Tech giant lays off 143 workers from former Bay Area headquarters
https://www.sfgate.com/tech/article/oracle-tech-giant-layoffs-headquarters-20819830.php
The tech company announced the cuts on Wednesday in WARN documents, as is generally required in the event of mass layoffs. One lists 45 layoffs at the company’s Pleaston campus; the other lists 143 at its former headquarters in Redwood City.
Software developers — at various levels of seniority — are being hit hard, according to the WARN notices. Within the category, six vice presidents are losing their jobs in Redwood City, plus 25 director- and manager-level employees and more than 60 lower-level developers.
The documents say that workers were notified on or before Wednesday and will officially leave the roles in mid-October. The WARN Act requires employers to give workers 60 days notice before a layoff, but tech companies tend to just end their laid-off workers’ jobs immediately and give them 60 days of pay.
Oracle did not immediately respond to SFGATE’s questions about the reason for the cuts and what severance pay these workers might receive. But Bloomberg reported Wednesday that the company was cutting staff from its massive cloud computing unit, including more than 150 workers in Seattle, so it’s likely that the Bay Area cuts were also from that group.
The company is based in Austin but, according to a 2024 statement from co-founder Larry Ellison, it will be moving its headquarters again, to Nashville. Official filings still say Austin.
WARN act NJ Pdf
I swear someone posted it a week or so ago and it said that in jersey city in oct there would ber 50+ layoffs for citigroup, but now if I go to the same url the document has changed.
does anyone know about this?
CA WARN?
Is it true that in CA the last day of employment is 60 days from the day of receiving notification ?
August Layoffs- Be Ready
We are in for another round of layoffs for August.
The company has been slowing spreading them out so they don’t have to legally inform shareholder and follow the WARN act.
They are also making a mandatory Return to Office FULL TIME for 5 days a week. Anyone who doesn’t comply will be fired without severance package.
The next wave I’m also hearing, is those that don’t live near an office will eventually be told they have to relocate to a state/ location where an office is or they will be fired/ let go. It’s a way for them to save more money not having to pay out for severance packages.
With the recent departure of Chris W, it’s only a matter of time the new Customer Experience Officer / Sales Officer Chance replaces every single sales manager with the Street and Fusion leadership.
There are rumors going around that all sales positions will lose benefits and go to 1099 commission only.
You have been warned.
More coming in October

Weaber inc. Choicewood -- oil creek township, pennsylvania
weaber inc. (choicewood) – oil creek township, pennsylvania – hardwood products manufacturer – closing facility at 11117 skyline drive near titusville – closure date august 25, 2025 – 46 employees affected – layoffs between august 25 and september 8 – warn notice filed june 25, 2025 with pennsylvania department of labor & industry
some info on the last cut, left here for posterity.
the 6,000 job cuts will take years to implement, probably until 2028, reductions happening in phases and by department.
dpt heads are given budget cut targets, this translates into headcount cuts, and then negotiate internally on who to cut and when. notifications can be staggered, and different dpts are on different schedules for cuts...
early rounds will target experienced and highly compensated staff...
the potential later re-hiring at lower levels or on contracts.
some sites may be closed and infrastructure may be reducd.
commercial teams are suspected to be next to be hit, with a WARN notice filed for rahway (that is linked below) affecting 58 people in 11/2025 (as part of the first round).....
contractors are already being let go, nobody is surprised. some are not being renewed, also no surprise...
the reduction goal is ~8%, and attrition will account for some cuts, the weak job market means fewer voluntary dptrs.
comms from mgmt is bad bad...

