What's the WARN notice minimum? I noticed they are not on it

likesmart

I believe it has to be 25-50+ ppl? You’ll notice a lot of layoffs are conveniently under than mark in NY

Had read elsewhere it was 1% of groupM. But thats at a global level, so might not rise to crossing threshold for WARN at a state level

like

Makes sense. That would be ~400 people globally, and WARN is for 50+ people in a single site/location

The global savings number handed down from WPP was 200mill so that’s gonna be a lot of people.

I did and it's killing me because now I'm working till 2 am, but its not showing on paper. I o ly show 8 or 9 hours.

So nothing is left for review. Why do partners do this to us?
