  I imagine the overwhelming majority of employees are not getting any kind of severance.

  And severance pay and notice of layoffs are de facto fairly common in corporate America.

    Notice of layoffs and layoff severance are required by WARN act. It’s not just a defacto thing, it was a hard fought victory for labor rights

      WARN Only kicks in at a 100 people or more laid off, and it only goves you 60 days notice, not any extra pay or benefits.

      Its basically the least they can do, and the 100 person threshold gives lots of Orgs plently of room to skirt it by doing small, and steady layoffs instead.

        Couldn’t he phrase it as “you will be laid off in 60 days and you’re getting 60 days of bonus PTO”? I don’t see the issue with no warning if they still get paid.
