I was wondering about the motivation behind these "stealth layoffs," and what you say makes sense. There is a federal law involved in mass layoffs, but it only requires two months notice, not severance pay.

>>
Are You A Part Of A Plant Closing Or Mass Layoff?


Plant closings and mass layoffs drastically affect and often displace
workers' lives. The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act
(WARN) requires that employers give notice to employees who face a
plant closing or mass layoff, so that employees have a chance to find
another job, get additional training, and adjust to the loss of
employment.

WARN requires employers to give employees a 60-day notice before
closing a plant or conducting mass layoffs. WARN also requires
employers to notify state dislocated-worker units, if there are any, so
that the state can provide assistance to the laid off workers.

WARN applies to employers with 100 or more employees who work
more than 20 hours a week. Federal, state and local governments are
not covered.

A plant closing occurs when:

a facility or operating unit is shut down for more than six months
or
50 or more employees lose their jobs during any 30-day period
at a single site of employment.

A mass layoff occurs when a layoff of six months or longer affects:

500 or more workers or
33 percent of the employer's workforce.<<
