I was laid off in July 2024, but was kept on with a training retention bonus and severance until Jan 2025, with medical benefits extended to June 2025 to train my replacement in the India operations center.

This is ancient History. Nothing to do with today's events. There will be new WARN filing probably later this week to cover today's RIF.

Does that mean additional layoffs on those dates? Or that's when the retention expires for those who were impacted by the Feb layoff?

Some people of the RIF'd employees are training their replacements in India. If they don't do that, they do not get their severance.

Why take the slow and painful approach and have three rounds as a part of the single layoff? Employees obviously will have their work suffer due to worry about monthly layoffs. This company’s strategy or lack there of is always amazing to me.
