to my desk and identified herself as Oracle HR. She handed me a 4-page document. HR women told me it was a layoff notice she was handing me and said it is also referred to as a warn, whatever that means.

Been seeing a lot of comments on earlier posts about rumors of layoffs. Was wondering if there is a similar pattern between now and the last significant layoff in 2023? Just want to be prepared and not caught off guard. Thanks! (Apparently PNC didn’t file warn notice for that round)

I work in St Louis. My manager told me today he's checking to see if they want me gone before my 60 days are up.

Can Boeing push employees out sooner before their 60 days are up?
Do you get paid for the 60 days if they push you out?

Grok Summary:

• The post signals renewed layoff activity at Citigroup based on user reports and traffic surges on TheLayoff.com, aligning with the bank's multi-year plan to cut 20,000 jobs by end-2026 through restructuring and cost efficiencies.

• January 2026 saw 1,000 roles eliminated, with March targeting managing directors and senior staff in areas like KYC and AML, as confirmed by Reuters and Bloomberg reports, amid AI automation and offshoring to sites like Costa Rica.

• Employee discussions highlight risks for transformation and consent order roles, including 141 New Jersey positions via WARN notices for May-June separations, reflecting broader banking sector pressures on non-core functions.

• Key details on KYC-related layoffs in 2026 include:*

• Onshore KYC impacts in Florida: Recent reports indicate layoffs in KYC teams (including KYC Cards) in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Tampa. The work is reportedly being offshored to Costa Rica, with users noting struggles in handling cases post-transition due to cost-cutting priorities.

• KYC Small Business in San Antonio: An entire department (around 35 people) was reportedly laid off following a department-wide meeting (noted around a 10 AM Central time slot with a C14-level executive).

• Broader compliance/AML ties: Discussions mention AML (Anti-Money Laundering) impacts in locations like Tampa, often bundled with KYC under compliance/transformation efforts. Earlier threads queried whether KYC/AML teams (e.g., in Charlotte, NC) would be hit in March or June waves.

• Related WARN filings: Citigroup filed WARN notices in New Jersey affecting 141 employees, with separations scheduled between May 21 and June 14, 2026 (statewide, including Jersey City). These are part of the ongoing restructuring but not explicitly tied to KYC in public filings - though compliance roles often fall under such cuts.

I see categories for 0-10. Seems to me, if only 1 or 2 people in a site were laid off, they'd fit in that 0-10 category and be listed? Wondering how or when WF files, or what the rules are. I was let go on 9/30/25 but don't see anything on WARN for my location.

Yes — **Verizon Communications has WARN Act filings listed for 2026 at its Basking Ridge, New Jersey location. Public state WARN tracking data shows two separate notices for that location in 2026 — one in February 2026 and another dated November 1, 2026 — both affecting around 1,319 employees. 

Here’s what that means:
• Yes, they filed a WARN Act notice in 2026 for Basking Ridge.
• These filings indicate planned workforce reductions that the company notified to the state.
• WARN notices give advance notice (typically 60 days) before large layoffs are carried out. 

So the answer is yes — Verizon has WARN Act filings in 2026 for that office. 

If you want more details on what a WARN filing entails for employees (notice period, benefits, etc.), I can explain that too.
