I’m from Texas and I recently found out that upper leadership is getting with management and Regional Managers trying to figure out what positions are really needed within the clinic nurses and medical assistants, so I know cuts are for sure coming. So they would rather put more work on staff members, then hire another body. In my honest opinion, they are going to get rid of all the seasoned employees that are getting paid more so they can hire new hires and if you do get laid off, they’ll probably make you take the severance package lose all the years under your belt with the company and then re-hire you at zero years. I was unfortunately part of the first round of layoffs a few years ago and that was part of the package if you take the severance package, you lose all the years under your belt.

Any one knows whats the last date for Texas & Florida employees? I heard for NJ it’s 02/20 (3 months) due to WARN act.

I just logged in to end the waiting but I haven't received any and none of my coworkers received anything while I am pretty the team is impacted

did anyone in Texas(Irving) notification for layoff/survival?

Been hearing rumors through the grapevine of more RIFs at RFAB

Moving HQ to TX, tax incentives

PEGATRON is one of the chain suppliers for Dell and Apple and Samsung.

PEGATRON Corporation, a leading global provider of AI computing services, has acquired a 168,784-square-foot facility in Georgetown, Texas, marking its first manufacturing site in the United States. This development underscores Texas's prominence in tech and AI industries, with PEGATRON’s investment bolstering the state’s growing tech infrastructure.

The company, based in Taiwan, specializes in the design, manufacturing, and service of a variety of electronic products, including notebooks, smartphones, game consoles, and smart home devices. The new Georgetown facility will help PEGATRON better serve its U.S. customers with improved solutions and services.

The project was made possible through collaborative efforts by the City of Georgetown, Williamson County, Opportunity Austin, the Texas Economic Development & Tourism Office, and the Austin Regional Manufacturing Association. PEGATRON plans to invest at least $35 million in the facility and hire hundreds of employees, with an initial goal of hiring 100 within the first three years.

The facility, located at 610 Blue Springs Blvd., is set to begin construction by the end of 2025. Local leaders, including Georgetown Mayor Josh Schroeder and Williamson County Judge Steve Snell, have expressed enthusiasm over the long-term economic impact, particularly in terms of job creation and growth in the region’s high-tech manufacturing sector.

The project also involves performance-based economic development agreements, which will be reviewed by local officials to ensure the commitment to capital investments and job creation is met.

An increasing number of Taiwanese companies are establishing a presence in Austin-area suburbs like Hutto, Taylor, and Georgetown. As more foreign companies invest in the U.S. tech sector for its strong economic fundamentals, some, like MD, are hiring foreign workers to slash down costs.

Major layoffs

In Dallas, Texas IBM laid off the entire Cloud Platform Team (i.e., developers, software engineers, etc.), including the manager.

Has it started yet ????

There is still no listing for the upcoming COP lay-off on the TWC site. The list is obviously up to date because there are listings from the end of October. This is just one more reason why Texas su-ks and needs a complete overhaul from the top down. It is never for the people here with the current regime in power. Examples are:
support to take away women’s rights, minimizing employees rights, having Ten Commandments posted in public schools, not being able to bring citizen referendums to the polls, and playing political games with national guard just to lick the boots of the mo--n leading this country. We should never go as far as California but there is something in between Texas and California that works better than the current situation.

Wellmed - Optum / North Texas Team. 60 people let go at once!

They laid off half the staff here this morning. The rest of us have our meeting at noon. And already laid off two clinics fully this am at 7.

Interested in the gulf coast area- Texas/ Louisiana

Why have there been no WARN notices in TX or CA from the 2H selection event? Did we not lay off enough people to trigger a WARN notice in the US?

With continuing structural cost savings, what is the predicted future of our Spring Campus?

Creative Testing Solutions, the largest nonprofit blood donor testing lab company in the U.S., notified the Texas Workforce Commission that it will permanently close its facility at 4401 Freidrich Lane and lay off all employees at the site by Dec. 12. The positions range from managers and supervisors to testing technologists and trainers.

