Tickmill, Blockchain.com, Global Payments and Other Four Companies Are Hiring Now

Job cuts are sweeping across the global economy as corporations purge their payrolls for the coming year. ake the United States, for example, since the beginning of December, tens of thousands of workers employed in manufacturing, tech, entertainment, finance, retail and other industries have received layoff notices as a holiday gift from their employers.

In addition to sending layoff notices, some companies have adopted actions to force employees to "voluntarily" resign. This week, CITIGROUP revealed that it is offering to pay some staffers a portion of their bonuses early if they agree to voluntarily depart as executives continue with their restructuring of the Wall Street giant.

Futhermore, Ernst & Young (EY) layoffs are in the news Wednesday after the accounting firm announced a huge number of job cuts. The company has announced that it is cutting workers in its consulting and strategy and transactions divisions. That will see the EY layoffs affect a total of 130 workers at the company.

Given the state of the broader economy, the current employment environment is far from ideal.
