Novo Nordisk Faces Multiple Challenges

The pharmaceutical giant is embroiled in a legal dispute with rival Eli Lilly over weight-loss dr-g advertising. Simultaneously, a new safety warning regarding optic nerve stroke has been added to the prescribing information for its semaglutide-based dr-gs. These issues compound recent disappointing trial results and significant workforce reductions. The company is also facing regulatory scrutiny at a manufacturing facility in Indiana. Despite these headwinds, Novo Nordisk has partnered with Amazon Web Services to enhance its digital capabilities.

Fired quant sues BNY Mellon, alleging age and disability bias

A quantitative analyst who spent more than two decades at BNY Mellon says the bank pushed him out because he was 58 and disabled.

The former vice president filed suit against The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation in Manhattan federal court on August 7, 2026, alleging that his 2023 termination violated federal age and disability law. According to the complaint, the case brings claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act.

The filing says the worker joined the bank in August 2001 as a senior quantitative analyst at age 36 and rose to vice president on the Markets Quantitative team. He contracted polio as a child, the complaint says, and has right-leg atrophy that limits his ability to stand for long stretches, climb stairs, and cross uneven ground, requiring him to walk with a cane. According to the filing, he disclosed the condition to a senior risk executive in late 2002 and signed a written agreement to work from home two days a week.

That arrangement loosened over time, the complaint says. It states that a later manager verbally approved one remote day a week, and that the worker moved to full-time remote work when the COVID-19 pandemic began.

The dispute, as the complaint tells it, began with the bank's return-to-office push. In early 2022, according to the filing, staff were told to come back in person. The worker - then 57 - asked to work from home four days a week. The complaint alleges his supervisor turned him down because it would be "too much trouble" for the bank, despite his having handled the full role remotely throughout the pandemic.

The request resurfaced, the filing says. After several colleagues resigned in early 2022, the worker took on new duties and, according to the complaint, received a retention bonus that April. When he asked again for four remote days, the complaint says, the supervisor agreed and told him no formal accommodation paperwork was necessary.

The complaint then lays out a run of setbacks. It says the worker was told he was not eligible for a promotion because the candidates had already been chosen. It says the bank brought two people in their early thirties onto the New York Markets team in October 2022. And it alleges that when the bank expanded into securities lending and financing, the worker offered to help but was passed over.

The bank ended his employment in 2023, according to the complaint, along with another worker over 40. The filing alleges the bank then hired younger, non-disabled replacements who did not need a remote-work accommodation.

Canadian severance

If you were laid off from Oracle in Ontario during the recent rounds: does anyone have recommendations for a good employment lawyer?

I’ve heard former colleagues are getting lowballed on their packages, so I want to get a professional review before signing anything.

Oracle is brutal -> I know a IC who just got laid off from Dell with 20+ years was offered 55 weeks and is still negotiating more with a lawyer, so I suspect there's room to push back.


NRE MLRP

Post here if you are NRE and have your Assessment feedback scheduled before August 15th. How close are you to retirement and what do you plan to do? Is this your first or second in 5 years? If your first and you have more than 1 year to go, is it worth it? Is it time to band together for a Class Action Lawsuit?

Can we file a Class Action Lawsuit against EchoStar?

Is there an avenue to file a class action lawsuit against EchoStar on behalf of all the affected since 2025? Something Charlie wouldn’t expect would be a smoking g-n, and hit him where it hurts: the spectrum money he has stashed?

Like, some ominous but effective case. Example: in this film The Firm, the whistleblower simply filed “wire fraud” as the case.

Let’s start the talk here. I believe these are the types of billionaires that are meant to fall from the sky. Charlie is a mean, egomaniacal person who enjoys rising above while watching people below him suffer.

Let’s align and discuss possibilities here.


Retiring vs Laid off?

Why do some announce they are retiring but you can tell it seems forced? Does upper leadership tell these people they are being laid off and then lie to everyone about the real reason? I have seen this in at least 4 people in the last year. At first I thought confidence but it doesn’t make sense, especially with departure date. Anyone have insight? How is it legal to let someone say they are retiring when they are really being laid off?


Union Condemns Microsoft's Layoff Tactics

CWA Canada is criticizing Microsoft's recent layoffs at Bethesda Game Studios Montreal. Approximately a dozen union members were terminated in a brief video call, denied the opportunity to ask questions. These employees will receive pay for eight weeks while staying home. This incident is part of a larger wave of 3,200 job cuts across Xbox. The union plans to pursue legal and contractual actions to defend its members.

