How many employees did Basking Ridge office have before Nov 20th layoff?
According to AI, it houses 6000 people. What percentage of the total is the 1319 people they laid-off?
Just wondering, because I read about a WARN Notice investigation online.

From Verizon:
Severance pay calculation - The program formula: If you become eligible for benefits under this severance program, your severance pay amount is calculated using this formula:
Your years of service TIMES
Your weekly compensation
TIMES 2
My severance document is split into “State Required Severance Pay” and “Final Severance Pay” - it looks like they’re using the NJ WARN Pay as part of the severance instead of in-addition-to. That doesn’t seem right?
Both Merck and BMS filed WARN notices for upcoming layoffs in New Jersey. The cuts reflect portfolio shifts and cost restructuring.
I am fortunate NJ provides protection that requires VZ to keep me on the payroll a bit longer.
Would it make sense to increase our 401(k) contributions for the almost two months in 2026 we get paid in NJ so we get more of the VZ 6% match? Or am I overthinking things?
Horizon is laying off 300 employees come Jan
Both NY and NJ have 90 requirements for WARN notices. How is Verizon justifying some NYers staying on until 12/19 while NJers stay on until 2/19?
Any one knows whats the last date for Texas & Florida employees? I heard for NJ it’s 02/20 (3 months) due to WARN act.
Last day Feb 20th
Employed through 2/20 per NJ Law. Severance portal opens at 1ET. EPP extended 1yr though so...woohoo.
Anyone from Basking Ridge location scared? I keep seeing Lake Mary and multiple other offices in this thread that may or may not be closed eventually or teams that are told to be WFH but haven’t seen much or any posts on NJ location. Any teams in NJ scared of what’s coming? Are we people in tax going to be affected?
When does Verizon notify the New Jersey state regarding the number of people being laid-off and the date when they get laid off or the date they are off payroll? Currently, I don't see Verizon on the NJ WARN Notice for 2025 for Nov'25 or Dec'25 or 2026.

Has Verizon already notified other states of the upcoming layoffs? Is it listed in your states WARN notice?

If I’m reading this correctly, if you work in NJ, they need to notify us 90 days in advance to avoid penalty. Do does this mean anyone told on 11/20 would be on the payroll for 90 days in NJ?
Heard Jeff’s vest was in NJ today. Who’s got the T? What did he say?
I am trying to evaluate an offer from AT&T, and I'm hoping you guys can help me understand what the internal range is. The offer is for a software engineering role in Middletown NJ, for $255k base salary. Where does this fall in the band for Principal Member of Technical Staff? Do most principal engineers at AT&T make more or less than this? I know people on this board are obviously unhappy with the company, but I think I am willing to put up with the annoyances that I've read about on here.
Anyone know how to find out how many people total (not names) were Surplus in the November 6th Layoff. Warn was not triggered but I know alot of NJ people like myself who were let go, trying to see whether total was over 50, have not signed my GR&W yet trying to see what is up with this first
I’ve seen some previous posts on NJ WARN but no real clarification on whether VZ has filed/notified. Sounds like they have been able to skirt this in the past, but I assume not this time with significant layoffs happening in a 30 day period.
Why do New Jersey full line Macy's always seem to avoid the chopping block? This has been the case since 2017. It is the market the stores are in?
Remain off the roads-so does that mean we all WFH on Monday?
TRENTON – Acting Governor Tahesha Way today declared that New Jersey will enter a State of Emergency at 10:00 p.m. on Saturday, October 11, 2025 in preparation for a dangerous nor’easter storm expected to hit the state on Sunday, October 12 and continue into Monday, October 13. Parts of the state are forecasted to experience moderate to major coastal flooding, instances of inland flash flooding, sustained winds of up to 60 mph, localized precipitation of up to five inches, and very high surf potentially causing significant beach erosion and dune breaching. Executive Order No. 399 declares a State of Emergency across all 21 counties in New Jersey.
“Starting on Sunday, a dangerous coastal storm will begin to move past our state with extreme weather conditions for several counties, especially those on the Shore,” said Acting Governor Way. “In preparation for this storm, I am issuing a State of Emergency for all 21 counties out of an abundance of caution, authorizing our state’s emergency services personnel to activate as necessary. I urge all New Jerseyans to exercise caution, monitor local weather forecasts and warnings, stay informed on evacuation protocols, and remain off the roads unless absolutely necessary.”
Executive Order No. 399 will remain in effect until it is determined that an emergency no longer exists.
What is the plan for Monday? Governor extended it to Monday.

JP Morgan has announced another round of layoffs expected to happen by the end of November, impacting employees in Jersey City.
YNAP corp. is also reported to be facing some financial challenges and plans to close its US office by Nov. 15th.
Also, BioReference Health layoffs are expected to end by mid-September laying off 69 employees in Elmwood Park.
We need to finish this headcount reduction that Stankey wants quicker rather than dragging it out. It’s like peeling a bandage quickly vs peeling it slowly and feeling the pain of arm hairs getting pulled.
Once the headcount is where it needs to be, then there will be less of a focus on a 5 day RTO and we will get the flexible schedule back. It is just the people that are working hard out of non-hub cities - anything outside of Dallas, Atlanta, NJ to be honest - that are holding us back at this point. Either relocate to Dallas, Atlanta, NJ or leave as Stankey is mentioning. Yet yall stay and we all get punished by Stankey for it.
Our building in NJ has 3 out of 5 floors being demolished, and all of us need to show up every day and breathe the contaminated air, odor, asbestos, dust and hazardous materials.
Why they make us take so many classes to deal with emergencies when they create those themselves.
How come nobody calls the NJ OSHA?
Close down NJ, call us back when all the work is done,
all the ducts, and filters are clean.
Bonus for P3 P4 NJ?
So not that I wish it but I did contact NJ police unemployment office!!So they gave a ton of info ,but advised as a technician if we went on strike we would absolutely be able to collect the max weekly amount of $ 900 a week !!If they had management or contractors trying to fill our jobs as in the past we would not have a waiting period it would be immediate collect.So just planning on getting things in order paying some stuff saving some money along with preparing for the worst hoping for the best !One things for sure it is a big relief now that we finally have the right in nj to collect when on strike
