Satellite Internet firm Viasat is shedding about 300 jobs from its global workforce — including 72 at its Carlsbad, California, headquarters and another 35 remote workers based in the state.
The company confirmed the layoffs after filing Worker Retraining and Adjustment Notification Act (WARN) paperwork with state and local employment officials earlier this month.
In a statement, Viasat said the job cuts amount to roughly 4 percent of its global headcount. California employees were given the required 60-day notice at the end of March, with the layoffs becoming permanent on June 2.
