A WARN notice is the advance warning an employer must file with a state labor department before a mass layoff, generally 60 days ahead. 400 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.

KPMG Australia confirmed 400 layoffs, representing nearly 5% of its Australian workforce. The firm had earlier considered cutting 1,000 jobs. How many Apple employees were laid off in the Siri and Vision Pro teams? Apple cut over 200 jobs across Siri and Vision Pro teams during a major AI restructuring. How many WARN jobs were filed in the past 30 days? WARN filings show 102 notices covering 4,666 jobs in the past 30 days across California, Washington, and Maryland. ## 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.
