#60daynotice

April 23rd is the confirmed date.

About 10% across the board and current job openings will close before layoff notifications are communicated.

Hearing rumors that the notice period has been reduced from 60 days to 30 days. No official update from Aramco on this however. Can anyone confirm? Has there been an official communication? Does it apply to all expats/Grade codes?

If this reflects a change to contract, doesn't this need to be communicated?

Are layoffs still happening this month?

Mass Layoff Befoe End of 2026

I think they will be announced by April 27-28. That would allow the layoffs to wrap up before the start of Q4 while also giving 60 days of notice under the California WARN Act. They did the same thing in 2023. Hang in there, everyone.

Does anyone know if layoffs coming this month? Groups or teams impacted??

How does the benefits work after the 60 day WARN period? Do you take COBRA for health insurance or by any chance do you get full benefits until your severance runs off? I.e. Citi contributes to your medical benefits until the end of the severance pay period
Thanks

It looks like the program I've been assigned to for the past 6 years is slowly being dismantled - there is no appetite to spend time & resources on risk reduction/mitigation strategies any more.

We're expecting to hear next week if the company is truly stepping away from our effort's goals. If that ends up being the decision, how long does our team have before we:

1. End up on the layoff list with HR
2. Actually get notified our positions have been eliminated?

If you are over 40 years old (in the US) you will have 21 days to evaluate the severance once it is presented you. Based on previous layoffs, it would appear Synopsys is paying at least 60 days of regular salary and benefits, in lieu of a WARN notice. It seems like this is case of gross incompetence combined with a lack of empathy on the part of the management.
OP: @a8+1kmdssyv8

Putting this info here so it doesn't get lost in replies. Apparently severance details come at a later date. Because why give people clarity when you can leave them hanging? Very inconsiderate.

Looking at the last 10 years worth of WARN notice layoff dates, here’s the most likely months Walmart will lay you off.

In the last 10 years Walmart layoff dates occurred in:

• [ ] January- 3 times
• [ ] February- 2 times
• [ ] March - 5 times
• [ ] April - 7 times
• [ ] May - 5 times
• [ ] June - 6 times
• [ ] July - 8 times
• [ ] August - 5 times
• [ ] September - 3 times
• [ ] October - 2 times
• [ ] November - 1 time
• [ ] December - 6 times
  As you can see, the six months from March to August seem to be the most prominent layoff dates
