I was notified today. People should not be surprised because they are like most other companies and really focused on AI efficiencies.
It never hurts to keep your resume updated and casually look even if not affected. It usually takes a couple of months to start getting good calls about jobs. Be hopeful that you will not be but start preparing as if you will.be one day.
Impacts are coming - they have somewhat quietly been sending jobs to Costa Rica, where the cost savings is around 55% of having employees there vs in St Louis, etc - US based. Now the latest was on Friday, a business unit has to document what they do and how they do it, including producing self videos of their jobs as they do it. Of course, that is smart - how do you get a new workforce trained without telling the current employee you are training your replacement? By producing training videos of course. Missouri does have to follow the federal WARN act requirements, but they can bypass that legality by laying off less than 50 people at a time. The Missouri WARN ACT filing data base is located at https://jobs.mo.gov/warn/2026
It is wise to check it frequently, because a report with MO might be filed ahead of the 60 day notice required to employees if 50 or more are impacted. But as I said, they can bypass this legality by doing it in small "dribbles" in order to prevent a panic among existing employees.
@35r When was STL notified? Last day?
It's sad to hear about those who were laid off. Not sure about the other locations but STL was hit pretty hard.
