In an interview published Oct. 18, 2026, Torani CEO Melanie Dulbecco called layoffs a management choice and said her company has never conducted them, as U.S. job-cut announcements remained below 2025 levels through September. “I think layoffs are a choice,” Dulbecco said. U.S. employers announced 43,281 job cuts in September 2026, 18% fewer than in August and 20% fewer than in September 2025. From January through September, announcements totaled 573,195, down 39% from 946,426 in the same period of 2025. The figures count announced cuts, not confirmed completed job losses.
