Nikon USA recently had layoffs that mainly impacted NPS staff (Nikon Professional Services). I do not know the exact number of laid-off employees, but I was told it was “significant”.
Update #1: it seems that the NPS layoffs happened also in Canada.
Update #2: Nikon laid off most of NPS this week as well as people in the marketing department combined with some forced retirements. More than half of NPS is gone leaving only 5 staff in the field as opposed to 14 two years ago.
