#60daynotice

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

Any info on the recent layoffs?

If I start a new job with another company during my 60 day non working notice do I forfeit my severance? What is citi’s policy on this?

Cree Lighting is shutting down its Racine, Wisconsin manufacturing operation. The company eliminated 172 positions, with separations starting immediately on March 12. This closure ends all manufacturing activities at the Racine site. Limited business functions, like R&D and sales, will continue there. Cree Lighting cited a "faltering company" exception for not providing 60-day layoff notice.

Guys, there are plans to layoff ‘x’ amount every single quarter. It may be all at the start of the Q or it may be spread out per month. Either way, each quarter is slated to let go a certain amount of people.

I’d love to tell you to breathe a sigh of relief but this will continue for the rest of the year.
Letting go 1000 in one day or spread out over a few months is still 1000 people let go. So don’t think just because its just a handful here and there that its all slowing down.

Layoffs will continue for the rest of this entire year.

did anyone receive layoff notice today contractors or Full timers?

A WARN was issued Jan 1 2026 for layoffs on March 16 2026 https://www.warntracker.com/?company=ukg

I've heard that layoffs may start soon, especially with anyone on bench for more than two weeks. What are people seeing and hearing?

March is odd timing to communicate as well.

Citibank (Citi) has filed WARN notices in New Jersey regarding layoffs affecting 141 employees in early 2026, with separations occurring between May 21 and June 14, 2026, as part of a broader restructuring and AI automation strategy.

Locations: Primarily impacted in New Jersey, including positions in Jersey City.

I just heard 2nd hand from top brass that layoffs are coming and very soon. Be prepared.

Anyone know when the round is coming that James spoke of in the all hands , he said "we still have 150 million to go to right size the company "

Does he mean in fy 26 or fy 27? Will they wait for the new CEO to do it ?

Yes — **Verizon Communications has WARN Act filings listed for 2026 at its Basking Ridge, New Jersey location. Public state WARN tracking data shows two separate notices for that location in 2026 — one in February 2026 and another dated November 1, 2026 — both affecting around 1,319 employees. 

Here’s what that means:
• Yes, they filed a WARN Act notice in 2026 for Basking Ridge.
• These filings indicate planned workforce reductions that the company notified to the state.
• WARN notices give advance notice (typically 60 days) before large layoffs are carried out. 

So the answer is yes — Verizon has WARN Act filings in 2026 for that office. 

If you want more details on what a WARN filing entails for employees (notice period, benefits, etc.), I can explain that too.

Anyone heard of layoffs coming this quarter? It was this time last year when we had the last big round so fingers crossed it isn't happening this year on the same scale.

AOL, the New York-based web portal and email provider, expects to lay off 108 employees connected to its Reston office at 11955 Democracy Drive, a notice sent to the state Feb. 17 stated.

Who's going to confess to being the joker who asked if we can have a MORE flexible 60/40 policy....

Or better still the one who asked if they should include their commute on their timesheet.

What a real win for Jane. Citibank cuts staff for raises to the top executives. No one knows including the entire department. You just vanish after 10 years and they say nothing. While Jane received a $41 million dollar pay day.

I certainly let go of all my 200+ shares in the company. This is not progress or innovation this is pure theft. I see top executives are selling very quickly. To the management shame on you!

You couldn’t even give a hint of notice saying anything. Not even a 60 day notice prior to letting us go. A tap on the shoulder and say hey you’re going to be laid off after a decade of work. When the stock falls to nothing no one will be shocked.

Carnage across Tech and Controls teams this week. It’s like a turkey shoot. Sites hit hard New York, Jersey, Tampa and telecommuters. Folk are getting an hour’s notice of the call and their system access is cut at the end. No ifs and no buts just a quick 15 minutes goodbye and good luck.

So, 61 employees in Poland. How about other sites?

In the 2 months displacement notice period, it says it is non-working. Does that also mean we can't work for another company?

Is tomorrow really happening? Anyone know what depts may be on the chopping block? I know it might be inevitable, but w/ my wife's cancer treatment it's even more stressful.

TX area. Meeting was scheduled hour in advance.
