A WARN notice is the advance warning an employer must file with a state labor department before a mass layoff, generally 60 days ahead. 200 jobs announced today, corroborated Counted only where two independent newsrooms printed the same figure.

Not counted, because their published data is more than three weeks behind: Texas (last filing 2026-06-23). A state that has stopped publishing has not stopped laying people off, so leaving it out beats counting it as a zero. Unreachable when this page was built: Oregon.

Apple cut 200 jobs across Siri, Vision Pro and AI teams. How many WARN filings were posted in the past 30 days? 102 WARN filings covering 4,666 jobs were posted in the past 30 days across California, Washington and Maryland. What are the largest layoffs in recent WARN filings? Visa cut 320 jobs in San Mateo County, Starbucks cut 224 in Seattle, and LeeMAH Electronics cut 205 in San Mateo County. ## Layoffs are the ones you can see coming. Resignations are not. A WARN notice gives a state 60 days of warning. Nobody files one before they resign. TeamPredict reads the public LinkedIn signals your own team is already giving off and flags who looks likely to leave, so you get the same lead time on the departures that actually hurt.
