AM I NEXT? NO LOVE AT MITRE

McLean, Virginia-based MITRE Corporation, a not-for-profit organization that provides management, consulting, and other services to U.S. government agencies, has announced a reduction in force at its McLean offices.

The reduction in force will impact 442 employees with separations commencing on June 3, 2025.

It is believed that the reduction is linked to reduced federal funding of projects and agencies.

Change is coming. There will always be a tomorrow, no matter how much you may try to ignore it. There are no guarantees in life or promises for a bright future. We see good people being laid off through no fault of their own. Just because something terrible hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it won't. It can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere. No one is guaranteed to wake up tomorrow and still have a job by evening. While many employees can read the writing on the wall, why do most assume it’s targeted at someone else? Are you now wondering, Am I Next?

AM I NEXT? NO LOVE AT RTI INTERNATIONAL

Research Triangle Park, North Carolina-based RTI International, a nonprofit organization providing research and technical services to government and private organizations has announced another reduction in force attributable to changes in government funding.

The personnel realignment will impact 150 employees, including more than 80 in North Carolina.

A company spokesperson noted, "As we adapt to evolving federal priorities, additional workforce changes may be necessary in the coming weeks to ensure RTI's long-term stability and impact. We are committed to supporting both our departing and remaining staff during this transition. RTI remains focused on advancing technical solutions and data-driven research that contribute to a safer, stronger, and more prosperous nation and world."

According to published reports, "RTI International stands to lose millions through the Trump administration’s gutting of U.S. Agency for International Development and cuts to funding and grant reviews at the National Institutes of Health."

AM I NEXT? NO LOVE AT JSI RESEARCH & TRAINING INSTITUTE

Boston, Massachusetts-based, JSI Research & Training Institute, a global consulting organization dedicated to improving people’s lives around the world through greater health, education, and socioeconomic equity, has announced a 50% mass reduction in force.

The nonprofit plans to lay off 1,100 employees with the decision being driven by the Trump administration’s freeze on USAID funding.

According to a company spokesperson, “In this challenging moment, JSI remains committed to improving health and education in communities here in the U.S. and around the world.”
