The job cuts are expected to occur in Houston, Texas.

S&S Activewear will close a Texas distribution center in Irving, the're cutting 146 jobs between December 2025 and September 2026

LeeMAH Electronics will close its Richardson facility, cutting 84 jobs tied to aerospace, medical, and tech industries

Layoffs in North Texas are projected to exceed 10,000 individuals by 2025. This substantial figure represents a regional total across various sectors, rather than a single affected company. The Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) area is the primary region experiencing these job reductions. Despite the high number of job cuts, economic experts assert that the DFW economy remains robust and strong. The impact of these layoffs is therefore distributed across the broader North Texas metropolitan area.

How many do you think are moving to Houston, TX from California?

I know of a few people that are g concerned regarding selling their house in the Danville,CA area. This is a tough market to sell a house.

I took the package and I am retiring. Not sure I want to stay in this area. However, perhaps it is better to just move versus being constantly reminded about the presence Chevron previously had in the area.

FedEx will lay off all 856 workers at its Coppell logistics facility, starting in late January, with the site closing by April. The shutdown is due to a client switching to another logistics provider.

No more ambiguity. I don't have to sit in this he-l hole of a position, worrying about the ax man chasing me anymore. I'm at peace. A chicken with its head cut off.

No but in all honesty, I moved out to Texas from Chicago for the position I worked. This place, no offense to the native Texas folk out here (you guys are generally pretty great), is a fu--ing shithole. I won't dig into the specifics of why, other than I genuinely can't wait to go back up north where you have a better quality of life. I will not miss this place.

I want to acknowledge that I'm aware of the inherent sensitivity to this subject. Not everyone is in an as fortunate of a situation and that's okay. I feel for you too. I grieved this whole ordeal way before it went down because of this site. I can acknowledge not everyone is there and for that, I want to give you nothing but the utmost respect and wish you nothing but the best.

Dallas gives you big-city energy without the chaos: a booming job market, no state income tax, modern high-rise living, elite restaurants, endless shopping, and a huge, diverse social scene. You get clean, well-maintained neighborhoods, wide roads, quick commutes, and easy access to airports that make national travel effortless.

The city blends Southern hospitality with a fast-growing, entrepreneurial vibe, offering major sports teams, arts districts, lakes, and year-round events—while still being far more affordable than NYC, LA, or SF.

It’s a place where you can actually build wealth, enjoy space, and still feel plugged into a major metropolitan lifestyle.

I’m from Texas and I recently found out that upper leadership is getting with management and Regional Managers trying to figure out what positions are really needed within the clinic nurses and medical assistants, so I know cuts are for sure coming. So they would rather put more work on staff members, then hire another body. In my honest opinion, they are going to get rid of all the seasoned employees that are getting paid more so they can hire new hires and if you do get laid off, they’ll probably make you take the severance package lose all the years under your belt with the company and then re-hire you at zero years. I was unfortunately part of the first round of layoffs a few years ago and that was part of the package if you take the severance package, you lose all the years under your belt.

Any one knows whats the last date for Texas & Florida employees? I heard for NJ it’s 02/20 (3 months) due to WARN act.

I just logged in to end the waiting but I haven't received any and none of my coworkers received anything while I am pretty the team is impacted

did anyone in Texas(Irving) notification for layoff/survival?

Been hearing rumors through the grapevine of more RIFs at RFAB

Moving HQ to TX, tax incentives

PEGATRON is one of the chain suppliers for Dell and Apple and Samsung.

PEGATRON Corporation, a leading global provider of AI computing services, has acquired a 168,784-square-foot facility in Georgetown, Texas, marking its first manufacturing site in the United States. This development underscores Texas's prominence in tech and AI industries, with PEGATRON’s investment bolstering the state’s growing tech infrastructure.

The company, based in Taiwan, specializes in the design, manufacturing, and service of a variety of electronic products, including notebooks, smartphones, game consoles, and smart home devices. The new Georgetown facility will help PEGATRON better serve its U.S. customers with improved solutions and services.

The project was made possible through collaborative efforts by the City of Georgetown, Williamson County, Opportunity Austin, the Texas Economic Development & Tourism Office, and the Austin Regional Manufacturing Association. PEGATRON plans to invest at least $35 million in the facility and hire hundreds of employees, with an initial goal of hiring 100 within the first three years.

The facility, located at 610 Blue Springs Blvd., is set to begin construction by the end of 2025. Local leaders, including Georgetown Mayor Josh Schroeder and Williamson County Judge Steve Snell, have expressed enthusiasm over the long-term economic impact, particularly in terms of job creation and growth in the region’s high-tech manufacturing sector.

The project also involves performance-based economic development agreements, which will be reviewed by local officials to ensure the commitment to capital investments and job creation is met.

An increasing number of Taiwanese companies are establishing a presence in Austin-area suburbs like Hutto, Taylor, and Georgetown. As more foreign companies invest in the U.S. tech sector for its strong economic fundamentals, some, like MD, are hiring foreign workers to slash down costs.

There is still no listing for the upcoming COP lay-off on the TWC site. The list is obviously up to date because there are listings from the end of October. This is just one more reason why Texas su-ks and needs a complete overhaul from the top down. It is never for the people here with the current regime in power. Examples are:
support to take away women’s rights, minimizing employees rights, having Ten Commandments posted in public schools, not being able to bring citizen referendums to the polls, and playing political games with national guard just to lick the boots of the mo--n leading this country. We should never go as far as California but there is something in between Texas and California that works better than the current situation.

Wellmed - Optum / North Texas Team. 60 people let go at once!

Why have there been no WARN notices in TX or CA from the 2H selection event? Did we not lay off enough people to trigger a WARN notice in the US?

With continuing structural cost savings, what is the predicted future of our Spring Campus?

I stand to get 21 weeks and am most likely on the chopping block. Am i eligible to receive unemp benefits from day 1? Texas only counts after the 'period of coverage of the severence pay'. But the verbage at:
https://efte.twc.texas.gov/release_waiver_agreements.html
""2.Incentive money, i.e., money paid to secure an employee's agreement not to file claims or lawsuits, is not regarded as severance pay for unemployment claim purposes and will not affect unemployment benefits if it is paid to obtain a release or waiver of liability from the departing employee with regard to the Civil Rights Act of 1991, or to settle a claim or lawsuit that has already been filed, or in connection with a written contract that was negotiated between the employer and employee prior to the date of the work separation.""

#2 seems to indicate that in our case , the 'Enhanced lumpsum' we receive seems to be more of a 'I wont sue you for this money' so does not count as severance money or the sake of unemp benfs?

I heard a rumor that Chevron is going to secure office space in Cypress. Has anyone else heard that? I’d like to know if that’s true before I relocate.
