There were mentions last week, but nothing since it truly started. Or I'm missing it.

It’s bc Comcast rn owns the media (NBCU) and owns the journalists who want media access that Comcast can give them. Thats why.
@a2 inquirer??? Huh….
@OP It was on the front page of LinkedIn news on Monday, wouldn't say that's low coverage.
How about the fact there was zero mentions in the media about the accidental firings of thousands of people that happen last month. Thousands were emailed they were done and turn in their assets. How did that not make the media lol!!!
@a7 For the state, yes. But, not for the Fed.
@a3 That’s not entirely accurate. They gave 60 days notice because that is what’s required when you hit the laid off number that triggers WARN. However, they don’t have to file the WARN notice until 12/31. So they still have to file it but not until everyone’s last day. It’s at that point that media will start to pick up the story.
@a3 they don’t want to be “that” company participating in selling out US domestic workers
@OP The word is that Comcast gave their employees pay until 12/31 which means that they fulfilled the requirements of the federal WARN act. So really, they don’t have to file with the federal government the number of people who got laid off. And the Federal WARN notice is how many in the media get the number assessment.
Personally, I don’t know why Comcast is so secretive about layoffs. Generally, a published number of layoffs usually causes a company’s stock to rise. Investors think you are trimming the fat. Go figure.
I heard the Inquirer has been making calls. Didn’t realize they were still in business.
