Announcements about 'streamlining operations' and 'improving efficiency'
“6 to 12 months months”
First round of office/lab closures and staff reductions announced
“12 to 24 months months”
Increased client complaints about delayed response times and reduced on-site support
“24 to 48 months months”
Potential bankruptcy rumors as cost-cutting measures impact service quality and client retention
