“The WARN Act offers protection to workers, their families, and communities by requiring employers to give a 60-day notice to the affected employees and to both state and local representatives prior to a plant closing or mass layoff.”
So far Nike has not filed a WARN notice. Should we expect to see it if anything happens?
Hey everyone, I’ve been keeping a close eye on the layoff situation at CVS, but I’ve noticed something strange: there haven't been any major WARN notices filed lately. Given the restructuring talk we heard last year, I’m trying to make sense of this.
Does the lack of filings mean the company is actually doing well and the 'efficiency' goals were met without more cuts? Or is this a sign that the broader economy is stabilizing? I’d love to hear if anyone inside the company has insight into whether more rounds are coming or if we're finally in the clear.

Strauss Borrelli PLLC is investigating First Brands Group. This inquiry concerns Hopkins Manufacturing Corporation's recent mass layoff.

I think they will be announced by April 27-28. That would allow the layoffs to wrap up before the start of Q4 while also giving 60 days of notice under the California WARN Act. They did the same thing in 2023. Hang in there, everyone.

BNY Mellon’s significance on this forum is clear: the forum has become a real‑time barometer of employee sentiment, revealing a workforce that perceives the bank’s strategy as dominated by cost‑cutting, stealth layoffs, cultural deterioration, and leadership distrust. The volume, tone, and consistency of posts signal reputational, operational, and talent‑retention risks that BNY cannot ignore.
1. Stealth Layoffs & WARN Avoidance
Numerous posts allege unannounced, rolling layoffs, often tied to:
RTO policy enforcement
Performance review manipulation
Site closures (e.g., Pennington)
Employees repeatedly claim BNY is circumventing WARN Act notifications by staggering terminations and using “performance” as a pretext.
2. Labor Arbitrage as Core Strategy
Threads explicitly describe BNY’s operating model as:
“If someone, somewhere, can do it cheaper, that’s where the work goes.”
Offshoring, contractor freezes, and AI‑driven job elimination are recurring themes.
Employees see this as systemic, not cyclical—a permanent shift in workforce philosophy.
3. Leadership Distrust & Cultural Breakdown
Robin Vince (RV) is a central figure in discussions, often portrayed as:
Detached from employee reality
Focused on cost‑savings and personal compensation
Culture is described as toxic, demoralizing, and psychologically unsafe, with morale at “historic lows.”
4. RTO We-ponization
RTO dashboards, “red periods,” and inconsistent enforcement are cited as:
Tools to push out employees
Methods to avoid severance
Many posts describe RTO as a layoff mechanism, not a business need.
5. Operational Instability
Reports of:
Unresponsive or dysfunctional teams
Leadership churn
Poor communication around relocations and site closures
Employees describe the environment as chaotic and directionless.
What This Means for BNY Mellon
1. Reputational Risk
TheLayoff.com is heavily trafficked by job seekers, analysts, and journalists.
The persistent negativity shapes external perception of BNY as a troubled employer.
2. Talent Flight
High performers openly discuss:
Practicing interviews on company time
Planning exits
Warning others away from applying
This accelerates brain drain and raises replacement costs.
3. Strategic Execution Risk
A demoralized workforce undermines:
AI transformation
Client service
Operational resilience
Regulatory compliance
BNY’s own employees describe the bank as “McKinsey’s magnum opus of misery.”
4. Legal & Regulatory Exposure
Frequent references to:
Wrongful termination
Forced ranking
WARN circumvention
Discriminatory practices
…suggest heightened class‑action and regulatory risk.
Bottom-Line
Discussion on this forum portrays BNY Mellon as an institution in cultural and operational decline, driven by aggressive cost‑cutting, offshoring, and leadership detachment.
For analysts, journalists, and job seekers, the site functions as a candid, unfiltered window into a workforce that feels expendable, unheard, and increasingly hostile toward senior leadership.
RIF end of May off the books end of June.
There are enough warn notices that are circulating (state wise) that show execution dates ending till june 2026, so this is not yet over and hence no official communication of all things done - even VP+ who are trying to calm the waters are doing just that - calm the waters, but the sharks are still circling and the reports of 30K with only 12K executed with respect to RIF shows that a larger cut is coming. You bosses have lied to you before many times and are still lying!! If you are not out yet, you are still at risk - 18K is 10% of the current workforce and that is a large risk especially for people over 45, people at IC level with higher pay, people in SaaS/OCI, Sales are almost always risky, but app support is bad now.

Clintwood JOD LLC faces a lawsuit from former employees. About 300 workers were laid off without adequate notice. The suit alleges violations of the WARN Act. This act requires 60 days' notice for mass layoffs. The company recently entered bankruptcy proceedings.
Pikeville, Kentucky
https://www.kentucky.com/news/business/article315247797.html
March 31 - April 10th is not some states required 60 days. Even if you count garden leave you would have to be for more than 3+ years to be over 60 days in weeks?
By being secretive and not spooking the shareholders on the depth of the layoffs -- 18%--is Oracle management being too cute by half?
By not filing WARN (over 50 employees at one location) or information under OWBPA (Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, which applies when employees over 40 years old are laid off) they are laying themselves wide open for a barrage of lawsuits.

I was Rif’d today. California in-office employee. I am only getting thru April 10th. I am not a remote worker. How am I not eligible for WARN?
Like many of you, I got my notice earlier this morning. The attached paperwork said my last day on the books is 4/10, however I was expecting a 60 day notice due out of Redwood Shores to the WARN Act, but I am considered a remote employee. Is anyone else in this boat? Do you think Oracle is getting around the CA WARN act somehow ?
NJ WARN is 90 days but remote employees is a grey area.. But some remote employees in WA state got Jun 1 as the last day while NJ folks got only two weeks.
NJ needs 50 employees to trigger the law and all layoffs across the whole NJ state is covered and layoffs within 30 days.
Any idea how to notify the NJ DOL WARN about non-compliance ? Oracle had 900-950 employees in NJ pre layoffs.

Who wants to join me in the fight to get a 90 day notice period from Oracle ?
I see so much confusion about WARN notice on this board:
The WARN Act applies to employers with over 100 full-time employees who are planning a mass layoff at a single site of employment.
So if you are (or were) WFH, WARN does not apply to you. (unless you have a hundred coworkers as roommates in your house)
Takeda Pharmaceutical filed a WARN Act notice confirming 634 U.S. job cuts. Of these, 247 positions are at its Cambridge, Massachusetts headquarters.

The cuts address revenue shortfalls following Vyvanse genericization.
