Anyone else tracking the Romulus site closure?

Just saw the WARN notice for the Michigan office. 122 people out the door in one go. It’s strange because we haven't heard much internal chatter about the Romulus site specifically, but seeing triple digits on a state notice is always a gut punch. Is anyone here actually based out of that hub? Trying to figure out if this is just a localized consolidation or if this is the start of a broader 'efficiency' wave for the quarter. Leadership is still acting like everything is business as usual during the all-hands, but the math just doesn't add up when you start seeing these filings pop up in states where we’re supposed to be scaling. If you're affected, check your severance packages—I know a few people who managed to negotiate an extra month of COBRA last time around. Stay safe out there.

That number is definitely alarming, but honestly, it feels like the start of a trend. Whenever leadership starts preaching about 'operational efficiency' while keeping their cameras off during all-hands meetings, you know exactly what’s coming next. It’s never just one office. I’ve seen this script play out at other firms before the big layoffs ripple across the entire organization. Start updating your resume now and keep your eyes peeled for internal memos about restructuring—if you haven't already, make sure you've backed up any personal documents you might need.

I'm at a different site, but the atmosphere here is just as tense. Everyone knows something is brewing, even if the higher-ups are burying their heads in the sand. It’s incredibly frustrating that we have to find out about these cuts through state labor notices instead of getting some actual transparency from the top. If they’re cutting over a hundred people in Romulus, it’s hard to believe they’re stopping there. Definitely feels like the calm before a much bigger storm. Stay sharp and reach out to those affected if you have their contact info.
