Biopharmaceutical companies have seen fewer layoffs in the first half of 2026 compared to the previous year. However, the total number of job cuts for the full year may still match 2025 levels. This outcome hinges on a significant increase in layoffs during the second half of the year. Mergers and acquisitions activity, which has risen substantially, could also contribute to future workforce reductions. The size of individual layoff rounds and the impact of M&A will be key factors in determining the year's final tally.

He promised strategic work, when reality is 80% data entry and 20% meeting notes. Should've asked better questions. I thought joining Synopsys would be a good move for my career. I sc--wed up so badly.

I don’t know about the others in this group but I believe they need to quit with the surveys and come on with the VSPs. Quit wasting our time so we can get on with our lives and figure out the next steps. Would these people want people ja--ing around about their jobs and wasting their time if it was them. He-l no. So come on with it and cut out the nonsense

Working at T-Mobile lately has been mentally exhausting.
With the layoffs, constant reorgs, leadership changes, and all the uncertainty around budgets, it's hard not to worry about job security. At the same time, the economy isn't exactly giving people confidence that finding another job would be easy.
I know I'm not the only one feeling this way. Most of us just want some stability and honest communication so we can focus on doing our jobs instead of wondering if we'll be part of the next announcement.

Need some ideas of places to apply because I keep applying on linkden and get rejection before anything only to keep getting notified of that same position with the same company . And i hate BNY now thanks to robin and the sh-t stains under him and need out asap

I hate this job and this company. I'd leave if I could, but the market is awful. The only silver lining is that layoffs happen all the time, so I might get out with severance eventually.

Right here in Texas is Sara Gonzales( @saragonzalesunfiltered ) of Blaze TV who is working tirelessly to show how American's are loosing their jobs to other resources and to raise awareness. Why no one has connected with her and told her about the erosion of American jobs from a very American company like Sabre?

Can someone help me. I applied to VP at Mastercard in Purchase NY. It's Marketing. The range listed on job description is $213,000 - $351,000 USD. I am assuming this is total compensation? What's the base for VP? Bonus I am told 32%.

I see loads of job openings online (linkedIn, Baker careers etc.) but notice that many have been open for months on end and keep being reposted or duplicated? Whats the deal? Theres no way we have that many actual vacancies from what I can tell. Why keep advertising these same jobs over and over but not filling them?

A lot of folks talk all the time about how they'd celebrate if they got cut, how they're not worried, and how they'd be relieved if it happened to them. But not one of them has actually handed in their notice since they started mentioning it. If leaving would be such a blessing, why are they still sitting at their desks every morning? If those who want out quit, the rest of us would have a better chance of keeping our jobs. It'd be a win, win, in my opinion.

Does anyone find that they really don’t care about their jobs or careers anymore. It just seems so small . it pays the bills etc but in the grand scheme of things all the politics attached to a paycheck job just seems so out of touch. With all that’s going on in the world this really does not seem to be how people should be living out their lives

Like others here most would like to keep their jobs, to not have to start all over again. Nobody wished for layoffs, firings, etc. There were many times since the layoffs started that I would pray for that Golden Tuesday after payday. One would post about here and hear the smug response, I'd like to keep my job. Well wouldn't any person working just to survive. Now like others around me, the staged mid years are going on and we're getting not meets. Not meets we're told means NO severance. Like they're saying, chase the new carrot. Improve by year end or get fired, no severance for you. The kicker is they've changed the formula used for evals, where you're going to be not meets no matter what you do. They've hired 1,000's of new hires. I guess they've filled the quotas of cheap labor in the Philippines. The new hire class should be hitting the floor we're told in Roanoke, VA in the near future. Seems like that's when the closing Richmond site, will start the firings and the layoffs. As for me, since the cushy keeping the job is not an option...I am praying for a Tuesday after payday displacement. I'm envious of those fortunate to have been laid off with the golden ticket and 60 day non-working period. In retrospect, what good did it do to stay waiting for severance?! They've made it a no win situation. The beatings will continue until morale improves. The firings will continue, and they're saying sc--w your morale...they just want you to F off.

Texas is investigating LinkedIn for allegedly advertising and profiting from fake job listings, referred to as "ghost jobs." Job seekers who paid for premium subscriptions may have been shown listings that were not legitimate opportunities. The state's attorney general is seeking documents and communications related to LinkedIn's advertising and verification practices. LinkedIn maintains that its job listings are authentic and accurately represented. This investigation has not yet resulted in formal charges.

I'm not in retail, but I see the job postings and every day there's 10+ postings with retail in the title. What is all the retail hiring if people are talking about massive retail layoff and store closures?

Well, the big kickoff is underwhelming.

I wasn't expecting an episode of the view right out of the gate. I would've expected this later this afternoon.

Good lord, we're such a woke, gynocentric mess. I gotta get outta here.

Wonder if I can get a useful gig like driving a truck.

One thing I’ve noticed in the leadership is the constant comparison to companies doing something worse.

Employees raise concerns about losing remote work after years of proving it can be successful.

Response: “Other banks require five days. We’re only asking for three.”

Employees worry about office consolidations.

Response: “Other banks only have two or three hubs. We have twenty-two.”

Employees express concerns about outsourcing or layoffs.

Response: “Other banks outsource more.” Or “Other banks have bigger layoffs.”

But that’s a strange way to measure success.

If your defense for a decision is, “Someone else is doing something even more unpopular,” you’re not actually addressing the concern. You’re just choosing a different point on the same spectrum.

It’s the corporate version of, “Sure, I set your house on fire, but my neighbor burned down the whole block.”

Being less bad than someone else isn’t the same thing as being good. I’d rather hear the actual business case, the data, and the reasoning than be told I should feel grateful because another company made an even harsher decision.

Two wrongs don’t make a right. They just create two different versions of the same problem.

A Rutgers University report forecasts sluggish economic growth for New Jersey over the next two years, predicting a rate below the national average. The state's job market is expected to weaken, with employment growth projected to slow significantly in 2026. While education and health services have driven recent job gains, other sectors have experienced declines. Population growth, largely fueled by international migration, is also anticipated to decrease. The report suggests New Jersey's unemployment rate will remain higher than the national figure.

I thought it was odd that the job listing is for either Berwyn, PA or NYC. We're looking at two completely different applicant pools there, and does this mean they've acquired a new PA office in Berwyn, or is this just the Archer office?

"We’re seeking a future team member for the role of Vice President, Full Stack Engineer to join our Managed Accounts Solutions Platform team. This role is located in Berwyn, PA or New York, NY."

I haven't heard anything new about Pennington or Wilmington office closures, but then, the way this place operates we probably won't hear anything until the last minute.

What do L4 managers (first line) even do? Honestly, most of them just show up to ranking meetings and focus on protecting their own spot. Then they run a few routine chit‑chat check‑ins with their direct reports, maybe take the team out for frozen yogurt once in a while. But seriously, what is it that they actually do?

If you get accept a position from a competitor, what do you do? Looking for legit advice. I have heard theyll shut down your access if you tell them. I am just not sure what to do and want to be prepared and consider my options.

Anyone who has gone through it have the pay? I've heard multiple things.

Department: Classified
Tenure: 4 years
Severance benefit: $45k
Enhanced severance benefit: $10k
Severance benefit (Bonus): 10% paid in full.
