Given that Eat Just (Hampton Creek) is long known for shoddy science, slippery ethics, and a hostile work environment (ref. https://www.businessinsider.com/hampton-creek-ceo-complaints-2015-7), maybe the layoffs are preemptive? In other words, if the company lays off its employees, it prevent them from whistle blowing. The person with whom you're connected at that company is a process development associate, so he actually helped them make food. Unlike PR chief Andrew Noyes, who doesn't understand what "harassing" means.

If the company was truly worried about that, no one would work there. But you're right that the company is laying off substantive employees, the second one I have seen in a similar role. Honestly I think they are just bleeding cash and are desperate.
