Verizon is implementing significant job cuts, eliminating approximately 3,000 positions as part of a broader restructuring effort. The company is also divesting some of its retail store locations to streamline operations. In addition to these large-scale reductions, a WARN notice has been filed for 54 specific layoffs across nine facilities in Washington State. These targeted layoffs are scheduled to take effect on September 18, 2026. These actions reflect ongoing efforts by the telecommunications giant to optimize its cost structure and adapt to market dynamics.

My warn notice ends later this week. I plan on filing for unemployment right after my official end date which is around the 16th. For those that have been laid off by Citi, were you able to get unemployment right away or did you have to wait for the severance period to end? I know they pay us a lump sum but I understand it depends upon how it is documented.

With the split being front and center, I have not seen any WARN notices go out from the last rounds.

Curious to see what if any DDAT was let go since there were no threads here.

Amazon has disclosed approximately 95 job cuts in Washington state, primarily affecting its retail business. These reductions are not a new wave of layoffs but rather a continuation of previously announced workforce adjustments. The affected roles include software engineers, product managers, and program managers, with most employees based in Seattle. This notice specifically covers Washington state employees and is part of a broader restructuring within Amazon's Stores unit. Employees were notified of these changes over several months, with some receiving notice as early as July.

Comcast’s October 29 WARN filing in Washington confirms 159 permanent layoffs across multiple departments, including VP-level positions, with separations beginning December 31.

What stands out is that Comcast has sometimes managed restructurings without WARN filings, although it has filed them in the past.

The concern is the scale. This appears to be more than eliminating a few redundant leadership roles. Comcast is making significant organizational changes across multiple functions.

The next thing to watch is whether Pennsylvania receives a WARN filing, which could provide more insight into the extent of layoffs at Comcast’s Philadelphia headquarters.

It reinforces how substantial this restructuring is. It’s not over. 👀

Wells Fargo announced its largest layoff in at least five years at its Jordan Creek campus in West Des Moines — 86 employees, out the door Dec. 26.

The WARN notice, posted Tuesday Oct. 27, is the bank's 16th round of cuts since February. It brings the 2026 Iowa total to 460 — and the Des Moines metro total to 1,975 jobs cut across 113 rounds since April 2022.

For context: headcount has now fallen every quarter for six years, down 30% from its Q2 2020 peak. In Q3 alone, the bank shed 3,097 employees, ending September at 194,369 — while posting $6.0 billion in net income, EPS up 13%.

CEO Scharf has said AI will keep bringing headcount down. The bank didn't say which divisions the 86 are in, or whether any will be retained elsewhere.

Fender has issued a WARN notice for its Corona, California factory, affecting 533 employees. The company states this is a temporary closure for holiday inventory, not layoffs.

A Starbucks location within Seattle-Tacoma International Airport's Terminal A will be closing its doors. This closure is expected to impact thirteen employees, including baristas, utility workers, and managers. The operator of this concession, HMSHost, filed a WARN notice detailing these impending layoffs. The affected employees will see their positions terminated between late December 2026 and mid-January 2027. This specific closure is a concession decision by the airport, not a broader Starbucks store shutdown.

I was just talking with an old peer who was impacted at Discover. She has been there three years. They gave her 7 months severance. My cousin was recently impacted at USAA. He was there for less than 2 years and was given 6 months severance. They also got warn notices and paid on top of the severance for the warn period. Citi gave me 3 months plus the warn period.

Citi is absolutely horrible. Do better, Citi! The job market is absolutely horrible. It is just going to get worse. Start taking care of the people that took care of you. You are turning huge profits and sc--wing your most valuable resources.

Distributor Essendant has warned of possible business cessation as it plans to lay off at least 1,100 employees. The company is actively seeking new capital and exploring asset sales to prevent liquidation. These significant job cuts follow a recent strategic pivot away from office supplies towards JanSan, foodservice, and technology products. Recent WARN notices detail layoffs across multiple distribution centers and its corporate headquarters. The company's future remains uncertain as these efforts to secure funding and avoid closure are ongoing.

Sidekicks Pub at T-Mobile Market Hall will cease operations on December 20th. This closure will result in the layoff of 83 employees. The decision stems from the loss of a contract with T-Mobile.

Mostly IT and Marketing. Last days will range between same day to end of ski season to avoid WARN notice

Comcast has been moving through successive structural changes for a while now. Cable subscriber losses have been a long-running fact; broadband faces more competition from fiber and fixed wireless; the company has already spun the cable networks into Versant and announced a larger separation of NBCUniversal and Sky targeted for around mid-2027. The remaining business is being shaped around the parts that still generate returns, with pressure to run leaner and cheaper. That direction is straightforward from a strategy standpoint. It does not make the effects on people any smaller. The company is in survival mode. That does not make any particular cut more or less justified than the next one.

