RUMOR: Is Canon USA Hiding Layoffs? Virginia Workforce Quietly Shrinks by 8.8%.

toner · 2025-07-15T11:42:55-04:00

According to posts on employee forums TheLayoff.com (see below), Canon USA has allegedly reduced its headcount by 8.8% over the past year at its Virginia operations—without public announcements or traditional mass layoffs. Layoffs by Another Name? Insiders claim the company used a series of "mini layoffs" disguised as performance-related terminations or non-renewals. While not formally classified as a layoff, the cumulative effect reportedly resulted in a nearly 9% reduction in staff across various departments. The approach appears to have avoided press attention and sidestepped legal thresholds that would trigger public layoff disclosures. A quiet reduction in workforce suggests internal cost-cutting amid shifting priorities in printing, imaging, and office equipment, especially as Canon navigates a post-pandemic business landscape. As of now, Canon USA has not made any public statements confirming or denying the claims. The company’s Virginia site remains operational.
