Just wanted to share some concrete info for those asking about the recent WARN filing. It’s officially 63 people affected as of the mid-March timeline, though most of us saw the writing on the wall back in January. It’s a mix of roles, mostly tied to the shifts we were warned might be consolidated. The mood in the facility is absolutely gutted. For the folks who were let go, the severance package is pretty standard for the industry—standard pay-out plus extended benefits—but it’s cold comfort for people who have been loyal to the company for a decade or more. I’ve spoken to a few of the affected colleagues, and there’s a lot of anger about how the communication was handled. It felt like a corporate script instead of a real conversation. If you’re at another site, keep your eyes open. This feels like the start of a broader push to trim costs to keep the margin growth looking pretty for the street. Good luck to everyone currently scrambling.

I'm sorry to hear that. It’s always devastating when a company like Church & Dwight pulls the rug out from under their staff, especially after the warning signs were ignored for so long. Standard severance feels like a slap in the face when you’ve put in years of hard work only to be consolidated away. I really hope everyone affected can find something stable soon, because this market isn't making it easy on anyone right now.

Thanks for providing some clarity on the actual numbers. It’s a shame to see another facility in Lancaster hit with these kinds of cuts. While management might call this a strategic adjustment, it’s clearly a huge blow to the local workforce. Sending strength to the team; losing your livelihood on the back of a corporate restructuring is incredibly draining. Hopefully, the community pulls together to help those who were caught in this latest round of layoffs.
