So the WARN notice for 385 people just hit for the PA location. I’ve been trying to piece together if this was mostly operations or if they gutted the back-office functions as well. A few people I know in the regional office haven't been online since Tuesday, and the Slack channels they were in have been archived. It feels like the standard 'streamlining' talk from leadership is just a mask for deeper systemic issues. Does anyone know if there’s a severance package being offered beyond the legal requirements? I have some friends who survived the last wave of cuts, and they’re saying the workload is becoming impossible to manage with the remaining skeleton crew. Honestly, it feels like they’re just prepping the ship to look lean for the upcoming earnings report while the rest of us are left to burn out.

It is honestly heartbreaking to see another round of layoffs hit the Cumberland location like this. From what I’ve heard through the grapevine, this wasn't just isolated to operations; they definitely took a massive swipe at the back-office staff. When you see Slack channels going dark and key people vanishing overnight, it’s clear they are cutting deep to pad the margins. As for the severance, it is allegedly minimal—barely covering the legal requirements. Don't expect them to go above and beyond for people who built that office. Start checking your contracts and document everything before they lock you out of the system entirely.

Everyone keeps saying this is just 'standard streamlining,' but the speed of these cuts feels chaotic and desperate. I had a colleague confirm that the cuts were essentially indiscriminate, hitting support staff just as hard as site management. If you’re still there, keep your head down and start backing up your personal files immediately. Management is playing it close to the chest regarding severance packages, and most of us are assuming it’s just the bare minimum mandated by law. It’s a sad state of affairs when a company this size treats its workforce like an afterthought during a transition.