Southwest Key Programs Layoffs
Nearly 1,300 employees of Austin-based Southwest Key Programs will lose their jobs in early October after the federal government ended the nonprofit’s refugee housing contracts amid a long-running abuse scandal. Southwest Key, the largest U.S. operator of shelters for unaccompanied migrant children, had been accused in a now-dropped 2024 Justice Department lawsuit of widespread s-xual abuse at its facilities between 2015 and 2023. Although the case was unexpectedly dismissed in March, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services had already moved all children out of its shelters and pledged to end its contracts. The layoffs, confirmed through mass notices filed with the Texas Workforce Commission on July 31 and August 6, will hit facilities in Austin, El Paso, Los Fresnos, San Benito, Canutillo, McAllen, Weslaco, Channelview, and multiple locations in Houston and Brownsville. Founded in 1987, Southwest Key provides youth and family services, juvenile justice programs, and workforce development, but its shelter operations for migrant children were its most high-profile — and controversial — function. The nonprofit says it is working with federal partners to ensure an orderly transition and praised its staff for their professionalism and compassion.
Cold Chain Technologies Layoffs / Massachusetts
Franklin-based Cold Chain Technologies, a manufacturer of specialized thermal packaging for life sciences and other industries, will permanently end manufacturing at its Massachusetts headquarters this fall and lay off 82 employees between October 1 and year-end, according to a state WARN notice. The company will shift production from its Franklin facility at 135 Constitution Blvd. to other U.S. sites in Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Texas, while retaining some staff locally for unspecified “certain operations.” Cold Chain Technologies also provides digital shipment monitoring services and works with airlines and freight companies. In addition to its Franklin global headquarters, it operates facilities in multiple U.S. states and internationally in the Netherlands, Singapore, Panama, Uruguay, and Brazil.
Marathon Staffing / SAC
Boston-based Marathon Staffing Solutions Inc. has announced it will permanently lay off 71 employees in Northern California on November 7, 2025, according to a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification filing. The cuts include 62 positions in West Sacramento, with the remaining layoffs affecting other parts of the Sacramento Valley.
MINI WARK FOR WA
Washington State has adopted a "mini-WARN Act," joining other states with laws that require advance notice for certain layoffs. The piece falls under Employment Law & Compliance and is aimed at HR professionals needing to stay informed about evolving state-level labor regulations. It highlights the growing trend of state-level protections for workers, similar to the federal WARN Act, and indicates that employers in Washington will now have to meet specific notice requirements before conducting large-scale layoffs.
New WARN notice submitted in Illinois
USA Today reported that on August 6, 2025, a company that was born in Illinois had filed chapter 11 bankruptcy for the 2nd time in seven years. Now, the Illinois Work Net Center site shows there is a new WARN notice submitted to the state warning of a mass layoff affecting 46 workers at Claire's - Hoffman Estates corporate headquarters located at 2400 W Central Road in Hoffman Estates, Illinois. The layoffs are reported to be effective immediately and retroactive to August 4, 2025.

WARN 60 days

Or you can do:
www.thelayoff.com/h/SixtyDays
- Globe Motors, a manufacturing facility in Dothan, Alabama owned by Allied Motion, is set to lay off 73 of its roughly 200 employees.
- The reduction, which affects more than a third of the team, will take effect on July 25. This comes from a #WARN notice submitted on May 27.
- Under the federal WARN Act, companies must give 60 days’ notice for mass layoffs. In this case, the notice was filed 59 days in advance.
- Allied Motion has not offered a reason or responded to repeated requests for comment.
- Globe Motors manufactures specialty motors. It’s unclear at this stage how the layoffs will affect operations.
@OP, I've read your thread on the latest post section. I work at Charles Schwab, things are pretty hectic there as we are expecting significant layoffs for a while now, and I'm really sorry to hear you are experiencing the same. Have the layoffs already started at your place, or you are still waiting another shoe to drop? As for your question about WARN, I'm not really familiar with the CA laws, but you can check these three hashtags #WARN #SixtyDays #SixtyDaysNotice , someone probably covered CA as well.

File today. If you sign an agreement that severance was paid in lieu of notice, then benefits may be delayed 60 days. The April agreement did not say that severance was in lieu of notice and people collected beginning the first full week they were unemployed.

By law they're required to give employees 60 day notice of layoffs. By paying us 8 weeks, they get around this law. It's called pay in lieu of notice. It's not them being compassionate, it's just them avoided lawsuits.

Also, there is a rule 60, meaning that if you provide 60 days of severance (at least) that counts like a 60 day WARN notice.

just tagging this:
The Warn Act does not apply if 1) Less than 50 workers at a single location are let go; 2) If between 50 and 499 workers are let go at a single location and this represents less than 33% of the total workforce at that location.
In other words, for the Warn Act to apply you need > 50 people and greater than 33% of the workers at a single location let go.
