At Least 204 More Pink Slips, at Rahway , NJ -- By Early 2026…

This is troubling, and doubly so, for the families that relied on Merck salaries to make their way, in New Jersey and beyond.

And I think this brings the total in the US this year, by Merck -- to over 6,330 eliminated positions. Here's the latest:

. . .Merck and Bristol Myers Squibb have announced additional layoffs at their New Jersey facilities as part of cost savings efforts.

Merck will let go of 204 employees in Rahway, which will take place from Feb. 20-May 11, 2026. . . .

Now you know. Onward -- to the snowy higher peaks (and radio silence! Heh.). . . .
