Merck is axing jobs but others are hiring! Check it out! (Isn't it tempting?)

Merck & Co has announced plans to shutter a plant in Ireland by the end of 2017 which will affect 570 staff.

The drugs giant, known as MSD outside the USA, says the closure of the facility in Swords, Co Dublin, is the result of an ongoing review of its worldwide manufacturing capabilities "that has resulted in sites being sold, closed or consolidated in all regions." About 130 people are expected to leave in the second half of 2014 with the remaining posts being phased out over the following three years.
