Where the Layoffs Are—Is Your Firm on the List?

[quote=paramount]Escaped the 3rd round of layoffs today – large defense contractor in RB.

Today’s RIF was about 50 people or so.[/quote]

I mean this in a good way…Start looking now even though you survived round three. I am pretty certain this is just the start, and they are just staggering out the rif’s. It’s almost certain there will be successive ones in the very near future. Side note….A bay area division is also shutting down and relocating to Virginia… Folks that relo get to keep their jobs, so I’m told. You can confirm this yourself….

Nice FLU. If it’s not showing up on the WARN list was it less than 50? Actually from what I see if a company announces layoffs, hands out pink slips, but there is some kind of severance, (say 2 months for the fun of it), the actual WARN notice can be put out two months from today right?

This is 100% correct – no WARN notices but layoff victims get 60 days severance. Actually, as I understand the state did impose a penalty on our company even though they were providing 60 months pay.

Here’s how I view the layoffs:

1. No charge number for an extended period of time -> your getting RIFed. They will give you a few months to get on a new project, but if you don’t get picked up your gone.

2. Like flu said a lot of operations are moving back east (in our case) – if you happen to be in a group that is being relocated or consolidated usually to the DC area you are very vulnerable.

3. I also watched them slash and thrash through middle management as well.

As for me I have been looking, but as we all know it’s a tough job market. Not to mention I owe more on my house than it’s worth even though I bought nearly 7 years ago.

I’ve seen these games played so many times … If I were to guess, I’d say it’s not showing up under WARN because the RIF probably fell under the magic number…(The first two RIFs I believe was over the number so there was a WARN reporting for those)…And like I said, this most likely isn’t the last one. You can put two and two together….That’s all i have to say for now. I don’t want them to change what I think they are trying to do. In fact, I want them to walk right into it, if you know what I mean.

Note to self: add this company to my personal blacklist of companies never to work for. HP is another company that is on the top of my list.
