Just saw the official WARN notice update for the Miramar site. It’s confirmed—32 of us are out on October 1st. Honestly, the writing has been on the wall since the Q2 push for 'operational efficiencies,' but it still stings when it’s finally in print. If you’re in the Miramar hub, start checking your calendars and refreshing your networks now. Don't wait for the awkward 'all-hands' meeting or the calendar invite from HR to magically appear. Does anyone know if there’s a severance package being offered, or are they sticking to the bare minimum? I’ve been trying to gauge the temperature, but everyone is keeping their heads down. If you’re affected, reach out. It’s a rough market, but we’ve got to stick together.

I'm sorry to hear this, but thanks for the heads-up. The corporate talk about 'operational efficiencies' is always just a fancy way of saying they are cutting costs at our expense. It’s brutal that they dragged this out. For the severance, check your original offer letter or the employee handbook on the portal before they lock your access. Most of the time, they have a standard formula based on years of service, but keep your documentation saved off-site just in case. Focus on your LinkedIn connections now and good luck with the search.

That’s a tough situation, and seeing the WARN notice makes it hit home. It’s unfortunate how they handle these transitions, keeping everyone in the dark until the very last second. If you haven't received official paperwork yet, reach out to your department lead directly if you have a decent relationship with them. Otherwise, prioritize getting your contact list and portfolio materials secured while you still have access. Don't let them leave you hanging; keep pushing HR for the details on the severance terms so you can plan your next move accordingly.
