NJ WARN Notice. If Verizon lays off more than 50 people, they may be listed around 10/23.
But not sure if they have to be listed if they give employees 60 day notice. Nokia USA always gets away from being listed. Not sure how.

Starbucks filed a WARN notice saying 974 non-retail workers in Seattle and Kent will be laid off starting December 5, 2025, following last week’s disclosure of 338 statewide job cuts. It is unclear whether corporate or in-store roles are affected. The moves come as CEO Brian Niccol restructures to reverse a post-pandemic slump, with multiple Seattle closures including the Capitol Hill Reserve Roastery, which the company said shut for financial performance, not unionization.
Translation for locals and workers - nearly 1,000 jobs at risk in King County, timing locked by 60-day WARN rules, details on who is affected still pending. Watch for ripple effects in downtown and Kent warehousing and support operations, plus potential hiring freezes or transfers. If you are impacted, check the WA Employment Security Department’s WARN database, line up benefits and retraining options, and document timelines now.

Is it going to be WARN + Severance? given its a mass layoff.
TIAA's loss is Empower's gain.
TIAA filed letters to local and state officials last week under the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, or WARN Act, saying its latest 31 job cuts in Denver will begin Dec. 1. The round of layoffs will not include any positions at its Broomfield Data Center, at 11525 Main St., the company said.
The T. Brown Duckett mess continues.
We can't fit everyone at the Deerfield office but that's the point: Layoffs are inevitable and they want people to quit. Stick it out for your severance and WARN act pay.
Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act of 1988
There's nothing noted on the WARN Act tracker about Stifel layoffs. www(dot)warntracker(dot)com.
Does anyone know how they got around this?
Hi folks, if we accept a job within the 60 day WARN period and start, are we still eligible for severance?
A total of 163 people will be laid off on 12/12/125. I seen it on the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) website.
According to warntracker.com
Lists 50 positions that were in the tower downtown and their titles:

I'm sure some other state will be affected. Overall this is not good!

New York Amends WARN Act to Require Disclosure of AI-Related Layoffs

A company that specializes in the logistics surrounding medical equipment and products has filed official notices with Pennsylvania to reduce their work force in the coming days.
Owens & Minor Halyard, Inc, located at 500 Independence Avenue, Mechanicsburg, PA 17055, has filed a WARN notice with the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry.
https://tristatealert.com/cumberland-county-medical-distribution-center-to-layoff-75-jobs/
Over the past several months, it’s clear the company has been consistently laying off employees — roughly the same number each month, almost like clockwork. While leadership has publicly acknowledged these reductions, there are a few things don’t fully add up.
Where’s the WARN Notice? So far, I haven’t found any WARN notice filings from our company — at either the federal or state level. This is unusual given the scope and repetition of the layoffs.
Why WARN Notices Matter
• Transparency: WARN notices are public and include specific details (locations, job roles, counts). Avoiding this filing prevents employees from having a full understanding of what’s happening.
• Rights & Pay: If WARN rules apply and weren’t followed, affected employees may be legally entitled to back pay and benefits for the 60-day notice period.
• Legal Risk: Staggering layoffs to avoid crossing the 50-person threshold may seem clever on paper, but courts can still view it as part of a broader layoff plan. That’s risky — for the company and for us.
200 Employees Terminated Per Month — For Two Years
Internal data and broader reporting indicate that roughly 200 employees have been leaving the company every month for the last two years. That adds up to 4,800+ departures.
Some of this may be natural attrition — but this figure closely matches reports of involuntary terminations, suggesting it’s not just people quitting on their own.
Additionally, the company rolled out a voluntary severance program — which about 600 employees accepted — under conditions that felt like “quit now or risk being laid off later.”
Meanwhile, many departments have been offshored, with knowledge transfer efforts happening in parallel.
What the DOL and Courts Say About “Voluntary” Severance
According to the U.S. Department of Labor:
“Voluntary departures, retirements, or resignations generally do not count, unless the employee departure is caused by the employer and qualifies as an employment loss.”
Source: DOL WARM Act FAQ
Regulations: 20 CFR: 693.3(f)
So if it was implied that employees were to “Take the package now or be on the next layoff list,”
That may legally count as a layoff, not a voluntary exit. And if those numbers weren’t included in WARN reporting? That’s a serious issue.
Staggered Layoffs = WARN Evasion?
Federal law also explicitly prohibits breaking up layoffs to avoid WARN thresholds. According to 20 CFR § 639.5(a)(2):
“An employer may not evade the purpose of the Act by staggering terminations… if they are part of a common layoff plan.”
If 200 employees are being terminated monthly — even across departments or locations — and no WARN notices are being filed, that strongly suggests a strategy designed to stay just under the legal reporting threshold.
For Reporters or Watchdogs Monitoring This Forum:
How has no one picked up this story?!?
This situation potentially involves:
• Thousands of U.S. terminations over 24 months
• A “voluntary” severance program used to disguise layoffs
• No public WARN filings (despite the scale)
• A clear pattern of offshoring and workforce consolidation
• Potential WARN Act non-compliance through structuring and timing.
• Oh and don’t forget the philanthropic award the company won a few years ago for committing to increasing local jobs in St.Louis by 10%.
Did anyone else get the Warn notice and then HR trying to claw back the email.
Forced to give me 90 days warn
I got job starting week after warn ended
You built policy saying no 401K match or bonus due to effective dates. Lol
Now you get to eat my 30 weeks of severance
Your dirty policies failed. Nice try no cigar.
Need some help. I was part of the RIF earlier this month. Given WARN, my last day is Nov 3. However, I got the equipment return box this week. Am I supposed to return the equipment now (within 5 days) or wait until Nov 3rd ? I have no use for the laptop but since I am still on the payroll (albeit garden leave) until Nov3 , I wasn’t sure if I should return things now.
Notice date was 8/15/25. 193 employees to be let go in October 2025. 22 more to be let go in May 2026.

