About

Coherent, a manufacturer of high-tech lasers and optical equipment, is laying off 108 employees at its Finisar subsidiary in Fremont, California, as part of a restructuring effort. The job cuts, which are permanent and scheduled for May 15, 2023, are attributed to weakening business conditions and a decline in demand, prompting the company to reduce operational costs. This move reflects broader layoffs within the tech sector, where Bay Area companies have announced over 23,000 job eliminations since mid-2022. The affected employees were notified in March 2023.
