Is this a layoff or are they firing people.

Employees aren’t being impacted in a lot of cases. Positions are being adjusted.
In New Jersey they must abide by WARN act if axing 50 or more employees within the state, not per location. Right to work states such as Texas don’t have this provision. Neither does Georgia. Maybe a factor in the major hub location decision
The internal severance document basically states the AT&T severance will be reduced by any legally mandated severance :(
When you live in a business unfriendly state like NJ it’s necessary to have worker protection laws to keep the few jobs we have left. I’m no Democrat, but the new severance law is benefitting all of us here.
I found this interesting - NJ WARN Act
NJ WARN now requires that the employer pay one week of severance for each year of service to each terminated employee, automatically and
* without conditioning such severance on the employee’s execution of a release of employment claims. *
(This was previously the penalty for failure to give the required notice to employees, but now applies even if the employer gives timely notice of the layoff);

ATT has 74 people for layoffs on the NJ WARN list.
