Are we done with layoffs for this year?

Looking for reasons to stay vs daring to leave

Why do I not see WARN notices from our company? checked 3-4 state portals adn nothing I see notices from every other company that's laying people off. I assumed it was a requirement.

Lumen has $ billions in federal contracts, grants and subsidies. What are the impacts on those contracts, grants and subsidies if they are not meeting federal guidelines for recruiting and retaining veterans (see VEVRAA)?
