Hundreds of jobs are expected to be slashed, a report says. Jeff Bezos’ private space company Blue Origin is bracing for layoffs, just one month after launching a new rocket, according to a report. In the quarter-decade since its founding, the company has grown to 14,000 employees, according to the outlet. Dave Limp, CEO of Blue Origin, is expected to discuss the workforce changes at a Thursday all-hands meeting, the outlet reported.

At a conference in Washington, D.C. this week, Limp called the launch a “good first step,” noting that more work is on the horizon. “We have a lot of work to do ahead of us, and we have to get to a cadence where we’re flying very often, got to get the manufacturing to a higher cadence,” he said. “But it’s such a good first step to see it happen.”. Blue Origin has been hoping to increase the number of New Glenn flights, the outlet reported.
