Publishing the public WARN notice the same day employees are notified is 60 day notice. laying off every two weeks doesn't "get around" WARN - the notice period is WARN compliant.
If you look up the origins of WARN, it came about because large companies that dominated employment in relatively small towns/cities would just close up a location/factory or the entire company with no notice. Employees showed up at work and didn't have a job, and there was no such thing as severance. WARN says an employer that is laying off more than 100 people it must give 60 days notice and pay for 60 days.

It looks like they've been doing layoffs for almost decades.
