Question 1

Where are you right now?

Why we ask: a laid-off week and a thinking-about-a-move week look nothing alike. No résumé, no account.

What did Sodexo file?

A WARN notice gives the number of workers and the dates the employer reported. It does not say why. Notices are published by each state.
