For those recently laid off: did your displacement packet include the standard disclosure showing the ages of everyone in your group who was laid off? I was laid off a few years ago and received it. This layoff I did not. Does this mean I was the only one in my group that was displaced?

@d4 OWBPA is required to list reasons and they could be location, performance, skills, etc.
With this bunch of crooks? I wouldn't put it past them that the numbers they show are fabricated. ZERO trust of this regime.
@d4 I guarantee performance will not be listed and that layoffs are not based on performance only. Never got worse than a meets and got laid off. Tons of other examples too
Posting everyone's age seems to be discrimination ageism obviously. So it is true.
@d4 yours listed performance as the reason for your layoff?
yes and performance is usually listed as the deciding factor. not saying it's true but they are also required to list why
@OP Mine had it as well as everyone else in all the affected locations. Goes 3-4 pages.
@as I am over 40.
Yes, and sadly during my 60-day non-working period I saw my same job posted, but only as a level 1 instead of as a Sr….and at the same 3 sites where me and my peers were laid-off from…kind of surreal and sickening…and btw,
99% of the ppl on that report were also 40+

@a1 are you under 40? That’s likely why.
@a1 were you the only one in your group displaced? I'm wondering if that is why we didn't get it.
Yes - got the obvious ageism report. 99% over 40.
@OP I requested it because it wasn't in mine but was in my coworkers
