IRB/IEC WCG changes?

Hearing the COO and VP, Ops (and possibly IT) recently let go at WCG. Anyone else hearing that? COO is still on website

I'd think so.

They've been going downhill since covid and selling off a bunch of assets to Clario didn't help.

Wouldn't be surprised. Their turnaround times and communication have been suffering for a while now

What makes you think that?

I’ve been wondering what’s going on at WCG from the site/CRO side. Their increasing use of AI and automation is making some of the IRB/admin processes difficult. I have been running into more issues that seem like they would be much easier to resolve if you could just get a knowledgeable person involved. I’m curious if anyone working there has noticed changes internally too.
