Basking Ridge cuts - anyone have the list?

Just saw the WARN notice for the 50 roles in Basking Ridge effective end of year. It’s always the same story—leadership talks about 'streamlining' while the workload just gets dumped on the remaining staff. I’ve been with the company for seven years and the morale is currently the lowest I’ve ever seen. We keep hearing about these 'retraining' initiatives for thousands of employees, but the actual headcount reduction seems to be happening in parallel anyway. Does anyone know if this is limited to the Basking Ridge site or if other hubs are getting the same memo this week? Trying to figure out if I should start prepping my resume now or wait until after the holidays. This constant drip-feed of layoffs is exhausting.

It is honestly exhausting watching the same cycle repeat every few quarters. They frame these cuts as 'optimizing operations' or 'strategic alignment,' but everyone on the ground knows it just means more work for those who survive the layoff. Seven years is a long time to stick it out, and you aren't imagining the drop in morale. At this point, the disconnect between executive-level talking points and the actual daily reality of the teams is wider than I have ever seen it. Don't hold your breath for transparency regarding the scope of these cuts; they rarely show their full hand until it is already a done deal.

Check the state labor department website if you want the official details on the WARN notices, though keep in mind they often try to keep the lists buried until the last possible second. It feels like the company is constantly pivoting toward some new buzzword while the core infrastructure just bleeds talent. I stopped trusting the retraining narrative years ago; it’s usually just a convenient cover for headcount reduction. If you have been there for seven years, you probably already know the drill: update your resume, stay quiet, and don't expect the workload to become manageable once the seats are empty.
