S.F. tech manufacturer Tempo Automation lays off 54 following collapse of merger talks

S.F. tech manufacturer Tempo Automation lays off 54 following collapse of merger talks

Weeks after its attempted SPAC merger fell apart, one of the Bay Area's largest manufacturers, Tempo Automation Inc., plans to lay off 54 employees at its San Francisco headquarters and production plant.

The job cuts will commence Aug. 19, per the recent mass layoff notice filed this week with the state. It's unclear if the cuts impact all employees at Tempo's Design District work site or if the company intends to vacate its large industrial space, which spans 42,000 square feet at 2450 and 2460 Alameda St.

Tempo Automation CEO Joy Weiss and other representatives did not return requests for comment on Tuesday, but I'll update this story if I hear back.

The impacted employees span a wide range of responsibilities and include the company's chief product and chief manufacturing officers as well as more than a dozen senior or director-level roles