The pattern visible so far is roughly this: business or organizational changes get announced, shared and support functions are needed to carry the transition (knowledge transfer, process redesign, temporary capacity, cleanup of systems and ways of working), and then those same support layers get compressed once the new shape is clearer. Division-level consolidations earlier required months of overlapping structure before the shared functions themselves could be resized.

The current round of reductions across HR, talent, learning, recruiting, shared services, compensation, and related areas appears to follow the same logic, and ahead of other announcements that need their support to carry out. A lot, but not all, people were notified earlier this week with most transitions expected through year-end. Under the WARN Act that means roughly 60 days, so the effective date for those already informed is generally December 31.

Calendars are largely cleared except for specific knowledge-transfer items. If you’ve been impacted—take the time for yourself. Strategize around your next decisions.

The company offers a standard minimum severance package across the board. It is technically negotiable, but the criteria are narrow and the bar for improving it is high unless there is clear additional evidence outside the ordinary process.

For what it is, the package is more generous than a lot of companies offer in similar situations. That is also part of how these events stay quieter in the broader press.

Many of the people delivering the conversations are themselves in roles that have been or may still be affected. Business partners and support leads are not exempt from the same reductions. That is worth remembering when the conversations feel uneven.

All of these decisions read as cost line items; the human consequences sit outside the spreadsheet.

None of this changes the underlying business case. Product economics have to improve, not just at Comcast, as legacy revenue streams continue to shrink, and consumer options keep getting cheaper and more self-contained.

Companies will keep concentrating resources where the remaining profit is. For Comcast, spinoff timelines create additional room for further adjustments once the new entities are cleanly separated. Shared functions that are currently carrying the transition work are not automatically protected past the point where the numbers no longer support the old footprint. The same pressure is visible on the NBCUniversal side of the split. Being named to move with a spinoff is not a shield.

A few practical observations for anyone still inside:

The organization is concentrating heavily on headquarters locations. Remaining or newly designed roles are largely expected out of Philadelphia and New York. Virtual or remote arrangements are being viewed more skeptically and appear more likely to surface earlier in notification lists under the current emphasis on in-person work.

Roles are being posted for people already in notified lanes to apply into. In practice this functions as a post-and-reapply process rather than an automatic placement into a leaner version of the prior work.

Some people will self-select out. Others will not see a clear lane presented as an option. Reading the actual job postings, the location requirements, and which teams are still actively hiring versus which are only absorbing knowledge transfer gives a clearer picture than internal messaging alone.

Communications around continuity and opportunity exist in part to limit a mass exodus. That is ordinary corporate practice in these situations. It does not change the underlying numbers, or the direction of the business.

The cuts have not stopped as a one-time event. This wave is larger and more visible, but reductions continue in smaller cycles elsewhere.

Leadership has been direct about the performance of the organization and about the need for these kinds of changes; the board put people in place who would execute them.
Advice that follows from the above: start looking regardless of where you sit, unless you have a confirmed and funded role on the far side of a spinoff—and even then treat that as provisional. Waiting for walking papers is a valid choice. Applying internally is a valid choice. Leaving is a valid choice. Sitting comfortably idle is not. Evolve the work you do, internally or externally. Even if you do, do not be surprised if a later conversation places you in the same process as everyone else.

The point is not that every role disappears tomorrow. It is that people still have a window to decide how they want their next step to read, rather than only reacting once the window closes.

This is costing the company a significant amount of money in severance and transition support. That is by design. It keeps the process orderly and the external noise lower. I cannot emphasize enough—it does not change the direction of the business.

Kaiser Permanente is implementing permanent layoffs affecting 161 workers across California. These workforce reductions are scheduled to take effect in November and December. The affected positions include various radiologic technologists, leading to potential delays in patient services. The healthcare giant filed multiple WARN notices detailing the scope of these layoffs. This move signifies a significant reduction in staff for the organization.

How does WARN work? I can see there’s no national or state wide WARN alerts, but Google says it’s required before the first layoff can happen. Does that mean that the layoffs won’t be as bad as we think because they’d be breaking the law if they hit the WARN threshold (which would happen with people’s 10% of company guess)

Apparently the company that runs Sidekicks Pub at the Bellevue office lost its contract with T-Mobile and announced a layoff, beginning 12/20.

I wonder if T-Mobile is closing Sidekicks permanently or just changing vendors...

Does anyone know what happens if someone is on leave and is affected by a RIF? Like if they are on FMLA or maternity/paternity leave? I know they wait until you return to tell you, but does your 60 days of garden leave start then? Or is it already ticking and you just get the x weeks of severance? I know the garden leave is done so they can walk you out the door but also satisfy the WARN act.
