Bristol Myers to cut over 500 jobs as part of restructuring

6 May 2025

US pharma major Bristol Myers Squibb (NYSE: BMY) is set to lay off another 516 employees at its New Jersey, USA site, continuing a series of workforce reductions that have marked a sweeping restructuring campaign.

According to a state filing, the latest round of cuts will take place in stages from May this year through March 2026. The notification, posted under the state’s Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) system, lists 13 effective dates across that timeframe.

This follows multiple earlier job reductions at the same site, where the company had already let go of 67 employees in April, 223 more in June and August, and 195 toward the end of 2024.
