The majority of job cuts were in administrative and corporate operation positions, said Tina Wadhwa, a spokeswoman for San Francisco-based Generate. Dozens of people were impacted, according to a person familiar with the matter. The company declined to comment on the number of layoffs and said it currently employs 200.
