Did Epsilon just go through a round of layoffs ?

Was laid off in Sept. Unfortunately we will be seeing many more coming. It's what happens in a recession. Unfortunately I now also have my age against me. Not in a mentally good place at the moment.

Must be located in Austin, Texas or fully remote.

Now, with a loss of pay , we are going to make less. Do you think I will be eligible for Loan forgiveness?
