Summary
Qualtrics is cutting 117 employees in its Seattle office, with affected staff notified on Aug. 19 and a separation date set for Oct. 18, according to a WARN filing. The company said the layoffs stem from its $6.75 billion acquisition of Press Ganey Forsta and a subsequent restructuring to remove duplicate roles as the two firms integrate. The filing stated the cuts will not involve relocated positions, and LinkedIn posts indicate some layoffs also occurred in Provo, Utah and international offices, though the filing specifies Seattle. The article notes past rounds of layoffs at Qualtrics and places these reductions in the wider context of substantial tech-sector job cuts in the Seattle area.
