AM I NEXT? NO LOVE AT NASDAQ

New York, New York-based Nasdaq, a premier stock trading exchange, has announced major organizational changes as it repositions itself as a technology firm and integrates recently acquired financial software provider Adenza into its business.

As with most acquisitions, Nasdaq will attempt to reduce redundancies, consolidate functions, and streamline operations.

The reorganization will impact several hundred employees as it combines Adenza's London, England, and New York, New York offices into existing Nasdaq facilities.

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 bad 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. Are you now wondering, Am I Next?
