[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm surprised MITRE is so open about its RIFs because others do it quietly without announcements.[/quote]

Like who?[/quote]

RAND for one. The first round was announced as a RIF and as such, they met their reporting and announcment requirements. The subsequent rounds have been rebranded and handled very quietly, even telling each person that they are not part of a larger group, which doesn’t appear to actually be the case. [/quote]

You and your coworkers need to consult an employment law firm ASAP. You and your family could get a nice settlement.[/quote]

It was probably under the threshold for reporting. Even MITRE only has had one WARN notice in Virginia, and that was for June, even though they've had other layoffs. There's no additional legal requirement that you tell someone you're laying off how many people you're laying off. [/quote]

If the company is actively misrepresenting the nature and scope of the layoffs to individual employees to avoid the appearance of a WARN-triggering event, this could strengthen a potential legal claim by employees. It suggests a potential attempt to evade the spirit (if not the strict letter) of the law and could be a factor in arguments related to breach of good faith or other employment law claims, especially when combined with the alleged "rebranding" of the layoff rounds. PP should consult a lawyer. MITRE and RAND should hire good outside counsel if this is how they are handling RIFs.