I stand to get 21 weeks and am most likely on the chopping block. Am i eligible to receive unemp benefits from day 1? Texas only counts after the 'period of coverage of the severence pay'. But the verbage at:
https://efte.twc.texas.gov/release_waiver_agreements.html
""2.Incentive money, i.e., money paid to secure an employee's agreement not to file claims or lawsuits, is not regarded as severance pay for unemployment claim purposes and will not affect unemployment benefits if it is paid to obtain a release or waiver of liability from the departing employee with regard to the Civil Rights Act of 1991, or to settle a claim or lawsuit that has already been filed, or in connection with a written contract that was negotiated between the employer and employee prior to the date of the work separation.""

#2 seems to indicate that in our case , the 'Enhanced lumpsum' we receive seems to be more of a 'I wont sue you for this money' so does not count as severance money or the sake of unemp benfs?

I heard a rumor that Chevron is going to secure office space in Cypress. Has anyone else heard that? I’d like to know if that’s true before I relocate.

Tomorrow is Monday and a very important week at JRC. A PGL told me that layoffs will take place Thursday and Friday. If you work in FE/RXT and SP, get ready. You won't have a job next Monday. Serious business. Don't dismiss this.

Don't say you weren't warned b

I work in the BU in Dallas and last week we had hundreds of people laid off but I haven’t seen any exact numbers or big news outlets talking about this at all… I feel like this was a very dramatic cut but I’m confused why the media isn’t talking about that and instead they’re talking about the much smaller December layoffs…

• DSTV Inc. - 169 layoffs in Irving tied to State Department visa pre-processing, some may be rehired by USCIS.
• Texas Instruments - 163 layoffs at Dallas plant, 150mm production line closing by April 30.
• Seatrium AmFELS - 91 layoffs in Brownsville as company sells yard for $65 million.
• Urban Alchemy - 99 layoffs in Austin after city ended contract with the nonprofit.

Any word on layoffs in Texas? Been hearing rumors of another round in October especially in the woodlands location.

3 directors laid off in TX (to my knowledge.) What's the overall status, and what areas of Medicaid are to be affected? Executing layoffs during IL RFP is just a poor move.

Layoffs on Sept 24th and 25th so far. More layoffs appear to be expected.

Is it the usual deal, or have there been any changes?

Can anyone clarify the current situation and schedule for Imperial’s Sarnia research facilities? I had heard they were being shuttered and relocated to Texas, but more recently I’ve seen that fewer than 100 personnel may be affected, with changes phased in through 2028.

Does anyone have factual updates or confirmation on what’s actually happening?

Another slew of mass layoffs is set to hit a logistics services company, as Texas continues to brace for job losses amid a weakening economy.

Accelore Group, LLC announced plans to eliminate 107 positions in Tarrant County and 107 positions in Dallas County, according to new reports filed under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act.

The layoffs will take place at the company's Amazon Logistics locations in Fort Worth and Balch Springs.

Any Houston layoffs 2025?

I recently started working in Midland and have been amazed by how upset and demoralized everyone is. Seems like each group sees the other group as their enemy. Serious lack of harmony. Has it always been this way?

Confirmed some NY layoffs Sep last day! Tampa, TX update?

Hundreds of layoffs are coming to Houston as two major companies downsize their local operations.

CyraCom International, a remote interpretation provider recently acquired by Propio, will close its Houston facility and eliminate 355 jobs beginning December 1. The cuts include interpreters in Spanish, Vietnamese, Portuguese, Arabic and several other languages. CyraCom’s Arizona office will also see about 500 jobs cut as part of the restructuring.

Essendant Management Services, a distribution company, has also announced plans to cut 92 jobs in Houston this November due to business downsizing.

These announcements come after recent WARN Act filings revealed nearly 1,900 layoffs statewide from August through October, with Houston shouldering most of the impact. Both CyraCom and Essendant have not yet provided further comment.
