My spouse was laid off from Optical Communications in Wilmington, NC on 6/27, after working nearly two decades for Corning. A 5% layoff had been previously announced (internally) but was not mentioned in the Q2 press release on 7/25.

So sorry to hear about this! Hope you are back on your feet doing ok.
I had heard internally about that layoff (through SP, gossip central), but in terms of reporting there was also a nearly 50% layoff in CPT Durham and 25% in CLS Durham simultaneously which should have been easily large enough to trigger the state's reporting laws but somehow it wasn't made public under the WARN act. Seems like there is something being done to satisfy the letter but not intent of laws in NC and NY.
