Nordson layoffs - December 6th impact

0x7036…5650

Just saw the official WARN notice come through for the Amherst/Lorain facility. 114 people getting cut right before the holidays on December 6th. It’s honestly getting hard to keep track of these headcount reductions at this point. I’ve been here for a few years and the atmosphere in the office is absolutely toxic—everyone is just waiting for the next email notification. Does anyone have visibility on whether this is strictly manufacturing or if they are cleaning house in the corporate support teams too? Seems like leadership is trying to make the quarterly numbers look better by trimming overhead instead of actually fixing the operational inefficiencies. If you’re affected by this, start archiving your personal stuff and updating your LinkedIn today. Don't wait for the official HR meeting to start looking for your next role. Good luck to everyone involved, this industry is brutal right now.

It is honestly sickening that leadership chose to drop this right before the holidays. I’ve heard from folks in the Amherst office that the layoffs are hitting corporate roles as well, not just manufacturing. They’ve been trimming middle management for months now, and the lack of transparency is fueling the toxic environment you’re describing. If you’re in an admin or support role, don't assume you're safe just because you aren't on the shop floor. Start updating your resume today, because it feels like they are just looking to slash the total headcount regardless of department.

I am so sorry you are going through this. The timing is absolutely brutal, but unfortunately, it sounds like the standard playbook they have been running all year. From what I’ve gathered, these cuts are definitely bleeding into corporate support functions, including HR and finance roles. When the culture shifts to everyone watching their inbox for bad news, it is impossible to be productive. Please look out for yourself and your mental health right now. No company is worth this level of stress, especially when they clearly do not prioritize the people who have been keeping them profitable for years.
