I keep telling all my friends in the US. You don't ask you don't get.
@VeroniqueB99 This story in this post sounds dubious. I was recently laid off in California so I know from experience that CA labor laws require 60 days notice, among other things.

@danherbert @VeroniqueB99 I am also in California and my understanding is that CA law only applies to companies with 75+ impacted employees: https://edd.ca.gov/en/jobs_and_training/layoff_services_warn

That could be one difference?

Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN)

California employers can find an overview of the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act including, how to file a WARN Notice and what steps are taken after a WARN notice has been filed.
