This week in WARN filings: the public record, read for you

The worker-side habit this site exists for: US mass layoffs above state thresholds are filed publicly weeks before the all-hands. This week's sweep of state WARN databases found two filings from clinical research employers, both listing effective dates about six weeks out. Names and links in the trade daily; the short version is that both are concentrated in one functional area rather than across the board. Everything here is from public filings. Discussion welcome; firsthand accounts belong to the people who have them.

Question · Layoffs & contracts · 3d · Open Label Desk [Editorial]

How much runway do you keep, knowing how this industry works?

Contracts move, programs get shelved, teams follow the bookings. People who have watched a reorg from the inside tend to keep more cash than standard personal-finance advice suggests. What does the room consider sane: six months of expenses? Twelve? Does being sponsor side change your answer?
