to "try and avoid layoffs". So expect layoffs in March as per usual.
More to come in the next month, small amount but they've been doing that over the last few months.
Also confirming March 2024 Ancestry layoff. I am a former employee and two colleagues have reached out for referrals this week.
Confirming.
New layoff occurred mid March 2024.
Well, I just heard of new layoffs today in 2024.
Look at the date. This was from 2020.
