Business is down. Suspecting more cuts. Anyone know how Dell is able to avoid a WARN notice? They did not post one in Texas for 2022 but layoffs were massive.

Yes, the WARN act says they have to give you 60 days notice, but the only penalty stated in the actual law is to pay the equivalent of 60 days salary, minus any actually warning time they did give you. Since Dell's policy has been to pay at least 8 weeks of severance, this "penalty" for violating the law is baked into the package. I've heard this portion shows up a "payment lieu of notice," but I haven't been laid off.....yet.
@1xdl+1lRWpHOb Why does Michael Dell owe you something? Do you not work in exchange for a paycheck you agreed to?
More layoffs are coming. Michael Dell trying to line his pockets at your expense and telling everyone what a great place Dell is to work at
either 2 months warning or two months pay.
they do the latter by default then tack some on based on your years of service and call it severance.
Doesn't the WARN Act apply to facilities and not individuals working from home as remote employees?
How about they laid you off and signed all paperwork as required and after 30 days still no severance package pay? Now claiming, they can't find it and I need to re-submit. I do not want to kick in another 30 day waiting period.
Any suggestions - this is regarding Dell!
Penalties aren't significant and no one in management goes to jail. Like most corporate laws, other than insider trading, who cares.
What are you hearing on more cuts coming?
They did what the great Elon did with Twitter.
He and Dell just pay out a severance which would amount to the penalty that would occur with WARN
also avoids the media show of a drawn out layoff announcements by big corp .
they are waring you but just paying you to leave and leave fast.
Same for NY... no WARn, yet layoffs occurred.
