Already started hitting HR and other areas. Likely won’t see WARN notices for another 30-90 days due to paid leaves given.

Are there many "remote" Oracle workers living in California who were laid off this month who only received 20-days advanced notice? Any chance you haven't signed the severance agreement?

Covered employers must provide written notice 60 calendar days in advance of a business closing or mass layoff or reduction in hours.

Employers generally are covered by the WBCML law if they employ 50 or more persons in the State of Wisconsin and Make a reduction in the workforce which affects at least 25% of the workforce or 25 employees, whichever is greater or at least 500 employees.

Two or more groups of employees who are affected during a 90-day period may be considered in aggregate when determining whether the business closing or mass layoff thresholds have been met.

Not sure if I'm looking at this right since they changed the format, but it looks like several new WARN notices were posted on 9/18 for various properties including 1515....

Another slew of mass layoffs is set to hit a logistics services company, as Texas continues to brace for job losses amid a weakening economy.

Accelore Group, LLC announced plans to eliminate 107 positions in Tarrant County and 107 positions in Dallas County, according to new reports filed under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act.

The layoffs will take place at the company's Amazon Logistics locations in Fort Worth and Balch Springs.

Dave Watson announced elimination of division structure starting in January. Frontline divisional teammates will stick around, everything else is moving to HQ. Unsure if just residential or resi and CB. Regional roles will still exist. Crazy that they've gotten away without filing a warn notice since 2020.

In a WARN letter, the company said the closure is due to “difficult business conditions” and is aimed at enhancing operational efficiency. The facility, located on Sumner Court in Georgetown, is expected to shut down permanently.

ABU & USA Layoff Summary – Waves 1 & 2

ABU Wave 2
• EOI-Only Adjustments: Across ABU teams, Wave 2 changes were minimal < 1% of staff affected, and only through EOI.

USA Wave 2
• Team USA Impact: No specific percentage breakdown per team is publicly confirmed, but no major WARN filings or Layoff.com traffic suggests significant cuts in the U.S.

ABU Wave 1
• ABU FE CVX Staff: Changes were limited to EOIs and performance-based PMP reviews. No broad structural layoffs reported.

• ABU Contractors: Wave 1 ABU FE contractors saw virtually no layoffs, consistent with Chevron’s strategy to retain operational continuity.

• As expected, very limited ABU in execution MCP changes (JIC, CO2 etc.)

• ABU M&R Teams: Wave 1 Confirmed 100% out of scope. No layoffs or restructuring reported for Maintenance & Reliability functions, deferred to Waves 3 & 4 in 2026.

Ref.
Chevron (CVX): Targeting a 15–20% global headcount reduction by end of 2026, up to 9,000 roles. However, only ~200 layoffs confirmed in Midland, Texas for 2025.

Final Takeaways:

• ABU layoffs remain highly targeted and minimal, especially in FE and contractor roles.

• USA-based Chevron teams have seen limited disruption so far, with no major layoff spikes.

• Layoff.com and WARNTracker show low traffic for CVX-related layoffs in the U.S., supporting the notion that most changes are internal and performance-based.

Please don’t post any BS, Winging or Gossip!

Any NEW ABU / USA Layoff FACTS Welcome!

We've been through a lot this year.
Lots of pockets and smaller waves.

It's paid off, they've managed to keep it under wraps this year.

Known Layoffs in 2025:

• 300 SEC (May 15)
• 480 Global Tech (June 10)
• 150 WHQ - IDSA, NAO, Ops, Marketing, DSM (Sept 2)

Not to mention the dozens of one-offs throughout the year.

Nike conducted several small layoffs in staggered batches.
Which must have all remained under the reporting threshold for each wave.

They strategically timed reductions to avoid hitting the “mass layoff” definition.

These are conservative and confirmed numbers impacted.

What other teams, domains or dates are missing from above?

I was not remote, but flex and had to go to the office 3 days a week and use a flex workspace. Would WARN apply in my case?

Curious if Chevron HR filed WARN notice this past Friday

For Hess, Chevron HR filed notice on Friday a week before the cut date - and held the “town halls” at Hess the following Tuesday - hours prior to the notice getting published by the state.

When questioned about what numbers were filed on the WARN notice, the town hall’s HR rep dodged the question and said “we aren’t disclosing those numbers at this time.”

Less than 24 hours later they were published by the state (Wednesday) and the employees ended up learning of the 575 / 830 cut through media outlets.

Is this standard operating procedure at CVX - to be too cowardly to talk straight with employees?

It certainly rubbed a lot of Hess employees the wrong way - the lack of professionalism/courteously, and the apparent cowardice displayed by HR in the town halls.

Does CVX have a pre-firing town hall scheduled for Tuesday this week?

The layoffs are connected to financial pressures.

The co is in the middle of store closures nationwide. Now it's reducing staff at its Hoffman Estates CORP facility in Illinois.

