#relocation

How can anyone can view Fujifilm's move from its beautiful Graphics Innovation Hub in Hanover Park to a much smaller office in Schaumburg as positive news?

Got the notice that i have to relocate but the distance so i am a qualifying event which contains displacement/severance. Question is when i decline continued employment about how long does it take to get the displacement letter from the time i am suppose to report to the new location?

Where is the weekly post from the employee who seems to always have insider information on virtuals and their relocation notices.

So much for Corporate Separateness when the Imperial crude oil trader role moves to Spring. What BS

Heard through the grapevine that there may be a tenet for South tower and with that most people would move to North, with labs moving to Alpharetta or some such.
With it being overheard from someone else's second hand info obviously take this with a big grain of salt, anyone else heard similarly?

If you look up the distribution, some have say 40,000 personnel, some have like only 400. Why not reduce footprint? - move these to capital cities etc

4th November Burgess Hill

This article from The Argus highlights a developing international headwind for L3Harris, focusing on local government transparency and public protests in the United Kingdom.

The reporting outlines a growing controversy over the secret relocation of an arms manufacturing facility, adding another layer of PR and operational stress to the company's global portfolio.

The row centers on Unit 3 at Panattoni Park in Goddards Green (Burgess Hill), where L3Harris is believed to be planning to relocate its Brighton factory operations.

Local residents and campaigners from "Burgess Hill Says No to L3Harris" discovered that Mid Sussex District Council systematically redacted explicit references to L3Harris from public planning objections. Residents argue this cripples the public's right to properly scrutinize planning decisions.

The local council stated that redacting an alleged end-user's identity is standard practice for commercial applications involving "minor physical works" where the lawful use of the building is not changing.

L3Harris's Brighton facility manufactures bo-b-release equipment for F-35 fighter jets and supplies we-pons components to the U.S. and Israeli militaries. Because of this, the local operations have been the target of direct action and public protests for over 20 years.

While this localized planning dispute might seem separated from the high-level corporate scandals in Washington, it directly feeds the macro mechanisms driving potential downsizing and a talent drain at L3Harris.

The local activist group has successfully scaled its campaign, sending over 12,500 protest letters to the directors and agents of the park's developer and landlord, Panattoni, urging them to break the lease agreement.

While the first planning application was approved under delegated powers, a second crucial application is still gridlocked. If public pressure forces Panattoni to cancel the lease or if the council delays the secondary permits, L3Harris's entire UK relocation timeline collapses.

When a manufacturing facility's transition hits a wall, the local assembly workers, facility engineers, and site coordinators face immediate displacement because there is no active floor space to execute contract deliveries.

The article explicitly highlights that L3Harris is being publicly labeled as a "billion-dollar arms company" supplying controversial global conflicts.

This intense local scrutiny matches the branding issues the company faces in the U.S. over the ICE homeland security leaks. High-demand aerospace and software engineers do not want their personal names or work locations targeted by aggressive, multi-decade protest groups.

The prospect of working at a facility that draws permanent local outrage, picket lines, and negative press coverage creates an undesirable work environment, triggering defensive resignations from elite talent who can easily jump to less controversial UK technology fields.

With L3Harris's new CEO Sam Mehta attempting to steady the company's production goals following the Christopher Kubasik scandal, managing a public relations and legal transparency crisis in the UK drains vital executive focus. Facing simultaneous multi-committee congressional subpoenas in Washington and local government corruption/redaction allegations in Europe forces the company to adopt a defensive posture, typically resulting in cost-rationalization and global overhead consolidation to protect investor returns.

Any rumors where they would shift the headquarters of the two companies.

Announced today that 25% of roles are being eliminated and relocated, 50% title, reporting, or role change, 25% unaffected.

Fidelity is forcing a team to relocate to the city centre, despite the existing office remaining open and the work being perfectly doable from there. Alongside reduced WFH, employees are facing significantly longer commutes for seemingly no good reason.

Why make life harder for employees when a perfectly reasonable alternative exists? Has anyone successfully challenged a forced relocation?

ADAC Automotive will close its Saranac facility on June 30, 2027. This closure will result in layoffs for 87 employees and 10 contract positions. The company cited significant industry transformations and changing customer demands as reasons for the decision. Some affected employees may be offered relocation to other ADAC production sites. Operations will be phased out gradually over the next few months.

Clean out your lockers.
Clean off your desks for a “clean desk” policy.

It seems like the Chicago office could be the next to close. Move everything to NY and TX.

I've seen people mention hybrid and/or remote exceptions for spouses in the military. I only found this being available in times of relocating. Is that all Fidelity offers flexibility with?

For those who got surplussed after moving to a hub, do you get severance offered again?

Does anyone have insight what they are planning for Oakley Station Pulse Point? If they close it, any advice on how to avoid being forced way up to Mason which is significantly further from Cincinnati?

Did anyone move to a hub recently ? Did you rent or buy? Were you impacted by layoffs after moving? If you were unable to find a job in your local place, what was your chance of finding one there?

