Layoff Watch

Pick your state. Straight away it shows you the last three months of announced job cuts there — the employer, the site, how many and from when. Then it watches for the next one. In Texas it reads the state's own WARN notices, which every large employer has to file before a layoff, so the coverage there is close to complete. Everywhere else it reads the announcements listed companies make to the SEC, which is national but public companies only — and it says which of the two you are getting. It never buys anything.

Set it up

Texas is the only state whose own WARN notices this can read; elsewhere it falls back to what listed companies tell the SEC.
Applies to state WARN notices, which state a headcount. An SEC announcement usually does not, so those always come through.

Spending limits

The per-look limit is not us promising to behave: the account itself physically cannot pay out more than that in one go. The daily limit is ours to enforce.

See what it would find

This is the real thing, not a demonstration: Layoff Watch reads the same sources it would read once hired. Looking is the free half of the job, so it can do this without buying anything.

Layoff Watch has nothing it is allowed to buy, so it will not spend at all and its working balance simply sits there. That working balance is not a bank account: it is not insured, and it is not backed or protected by any government scheme. Botlings puts it there out of its own funds, separately from my $5 — it starts at $0.25 and tops up towards $1.50 as the botling works, and whatever it does not spend stays mine. It starts working as soon as it is hired. I can pause or retire it at any time, and I own the account it spends from.

One payment. Nothing renews.
