I don't know how many, but that Feb 1st date is the day the compensation package gets cut in half. Instead of two weeks per year it's down to one, no $1000 signing bonus to not sue them, and no grandfathering of employees. I'm guessing that's specifically to get old timers to press to be let go before that date to lower payroll. Lot cheaper to hire someone new to do your job if you've been here 10, 15, even 20+ years. Easier to take that one time severance hit.
