Boston Metal has temporarily delayed layoffs for 71 workers. The job cuts at its Woburn facility were originally set for March 14. New funding allows the company to retain employees until April 21. An accident at its Brazil plant caused a financial setback. The Woburn layoffs are expected to be permanent.

Boston Public Schools Halts Hiring Over Budget Gap
Boston Public Schools projects a $53 million budget shortfall. The district initiated a partial freeze on new hires. It impacts positions in schools and the Central Office. Three schools are closing, and up to 400 educator jobs could be cut next year. Rising expenses and expired federal pandemic aid cause the deficit.

I know a few people that were recently let go in Boston. Rumored be part of the initial phase of the Lake Mary relocation (they relayed to their manager that they had no interest in moving to Florida and that feedback was cascaded up).
All of them here 10+ years.
3 or 4 years ago they would have been given 6+ months. I think the maximum used to be 52 weeks.
I am hearing they each received full pay to the end of the pay period plus another 4 weeks.
Is this the new policy? Is a quality severance for people with 20+ years officially now gone? Has anyone heard of anyone let go in the last few months that was given a more substantial package?
Stan McLaren, CEO of Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program, resigned in mid-December. His departure followed internal dissent over staff layoffs and mission concerns. The nonprofit laid off 25 people and closed a 20-bed medical respite facility. These actions were taken as the organization faces significant Medicaid funding cuts. Dr. Denise De Las Nueces, the chief medical officer, is now serving as interim CEO.

Boston, Massachusetts
Will be announced to all employees in Spring 2026.
Boston employees currently working in the 80% in office model will be offered a stipend to relocate.
There are many Boston based employees that still have no in office requirement and that will remain indefinitely (meaning they will stay remote). as they fall under the “run the business” header.
Did most employees in Boston get laid off?
I happen to be watching the Maple Leafs / Bruins game. Shell seems to be a sponsor as there is a very large Shell pectin on the ice. What is Shell’s tie to Boston (unless it’s just retail stations)?
AirSlate, which became a so-called "unicorn" in 2022 and in 2023 had about 80 employees in Boston, is laying off people across its offices globally.
