How is it that there has been no warn notice?

Oregon companies only have to file a WARN notice if they lay off over 500 employees in a 90 day rolling period.
They were saying it has become useless with respect to its original intent, which was to WARN people.
WARN act is not useless. It has force corporations to pay everyone at least 2 months pay. Imagine some one moving to Oregon to join Nike and then getting laid off within few months because some stupid exec decided to cut cost or do a reorg. The minimum 2 months is helpful.
Tesla changed the game with warn notices.
It is irrelevant if you pay the employee during the notice period of 60 days. Once Nike, and others, made that the minimum severance period, the warn act became kind of useless.
Under 500 people were laid off
First time?
I wonder the same thing. Even if the impacted people are on payroll until September, isn't Nike still obligated to notify 60 days ahead?
Because everyone who departed is technically still employed through early September.
