Thread regarding Cox Automotive layoffs

Coronavirus layoffs - All contractors canned

The word came down Tuesday that Cox Auto has laid off its entire contractor workforce. At least that is what my boss told me.

I happen to know 2 employees who are contractors and are still working for them, so either a few strings were pulled to make exceptions in their case, or my team was lied to by my boss so he could save face.

Always make a backup plan.

A few of the contractors were able to stay in my BU, but thats only because we've been staffing projects 100% with contractors and some of those projects couldn't be cancelled.

My team was told the same thing. There may be exceptions in a few cases, but I think, for the most part, all contractors are gone.

Does anyone know anything about layoffs for full-time Cox employees? Sandy's email hinted that layoffs may be necessary but we haven't heard anything else in two weeks. I am wondering whether to start making a backup plan.
