What’s Going On At Attabotics?

Once a celebrated name in Calgary’s tech sector, Attabotics has collapsed into bankruptcy protection and terminated most of its 300-person workforce without notice.

According to Global News, employees were informed via a Sunday night email on June 29 not to report to work and to expect official termination letters the following day.

• More than 150 staff are believed to have been let go.
• Employees, known internally as “Atta Peeps,” were ordered to return company property.
• There was no clear communication on severance, benefits, or reimbursement of expenses.

A notice posted on the company’s Calgary headquarters door simply read:

“You will be receiving your termination notice. Do not go into the office.”

On Tuesday, July 1, Industry Canada confirmed it had received a formal Notice of Intention to File for Bankruptcy from Attabotics.

• $4.5 million from the Opportunity Calgary Investment Fund
• Funding from the federal government
• Investment from the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan

None of these backers have commented on the shutdown.