Already started hitting HR and other areas. Likely won’t see WARN notices for another 30-90 days due to paid leaves given.
Are there many "remote" Oracle workers living in California who were laid off this month who only received 20-days advanced notice? Any chance you haven't signed the severance agreement?

Covered employers must provide written notice 60 calendar days in advance of a business closing or mass layoff or reduction in hours.
Employers generally are covered by the WBCML law if they employ 50 or more persons in the State of Wisconsin and Make a reduction in the workforce which affects at least 25% of the workforce or 25 employees, whichever is greater or at least 500 employees.
Two or more groups of employees who are affected during a 90-day period may be considered in aggregate when determining whether the business closing or mass layoff thresholds have been met.
Not sure if I'm looking at this right since they changed the format, but it looks like several new WARN notices were posted on 9/18 for various properties including 1515....
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.

Dave Watson announced elimination of division structure starting in January. Frontline divisional teammates will stick around, everything else is moving to HQ. Unsure if just residential or resi and CB. Regional roles will still exist. Crazy that they've gotten away without filing a warn notice since 2020.
In a WARN letter, the company said the closure is due to “difficult business conditions” and is aimed at enhancing operational efficiency. The facility, located on Sumner Court in Georgetown, is expected to shut down permanently.

ABU & USA Layoff Summary – Waves 1 & 2
ABU Wave 2
• EOI-Only Adjustments: Across ABU teams, Wave 2 changes were minimal < 1% of staff affected, and only through EOI.
USA Wave 2
• Team USA Impact: No specific percentage breakdown per team is publicly confirmed, but no major WARN filings or Layoff.com traffic suggests significant cuts in the U.S.
ABU Wave 1
• ABU FE CVX Staff: Changes were limited to EOIs and performance-based PMP reviews. No broad structural layoffs reported.
• ABU Contractors: Wave 1 ABU FE contractors saw virtually no layoffs, consistent with Chevron’s strategy to retain operational continuity.
• As expected, very limited ABU in execution MCP changes (JIC, CO2 etc.)
• ABU M&R Teams: Wave 1 Confirmed 100% out of scope. No layoffs or restructuring reported for Maintenance & Reliability functions, deferred to Waves 3 & 4 in 2026.
Ref.
Chevron (CVX): Targeting a 15–20% global headcount reduction by end of 2026, up to 9,000 roles. However, only ~200 layoffs confirmed in Midland, Texas for 2025.
Final Takeaways:
ABU layoffs remain highly targeted and minimal, especially in FE and contractor roles.
USA-based Chevron teams have seen limited disruption so far, with no major layoff spikes.
Layoff.com and WARNTracker show low traffic for CVX-related layoffs in the U.S., supporting the notion that most changes are internal and performance-based.
Please don’t post any BS, Winging or Gossip!
Any NEW ABU / USA Layoff FACTS Welcome!
We've been through a lot this year.
Lots of pockets and smaller waves.
It's paid off, they've managed to keep it under wraps this year.
Known Layoffs in 2025:
Not to mention the dozens of one-offs throughout the year.
Nike conducted several small layoffs in staggered batches.
Which must have all remained under the reporting threshold for each wave.
They strategically timed reductions to avoid hitting the “mass layoff” definition.
These are conservative and confirmed numbers impacted.
What other teams, domains or dates are missing from above?
I was not remote, but flex and had to go to the office 3 days a week and use a flex workspace. Would WARN apply in my case?
Curious if Chevron HR filed WARN notice this past Friday
For Hess, Chevron HR filed notice on Friday a week before the cut date - and held the “town halls” at Hess the following Tuesday - hours prior to the notice getting published by the state.
When questioned about what numbers were filed on the WARN notice, the town hall’s HR rep dodged the question and said “we aren’t disclosing those numbers at this time.”
Less than 24 hours later they were published by the state (Wednesday) and the employees ended up learning of the 575 / 830 cut through media outlets.
Is this standard operating procedure at CVX - to be too cowardly to talk straight with employees?
It certainly rubbed a lot of Hess employees the wrong way - the lack of professionalism/courteously, and the apparent cowardice displayed by HR in the town halls.
Does CVX have a pre-firing town hall scheduled for Tuesday this week?
The layoffs are connected to financial pressures.
The co is in the middle of store closures nationwide. Now it's reducing staff at its Hoffman Estates CORP facility in Illinois.
It's in a WARN
Date: October 2025 (4 workers) and December 2025 (2 workers)
Company: Total Facility Maintenance, Inc.
Date: September 30, 2025
This company is also letting go employees because it lost a contract. It’s located in Wood Dale, Illinois. This is part of a supplemental WARN notice. Total Facility Maintenance had reported layoffs last year as well (41 workers then) and now is planning further reductions.
Company: Diverse Facility Solutions, Inc.
The layoffs stem from the cancellation of its janitorial services contract with Chicago Public Schools. Though the WARN notice lists 276 workers being laid off, the company clarified it intends to lay off about 191 employees, transferring many others to a different union. There is also a legal concern: a law firm is investigating whether Diverse Facility Solutions met the required 60-day notice under the WARN Act before initiating the mass layoff. The company provides facility management and janitorial services.