NJ laid off employees - the WARN Act requires you get 90 days' notice if >50 laid off

This was mentioned obliquely in other posts, but I wanted to get it into the title of this post. The NJ WARN Act requires that certain employers (including Verizon) provide 90 days' notice of layoffs if the company is laying off 50 people or more. If Vz Wireless is laying off 50 or more in NJ, and you are a New Jersey employee laid off on June 16 and were told your last day is in August, they are in violation of the law and they have to give you until September 14 which is 90 days from June 16th.


**Mutual of America -- Labor Complaint !!** Shocking

In early Feb 2026, NYU Langone Hospitals sued Mutual of America's comprehensive health plan over a labor complaint. In 2021, an employee gave labor, and Mutual of America didn't pay the hospital over $22K for the health & care of the newborn baby.

the hospital was in the network but talks broke down & mutual would not budge. this created an extreme amout of anxiety & consternation for several parties.

The case hasn't been dismissed yet so it appears settlement talks are underway.


Judge Denies Meta Workers' Layoff Halt Bid

A U.S. judge has refused to stop Meta Platforms from proceeding with layoffs affecting 26 employees. These workers claim the company used AI tools to unfairly target them for job cuts due to disabilities or medical leave. The judge stated the employees did not demonstrate irreparable harm to warrant an emergency injunction. Meta denies wrongdoing and asserts human decision-making in the layoff process. The company is in the midst of reducing its global workforce by approximately 10%.

Carlex Glass America Faces WARN Act Inquiry

A law firm is investigating Carlex Glass America for a potential violation of the WARN Act. The company recently conducted a mass layoff of 325 employees in Vonore, Tennessee. This federal law requires employers to provide 60 days' notice before such actions. The investigation will determine if Carlex provided adequate notice to affected workers.

NC Budget Slashes Legal Aid Funding

North Carolina's new state budget significantly cuts and restricts funding for Legal Aid services. Lawmakers are diverting money historically allocated to Legal Aid towards public defender offices. This follows a previous funding freeze that already caused layoffs and rural office closures for Legal Aid. The new budget also imposes restrictions on the types of cases Legal Aid can handle. These changes will negatively impact vulnerable residents needing legal assistance.

Federal Court Halts CFPB Remote Worker Cuts

A federal judge has issued an injunction preventing the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau from proceeding with layoffs. These layoffs specifically targeted employees working remotely or in telework arrangements. The injunction was granted following a lawsuit filed by affected workers. The court's decision temporarily halts the agency's plan to bring these employees back to Washington D.C. or terminate their employment. Further legal proceedings will determine the ultimate outcome for these CFPB staff members.

Age distinction in layoffs

Not really sure why, but did anyone else get one version of the layoff document to sign only to get another on the 9th? The latter added extensive language for preventing lawsuits, client interaction, bad-mouthing company, etc. What I would expect in this kind of doc, But it was what came after that I've never seen. It was a listing (not by name) but by position the people who were laid off and their Age. Not sure if they're daring someone to try and build a class action or bravado. Was I the only one who got the list? The way it breaks down:
Age Count
20-29 21
30-39 43
40-49 78
50-59 121
60-69 119
70-79 14

Listed another way
Those under 40 make up 16% of those laid off
40+ (a protected class) is at a whopping 84%

I don't know if it's enough for a suit, but it sure seems suspect in terms of their methodology in selecting individual.


LP's Golden Parachute Expires on 12/31/26

https://investors.xerox.com/static-files/101bb5f2-18b8-4db1-897e-52c1c92a3bc7

So, LP has a golden parachute, that pays out for 24 months, or in one lump sum, at 2x his annual salary. This expires on 12/31/26 if there has not been a "Change in Control" of the company (i.e., CH 11).

CH11 before 12/31/26 = LP get 2x salary lump sum and a yet undetermined bonus.
CH11 after 12/31/26 = LP gets nothing.

Maybe there is a filing where they extended that date? If there is one, please share a link, but as this stands, LP can (will) get a multi-million dollar payout if this all goes bust before 2027.

Bonus: This was filed years ago, so it will probably hold up in court. The one they filed on 7/2/26? Not so much...


Lawyer Up:

I have been in a legally protected status, but now theyre after my job. been in this place for 5 years and this is what they do. if you tote work life balance, where is the example. hikes are dismall, childcare is so darn expensive and if you make changes according to the employee handbook, they decide to drop you with a hot potato.. new parents be damned! product and innnovation group and digital assets is a horrible place. stay away. ive gotten a lawyer


Former Employees Dispute Entourage Health Severance

Former employees of Entourage Health are alleging that the company failed to provide legally mandated entitlements following approximately 53 layoffs. These workers claim they received only two weeks' pay, despite many having years of service. They are questioning whether termination pay, severance, and notice requirements under Ontario employment law were met. The company, which filed for creditor protection, disputes that the layoffs constituted a mass termination. Affected staff have filed complaints with the Ministry of Labour and are seeking legal counsel.