It's in a WARN

Date: October 2025 (4 workers) and December 2025 (2 workers)

• Total Laid off: 6
• Note: These are small layoffs tied to changes in business needs. The company is based in Los Angeles but is impacting workers in Illinois. The WARN filing cited business-needs changes rather than contract loss or facility closure.

Company: Total Facility Maintenance, Inc.
Date: September 30, 2025

• Laid off: 141

  This company is also letting go employees because it lost a contract. It’s located in Wood Dale, Illinois. This is part of a supplemental WARN notice. Total Facility Maintenance had reported layoffs last year as well (41 workers then) and now is planning further reductions.

Company: Diverse Facility Solutions, Inc.

• Date: September 30, 2025 (WARN report indicates 276, but company plans point to 191)
• Laid off: ~191 to 276

  The layoffs stem from the cancellation of its janitorial services contract with Chicago Public Schools. Though the WARN notice lists 276 workers being laid off, the company clarified it intends to lay off about 191 employees, transferring many others to a different union. There is also a legal concern: a law firm is investigating whether Diverse Facility Solutions met the required 60-day notice under the WARN Act before initiating the mass layoff. The company provides facility management and janitorial services.

Hundreds of layoffs are coming to Houston as two major companies downsize their local operations.

CyraCom International, a remote interpretation provider recently acquired by Propio, will close its Houston facility and eliminate 355 jobs beginning December 1. The cuts include interpreters in Spanish, Vietnamese, Portuguese, Arabic and several other languages. CyraCom’s Arizona office will also see about 500 jobs cut as part of the restructuring.

Essendant Management Services, a distribution company, has also announced plans to cut 92 jobs in Houston this November due to business downsizing.

These announcements come after recent WARN Act filings revealed nearly 1,900 layoffs statewide from August through October, with Houston shouldering most of the impact. Both CyraCom and Essendant have not yet provided further comment.

banner just filed notice that 351 workers in colorado are getting cut by nov 5. this came through a state warn filing and yeah... it’s a big hit.

they’re closing a freestanding ER & Urgent Care in Greeley on that same date. banner has over 3,000 staff in northern colorado and over 60K nationwide, so big news...

the affected will get transition help, like priority for other open roles in the system, career counseling, and support services.

at the same time banner is rolling out what they call a multi-year investment plan to reshape their footprint in the region. that includes buying up a primary care network and turning the mckee medical center in loveland into a specialty hospital.

CEO for colorado hospitals said the changes are because of "community demand" whatever that means for him. ER volumes at mckee have dropped 4 years in a row, they’re only using 25% of the beds, and 90% percent of surgeries there are already outpatient.

And, it'll not stop here

Revvity Inc., a biomanufacturing company, is closing its South End facility in Boston and laying off all 74 employees at the site. The layoffs are expected to be completed by the end of the year, with a WARN notice filed with the state of Massachusetts indicating the layoffs will occur between November 1, 2025, and August 31, 2028.

The company, headquartered in Waltham, has not given a specific reason for the closure. This move follows a period of business realignment and cost management for the company, which recently lowered its outlook due to policy changes in China.

At least 100 employees received notice on September 2nd giving them 90 days until their December 2nd termination.

My manager called me into a 9:00 a.m. meeting and said "I and requires you read to you the following statement...". The notice was legalistic and had no positive message (like perhaps You haven't done anything actionable). He had no other details for me and no specifics about severance. He said I would receive an official document within 24 hours and I received that in the evening.

Opportunity is given to apply for jobs internally, but I have much better opportunities outside and BSC just isn't a great place to work. The usual job search consulting and training is available through the so-called "talent bridge".

Severance information was listed in the document that I received and all full-time non-manager employees will receive two weeks severance plus one additional week for every complete year of service. It appears we don't get any portion of our performance bonuses like TIP because the grant date is after termination.

So a meager severance package and a dreary 90 day notice while they try to get some transition how do I say and hope that we go away at zero cost. If we leave prior to termination date we get no severance and we lose TIP bonus regardless. Leaving people at risk for being jobless and short of funds right before Christmas.

That's a cold corporate kiss-off. They definitely care more about savings than treating people fairly.

Prior to this jobs downturn for having I would have had my pickup jobs. I still am not too concerned but can't be sure. We were told in a training bridge overview session that They recommend spending 30% of our job time on training and job search. I think they'll be lucky and will say thank you if I give half. The internal corporate optics are not good when they push on people already striped of their financial stability and professional dignity.

The movie Office Space tells us everything we need to know about how to use the little power we have to not become victims of corporate greed and cruelty. Practice Quiet-Quitting and "Not Missing Work".

Organization: Microsoft

Expected beginning date of separations: November 7, 2025

Number of affected workers: 42

Layoff or closure: Layoff

Check the WARN list online!!!!

