Very quiet this morning... calm before the storm perhaps?

As long as they pay for the 60 days plus benefits accurred (keeping on the books) it does not go against the WARN Act. Typically companies use the "payment in leiu of notice" tactic in situations where sensitive property is at stake.
By keeping people on the books for awhile, they don't have to report the layoff in advance. That's what they did the last time.
According to the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN Act), legally SeaWorld is required to give a 60 day notice of any mass layoffs effecting 50+ people within a 30 day time period. That hasn't happened. Perhaps it's built into the severance packages, but if not, there are grounds for lawsuits.
But despite this information, the rumor is tomorrow's the day for mass cuts.
Haven't heard anything
Gotta keep the shareholders happy, even at the expense of the hardworking, guest facing people on the front line. Welcome to capitalism in 2016.
Tuesday. Seems like the senior management team keeps laying off staff. Perhaps they can't do their job and need to go. Anybody can get rid of staff to make the numbers, even a frog. Try thinking out of the box. But it might affect the bonus.
It seems quiet.
Tomorrow
Nothing in Tampa as well
