You can go to a variety of sites and see numbers and details about layoffs at all kinds of companies. Indeed, there are laws (WARN act) that say companies need to declare layoffs about a certain number.
This year alone, starting with the ~1500 layoffs in January, an estimate I have heard is 5000 layoffs at Corning. And yet - nowhere is that publicly noted by the company, not in communications meetings internally (the most we here is a singular vague 'workforce reductions'), and evidently things have been arranged in a way that they've avoided having to issue WARN act announcements while cutting ~40% of CPT Durham.
Why is Corning so opaque in this regard? Do they think that issuing generic platitudes and not talking about the actual situation helps rather than leading to MORE hallway conversations and angst about impact? What are your thoughts?
