It is Woodridge, IL. It is not Bolingbrook, not Deerfield, not Chicago, DC was 6/29 and it is in the list. If you scroll down to May 23 you'll see 421 for DF and 73 for Chicago. Do the math 421+73=504 exactly what was the layoff back in May. No out of state. More layoff(s) are coming soon to reduce a headcount before coming back to office, and then the total number will be announced on WARN - my guess. Same old, same old...
The WARN report is specific to IL. There are many employees that are remote or in other states that were affected. For instance a huge portion of US Healthcare is outside IL.

DC closure given the location but I could be wrong.
more are coming, get out people. Have some pride, don't them do this to you.
I think Walgreens tricked the system - if there are more than 75 employees total at one location, it has to be posted on WARN if it’s a layoff of 250+ employees at ONE location (I.e. only Deerfield). They split the 267 up between Deerfield and Chicago, so it wasn’t triggered. If there are less than 75 employees at one location, then they post layoffs of 25+). Sneaky…
