Boca office closed? Seeing the WARN notices go out.

Just saw the official WARN filing for the Boca Raton site. 77 people gone as of August 1st. It’s always the same story—leadership talks about 'operational efficiency' and 'realigning resources' while the rest of us just sit here staring at our calendars, waiting for that random calendar invite from HR. Does anyone know if this is strictly site-specific or if there’s a larger wave coming for the manufacturing groups? I feel like we’re all just waiting for the other shoe to drop with the China export restrictions tightening up again. The anxiety is palpable in the Slack channels today, even if nobody is typing anything. If you’re one of the 77, I hope you landed on your feet. Does anyone have word on severance packages, or are they sticking to the bare minimum?

It feels like the standard playbook at this point. They keep using these corporate buzzwords to dress up what is clearly just a cost-cutting measure that leaves everyone else on edge. If you are in manufacturing, stay alert, because these waves rarely stay contained to just one location. It’s hard to stay focused when you’re constantly looking over your shoulder waiting for that surprise HR invite. Honestly, I think the China restrictions are just the convenient excuse they’ve been looking for to trim the headcount everywhere.

I’m sorry to hear about the Boca team. It really sucks when you get blindsided like that, especially with those vague emails about 'realigning resources' sent out right before the ax falls. At this stage, nobody should feel safe until the quarterly projections actually stabilize. The way management handles these departures is always cold and impersonal. Keep your resume polished and start checking your internal networks now, because you’re right—it definitely feels like more cuts are lurking around the corner for other divisions.
