Just be careful with your posts. Hacks leaking all of your and their data.

With many people being remote, etc. I would not be surprised if 50+ from the same physical office was laid off. From what I read, full time remote jobs do not count towards that 50+ required:

1,500 out of 8,500-9,500 is a pretty big chunk.

No WARN because I doubt it was 50+ people at any single site of employment.

If so many are being cut.. why wasn’t a WARN notice required?

All those complaining of not getting picked, plan a way out. You're not getting Jack worth of a severance anyway, except your paid out vacation time and the lousy sub pay.
So find something else, even in a different industry and leave on your terms.

Are you stating the obvious or you just purposely late for this announcement?
