Tampa office closing, 150 jobs cut after tech company sold

CyraCom International, an Arizona company that provides interpretation and translation services for organizations, is cutting 150 jobs in Tampa just weeks after being bought.

The company, in a notification to the state to meet federal Worker Adjustment Retraining and Notification requirements, says the layoffs will begin Nov. 1 with 140 people losing their jobs. A second wave will begin Dec. 1.

CyraCom, which provided the state a list with bullet points rather than the traditional letter, says it is cutting the jobs because its local office is closing due to company restructuring.
