Bristol Myers Squibb is letting go of more employees at its Lawrenceville, New Jersey, location, according to a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act notice for the state. This time, the pharma will part ways with 206 employees, with the terminations set to take effect from July 16 through Dec. 31.
This is the second time that layoffs have come to BMS’ Lawrenceville operations—in February, the pharma let go of 247 staff in the area. The company’s corporate headquarters is located in Lawrenceville, as is an R&D facility. It is unclear if both offices are affected by the ongoing cuts.
Lawrenceville also bore the brunt of BMS’ layoffs last year, with workforce reductions affecting 1,266 people total. WARN notices for the area in 2025 disclosed that 290 employees were booted in February, 516 in May, 68 in July, 282 in September and 110 in November. Effective dates for those cuts began last year, with some dates continuing into 2026.
