Again- CreoScitex layoffs in Herzlia/Bedford/Other, one day before announcing quarterly results.

50 additional ex-CreoScitex Israeli employees will soon join ExScite. Click here to see the Hebrew news at the Israeli paper Yediot. We’ll add an English version soon. In fact we’ve heard rumors that the number of laid off is more than 200 worldwide (5% of workforce).

Michael Rolant, the new manager of CreoScitex in Israel says that the 50 employees (5% of the work force in Israel) are laid off “to streamline the local activity to the current world market conditions”.

Of the 50 employees, 15 are permanent positions and 25 are hourly workers.

 

It is also rumored that 40+ people are to be laid off in the Bedford office (mostly from MIS and Customer Service departments).
