Was the Oct-2025 RIF in compliance with the WARN Act? At least one law firm is investigating and below is the introductory paragraph from their notice. I've also recently heard more RIFs have take place this week and do not know the scale of the action. For any current and former Hitachi Vantara workers weigh your options.
"On October 31, 2025, Hitachi Vantara notified the California Employment Development Department of its decision to conduct a mass layoff at its facility in Santa Clara, California. The federal law, known as the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act, requires covered employers to provide 60 days’ prior written notice to employees, their representatives, and certain government parties in the event of a mass layoff or plant closing. We are investigating whether Hitachi Vantara failed to provide at least 60 days’ notice before laying off 129 employees and, therefore, violated the WARN Act."

I have seen a ton of posts where people simply cut and paste the Federal WARN procedeure, but nobody can seem to explain something simple. Note to self: Please do not cut and paste the WARN rules here and waste all of our time reading it again! Let me give you a scenario. I live and work in NC. Verizon has several large offices in the state. If Verizon lays off less than 500 people at any one location in NC will I receive 30 or 60 days on payroll with the WARN? I have heard it defaults back to the state law and supersedes the Federal and I have also heard that Verizon normally gives 60 days, unless you are in a state with mini-warn like NJ which is 90 days. Anybody know the answer or do I have to wait until 11/20 to find out.
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?
Please don't rip my head off for this post. I have read the act and the "single site/location" of 500 or more employees confuses me. Im not a damn lawyer. I'm in a state that falls under the Federal guidelines of 60 days. Any wisdom if Vz will have to follow this law? (Bracing for incoming fire)
Verizon has not officially filed a public WARN notice for mass layoffs in 2025, although there are reports that the company is preparing for restructuring, staff cuts, and retail store closures. Verizon is also cutting about 2,500 jobs as part of a plan to reduce its workforce by 5% over 12 to 18 months, notes Workforce Bulletin. In September 2025, Ohio enacted its own "mini-WARN" Act, which supplements federal WARN requirements for mass layoff events.
Company news and reports
Reported layoffs: Verizon is reportedly preparing for significant staff cuts and retail store closures as part of a broader restructuring initiative, according to The Economic Times.
Workforce reduction plan: In March 2025, the company revealed plans to lay off about 2,500 employees, or 5% of its workforce, over the next 12 to 18 months, reports Fierce Network.
What is a WARN notice?
A WARN (Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification) notice is a US federal law that requires employers to provide workers with at least 60 days' advance notice of plant closings or mass layoffs, explains the U.S. Department of Labor.
The notice provides employees with time to prepare for job loss and seek alternative employment, says Cincinnati Enquirer.
State-level WARN acts
Ohio: On September 29, 2025, Ohio joined 13 other states by enacting a "mini-WARN" Act, which supplements federal WARN notice requirements for employers in the state, notes Workforce Bulletin.
California: In October 2025, California expanded its Cal-WARN Act with the signing of Senate Bill 617, expanding the state's requirements starting in January 2026, reports California Employment Law Report.
Honest question. How does Verizon circumvent both Federal and State Law to RIF? How are they allowed not to be required to submit notice to WARN Act States?
So to sum it up, not a bright story tho... Layoffs at D&B started last week, WFH folks got hammered the most... We dont have the final number, it's likely between 150 to 200 employees.
Dpts with reported hits are: Product, Sales, Delivery, Cybersecurity, and IT. There were some smaller cuts Dublin and there are rumots that Canada is next.
No WARN notices have been filed, this probably means that no more than 50 folks were cut at a single location. Folks with long tenures got decent severance, it su-ked for folks that joned recently.
The patterns continue, micromanagement, privacy invasion, mandatory cameras, weekly work reports, Sapience tracking software use etc. Big Brother is watching. Also, C-level continues to su-k ba--s and Clearlake Capital is calling shots... They are loading us w/high debt, they are milking cash flow, our AI is just stupid (heh) and customers are not stupid, so they are not buying it. Toxic culture reins supreme.
We'll VERY likely see additonal cuts next year, they will keep restructuring and selling asset.
Will it be out next week?
Some people are eligible for the annual bonus and others aren’t. Does anyone know why?
As for the Warn notice, aren’t they supposed to pay extra for this?
Please be kind I feel d-mb for not quite understanding this. So Warn act gives me 13 weeks till Jan 30th but where does severance come into play? Does it start right after the 30th? If it’s 2 weeks for every year I should be getting 8 weeks. And the there is this whole business with signing the agreement in a “timely manner” and they will give an additional weeks pay?! The email from HR with all the docs was a bit confusing