Company announced employees must relocate or accept a severance in Engineering . Tricky this time as they only give you an electronic summary that you can NOT download. Employees have just 2 weeks to decide on severance. However, Charter will not release full severance details until employees decide to take the severance. Very shady. Employees are given weeks pay for every year of service which is capped at 39 weeks which equals 13 years. Long tenured employees getting sc--wed under the cap of 39 weeks (equals 9 months). Sr. Managers and down have same severance structure...weird. What's even weirder is employees have to accept severance before they will know their end dates.

Technology Leadership is moving the engineering teams out of SF Bay Area. Does anyone know the timeline?

Are OH offices closing? Are they moving more people into Mason? Anything on the Columbus office?

Over a month ago, the airport announced that they are building a new terminal and runway. Construction starts in a couple of years. Funding is lined up. Our Engines campus is in the way of this expansion. The way things are going lately, does our leadership even know about this? Are we moving production somewhere close? Or are we going to find a new home in another state?

I couldn’t land a job and have to move to big city. It’s a painful move with no certainty what will happen after 6 months in this company. Now, I am certain many people moved this way. Have you gotten comfortable in the new routine or actively trying to get out? Did you adapt to 5 day RTO?

..or relocate to Chennai if they're going to lay off everyone

Hi, I'm likely going to be forced out via a PIP in the coming weeks, and I was wondering where to look outside of IBM for a new job? I'm applying lots of places, but has anyone had success in a particular company?

I'm in the US, but any state would be fine for me, I don't mind relocating. What companies are treating their employees better? Remote work options? I have 4 years experience so far, so I'm having a hard time finding roles that fit my skillset and experience level. I hear that's enough to be a Senior software engineer most places, but most of my work is frontend so it's a lil difficult.

I'm also LGBTQ, which I don't want to make a bug fuss about, but that can be hard with employers, sometimes.

Any advice is welcome and appreciated! It's a tough market, but I got people who depend on me, so I really need to figure something out.

Hope everyone is doing okay and staying safe!

Anyone file for UIdue to turning down relocation? Company contested it. What did you state in response?
By laws in my state I’m entitled to UI if the company moves X number of miles. I didn’t accept the relocation package.
I can’t afford to hire an attorney and the company knows that it’s lopsided.

Unimotor is set to reduce production at its St. Thomas facility. A significant portion of this work will be relocated to Mexico. This move is attributed to global competitiveness and market pressures, not tariffs. The exact number of affected employees remains undisclosed. Approximately 90 individuals are currently employed at the plant.

My manager was canned this week. Told that the position has been relabeled as Waterloo. They weren't given the option of relocating, this was the first they heard about this on the HR call. She tried to ask questions and kept getting the same response that the company wants this position to be located out of Waterloo.

This tells me that there's an effort underway to identify where positions need to be located and we're going to see WFRs around location requirements on top of other WFRs.

With Storage leaving Franklin for Apex and all the resulting changes it will bring to the plant....anyone kicked the tires on Unionizing? I mean, ya know on top of the billions being brought in by AI and seeing the same size bonus and raises.

A state filing indicates 587 Hasbro employees in Pawtucket will be separated from their roles on December 24. The company states these positions were offered relocation to Boston as part of a previously announced corporate move. However, Hasbro has not disclosed how many employees accepted the relocation offer. This action marks a significant departure from Hasbro's Pawtucket headquarters, where it has operated for over a century. The exact number of employees making the move remains unclear.

I really thought this place wouldn't be so cruel. Got an offer to relocate with a promotion and a raise. Took it thinking I'd be safe at least for a while. Why would you ask somebody to move their entire life just to turn around and lay them off within months? A very expensive lesson leaned, I guess.

LinkedIn is full of two ExxonMobil stories right now: Houston employees leaving or retiring, and BTC curries with about three years’ experience who are happy to move to the US as specialists and grateful to ExxonMobil.

Just remember if the company relocated you then you have to wait a whole year before you can quit and not have to repay the company for relocation expenses. Another reason to not be mobile. They don’t reward mobility anyway. If your partner works there is no chance you will make up for the lost income of your partner quitting their job. Project teams and UNCON teams in Midland all get PIPd as well. Better to be in Houston than to be PIPd somewhere else where finding a new job will be hard.

Anybody experienced this? Were you able to find something immediately?

Anyone knows anything about how the actual move to Edmonton will look like? I mean..will there be any force date when everyone is expected to show up there..or any staggered plan based on departments? Giving it was announced as of 2H 2028 but nothing has been cleared since then

Looks like corporate will reloacate back to MN.

Fiserv has agreed to take about 254,000 square feet at the Boca Raton Innovation Campus (BRiC), with the deal reported this morning, September 24. The company is moving its South Florida offices there from its existing Coral Springs facilities
https://www.bizjournals.com/southflorida/news/2026/09/24/fiserv-related-ross-new-boca-raton-campus.html

So relocating and actually leasing a larger footprint. Well I guess that means Fiserv is maintaining a long term South Florida operating presence rather than simply liquidate that location.

What a waste

Why is it ok for Pepsi to shut down relo to find the best talent for roles, but approve around 300 H1B applications at an estimated $2 Million dollars in fees. Meanwhile colleges have told the youth to go to college and learn tech. This doesn’t look like nepotism at all

Has anyone been asked to pay back a relocation after being in role over a year? Has anyone not paid/ or has paid give me any details.
