California company once worth $2.3 billion lays off every worker

Sharing is Caring!

Cue Health has reached the end of the road. The San Diego-based medical tech company announced Monday that it’s laying off its entire staff.

The company once had 1,500 workers, thriving during the COVID-19 pandemic with sales of its test devices to Google, the NBA and the Department of Defense. But with far less demand for the testing, Cue’s fortunes have changed, and for more than a year the company has been slashing its staff. It announced a 230-worker cut in early May, halving Cue’s staff. Now the company is laying off its entire leadership team and every remaining U.S. employee effective Friday, according to a WARN filing on Monday.

“On May 24, 2024, the Company will be issuing final paychecks to all employees,” the filing, written by chief HR officer Allison Blackwell, said. Such filings are required in the event of mass layoffs; this one said Cue told workers about the scale of the layoff on Monday.