Assuming that the much rumored Citi Tampa layoffs for September will trigger the Warn Act, do you get a 60 day non working notice and then severance (in my case 3 months) or just 30 days severance plus unused vacation. TIA.

Can someone post the text of the notice that the news says went to Texas employees, please?

With all the layoffs yesterday why was there no WARN letter sent out?

Is it because most of the layoffs were remote workers so there were not enough layoffs at one particular location to meet the WARN eligibility threshold?

Anyone know how many layoffs there were in California? Wondering why they didn’t file a WARN notice in CA.

https://esd.wa.gov/employer-requirements/layoffs-and-employee-notifications/worker-adjustment-and-retraining-notification-warn-layoff-and-closure-database

if you search for oracle in the lower search bar you'll see that there's a new one notice that came out today for 2 months from now

At least judging by the fact that no WARN has been filed yet. That gives us still more time to put things in order and try to find something else, if there’s anyone left who hasn’t already been working hard on alternatives. The job market is terrible right now, yes, but there are always options, especially if you’re willing to step outside your comfort zone. The only truly useless thing in this drawn-out drama is to sit around worrying and panicking.

By law we should have be given 90 written notice.
Some states also have similar laws and require payments to the employee.

Based on the most recent Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN) notices via WARNTracker.com, the following companies are laying off employees in September:

• Quality Food Centers
• Indeed, Inc.
• Jack in the Box
• Cooperative Health
• Fidelity National Information Services
• Sundance Holdings
• Fred Meyer
• RV Country Washington LLC

Class action law firm Strauss Borrelli PLLC is investigating eBay for potential WARN Act violations related to recent mass layoff at subsidiary TCGPlayer.

eBay announced the layoff on May 22nd, cutting over 200 jobs at the warehouse in Syracuse, NY and finally bringing an end to the first union in eBay history as authentication operations were moved to a new facility in Kentucky.

Cisco announces layoffs days after CEO said it won’t cut jobs in favor of AI

Law firm ‘investigating’ layoffs over alleged notice discrepancy, while Cisco brings in a new channel partner chief

Cisco plans to cut more than 150 employees as part of a new round of layoffs, with the cuts coming days after CEO Chuck Robbins said the company would not be slicing jobs in favor of AI.

The latest cuts include 157 employees at various locations in California. The majority of the cuts are are targeted at Cisco's Milpitas campus, with 64 roles being cut at its site in San Francisco. Staff at its former Redwood City headquarters and some roles at its site in Pleasanton are also set for elimination.

A plethora of roles are set to be axed, including juniors as well as executives with VP titles, among those facing layoffs, according to reports.

News of the layoffs comes after Robbins said he didn’t see the networking giant using AI as an excuse to reduce headcount.

"I don't want to get rid of a bunch of people right now," the CEO told CNBC, instead suggesting he wants the company’s engineers to “innovate faster and be more productive.”

AI was among the reasons Cisco cited for cutting 7% of its workforce last August, a decision CFO Scott Herren suggested at the time was more akin to “a reallocation versus a headcount savings.”

Those cuts followed a 5% reduction of Cisco’s global workforce in February 2024, a restructuring move the vendor suggested at the time would maximize shareholder returns.

Did Cisco break the law?
Its latest round of layoffs is, however, being probed by a law firm over claims the company could have violated U.S. labor laws.

Chicago-based law firm Strauss Borrelli said it was looking into layoffs at the networking giant, suggesting Cisco employees facing layoffs may be owed 60 days of severance pay and benefits.

Under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act, U.S. employers are required to provide 60 days' notice before mass layoffs. The law firm is investigating whether a WARN Notice was filed with the state of California at least 60 days before the mid-October job eliminations, as affected staff were reportedly only notified on August 13 – despite the dates appearing to line up.

“We are investigating whether Cisco failed to provide at least 60 days’ notice before laying off 157 employees and, therefore, violated the WARN Act,” the law firm said in a statement.

Cisco last week reported earnings that saw it bring in $800 million in AI-related revenues for the fourth quarter of its fiscal 2025, which pushed its full fiscal-year AI-related haul to $2.1 billion.

Robbins told investors that largely all of its AI growth was coming from hyperscaler customers, with two-thirds of AI-related orders tied to Cisco systems, with the remaining one-third tied to its optics portfolio.

The Mercury News reported two WARN act filings by Oracle - disclosed on August 13, filed again on August 14.

"Oracle America is cutting 101 positions in Santa Clara, the company revealed in a WARN notice filed with the EDD on Aug. 14. These staffing reductions come on the heels of a disclosure by Oracle on Aug. 13 that it had decided to cut 188 jobs, consisting of a loss of 143 positions in Redwood City and 45 in Pleasanton."

Does this mean that the disclosure layoffs (Aug 13) already happened but the filed (Aug 14) layoffs have up to 60 days to execute?
