This is an interesting site.
I guess this is especially useful for employees in tech. That way they don’t waste time applying for ghost jobs. If a company just did mass layoffs they’re not hiring, they’re lying.

This is horrific. Pixel, Android, Chrome are tangible products that, if anything, deserve more polishing and development.
Google is instead devesting from them in favor of an even more inflated AI play that doesn't actually deliver the same real value to customers/consumers, if any. But at unsustainable resource costs.
We're fucking up our world on fucking purpose and intentionally. Virtue signaling to investors ... What, exactly?
With Musk’s trusted friend and fixer #Antonio #Gracias at the helm, the task force marks a significant expansion of DOGE’s portfolio
— from primarily working on agency-wide #layoffs to executing the president’s most hardline #immigration policies.
It’s also a test for how far DOGE’s reach can extend.
Key DOGE engineers now embedded at DHS include Kyle #Schutt, Edward #Coristine, (aka “Big Balls”) and Mark #Elez, according to their government email addresses.
At least two others, Aram #Moghaddassi and Payton #Rehling also have access to DHS data, as DOGE fingerprints are spread throughout DHS,
including Customs and Border Protection, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure and Security Agency.
They are providing the technical infrastructure for a sweeping set of actions aimed at revoking parole, terminating visas, and later on, reengineering the asylum adjudication process, according to the officials.
Their first mission: 
implement parole terminations for 6,300 undocumented immigrants who either have criminal records or are on the FBI’s terrorist watchlist.
That effort required coordinating with the Social Security Administration to have their Social Security numbers effectively canceled by adding them to a database that tracks dead people, the New York Times and the Washington Post first reported.
Their theory is that without effective Social Security numbers – needed for bank accounts and loans, among other things – these people would “self deport.”
Last week, the plan was finalized in a high-level White House meeting with DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, Gracias and other senior DOGE staffers and White House officials, two of the officials said.
In recent weeks, the Trump administration has moved aggressively in its effort to revoke parole, visas and temporary protected status for hundreds of thousands of immigrants and students,
many of whom were granted the ability to legally study and work in the United States in the short-term under Biden administration policies.
But what actually happens in the government’s IT systems to make sure that those people are eligible for deportation?
Who makes sure that that is reflected in the database?
That is where DOGE comes in
to comb through datasets at all relevant agencies and facilitate data-sharing between agencies
so the enforcement actions can be carried out systematically and at-scale, one of administration officials said.

Microsoft mulls more job cuts, this time focused on managers and non-coders, not just low performers, sources say
｢ Charlie Bell, Microsoft's security boss, brought this concept from Amazon, where he was a cloud pioneer. There, it's called the "builder ratio," and tracks the ratio of software engineers to "non-builders," such as program managers and project managers ｣

I really hope these folks can find jobs elsewhere.

What #NIH #Layoffs Mean for #Cancer Patients
In the rush of headlines about budgets and restructuring, it’s easy to miss what’s really at stake. But working in cancer innovation and advocacy: when we delay #science, we delay survival. When we dismantle #research infrastructure, people #die waiting. Thousands at #NIH and #HHS were laid off. These were the people running #clinicaltrials, developing new treatment strategies, and pushing promising therapies toward approval.

Seigerman also pointed to concerns over recent #layoffs at the #FDA, saying the worries were now compounded by the "real talk" of #pharma #tariffs.
#Europe & the #US have interconnected supply chains for #medicines. The United States depends on medicines partly produced in Europe that bring in hundreds of billions of dollars in revenue.
Trump is set to impose a 104% in levies on Chinese imports on Wed -already set to see #tariffs
by 34% as part of Trump’s “reciprocal” tariffs pkg +50% after CN didn’t back off its promise to impose 34% retaliatory tariffs on US goods by noon Tues adding: 84% in duties.
CN was America’s 2nd largest source of imports last yr, shipping: $439B worth of goods to the US. US: exported $144B to CN. Mutual tariffs threaten to hurt dom IDUs & result in #LAYOFFS.

The changes come a week after a supervisor in the tower was arrested & accused of punching another controller in the face over a minor dispute about work, & they follow efforts by the #FAA to reduce #stress among staff still grappling with January’s catastrophic midair collision of a passenger plane & a military helicopter.
Things are bad when…
3 air traffic control [#ATC] managers w/responsibility for Reagan National Airport [#DCA] have been pushed out of their roles in the wake of a #violent altercation in the tower, the #FAA confirmed Tues.
“We brought in a new DCA management team to ensure strong support for the workforce,” an FAA spox said in an email, using the three-letter airport code for the airport.

If other #carmakers make similar moves, the #economic impact could be severe, leading to higher #car #prices & widespread #layoffs. The #tariffs on #cars are among the first of several industry-specific levies that #Trump has in his sights & could offer early clues about how businesses will respond to his #trade policies, including whether they raise #prices or increase manufacturing in the US. Trump also wants to #tax the imports of #medicines & #ComputerChips.
#JaguarLandRover, based in Britain, said it would temporarily stop exporting its luxury cars to the US. #Stellantis idled factories in #Canada & #Mexico that make Chrysler & Jeep vehicles & laid off 900 US #workers who supplied those factories w/engines & other parts.
#Audi, the luxury division of #Volkswagen, also paused exports of cars to the #US from #Europe, telling dealers to sell whatever they still had on their lots.
What was #UAW thinking backing this plan?
#Trump’s 25% #tariffs on imported vehicles, which went into effect last week, are already sending tremors through the #AutoIndustry, prompting companies to stop shipping #cars to the #US, shut down factories in #Canada & #Mexico & lay off workers in #Michigan & other states.
