AM I NEXT? NO LOVE AT SYNOPSYS

Sunnyvale, California-based Synopsys, a supplier of tools and services to the semiconductor design and manufacturing industry, is continuing its pre-planned, multi-year restructuring after acquiring Canonsburg, Pennsylvania-based Ansys.

The reduction in force will impact 128 jobs from its Sunnyvale campus on December 16, 2026, primarily in engineering and research and development teams.

A company spokesperson reiterated a previous statement, “We are taking a number of targeted steps to improve our efficiency to scale the business, accelerate our strategy, and capitalize on the highest-growth opportunities. These initiatives will reduce our global workforce over the course of fiscal year 2026. We do not take these measures lightly and are committed to treating impacted employees with respect and providing support through the transition.”

Change is constant, and it is coming. Tomorrow will always come, no matter how much you try to ignore it. Life offers no guarantees, and no promises of 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, at any time, 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 wondering, "Am I next"?

AM I NEXT? NO LOVE AT NEW AMERICAN FUNDING

Tustin, California-based New American Funding, a residential mortgage originator focused mainly on minority communities, has announced it will continue its cost-cutting initiative.

The reduction in force impacts 160 employees in its consumer direct division.

According to a company spokesperson, “The mortgage market continues to face headwinds, and we are navigating this environment thoughtfully and responsibly. As part of that effort, we have aligned our operations to reflect current market realities. These decisions are never easy, and we do not make them lightly. We are deeply grateful for the contributions of every team member affected.”

AM I NEXT? NO LOVE AT CROTHALL HEALTHCARE

Wayne, Pennsylvania-based Crothall Healthcare, a third-party provider of environmental and janitorial services to the healthcare industry, has announced it will conduct a reduction in force after its VCU Health contract expires.

The reduction will impact 545 employees at VCU Health facilities in Richmond, Virginia. The decision stems from the client's transition to another housekeeping vendor, HHS Environmental Services.

According to a spokesperson, “Our environmental services (EVS) contract with VCU Health is ending, effective October 31, 2026. We have been honored to serve patients, clinical caregivers, and guests at VCU Health over the last six years, and we will be working closely with hospital leadership to ensure this transition is as smooth as possible."
