Layoff Tracker
8-Ks, WARN notices, and company blogs. Not a screenshot of a tweet.
A layoff tracker watches 8-Ks, WARN notices, and company blogs for cuts, not Twitter screenshots.
Cuts show up as Item 2.05 or 5.02 8-Ks, as state WARN filings, and as posts on the company newsroom. They also show up as screenshots with no source. The screenshot is how rumors travel. The filing is how you know it happened.
If your tracker is a social account that never cites a document, you are collecting panic, not facts.
Where cuts actually appear
Public companies often file. Private companies often hit WARN first, then a local paper. Some only update a blog with "restructuring" language. Watch the 8-K, the state WARN portals you care about, and the newsroom URLs for names in the book.
AyeWatch summarizes those public pages and topics. It is not a headcount census. It is not Bloomberg. It will not tell you the exact number if the filing does not. It will tell you a named company posted a cut, a WARN, or a restructuring note.
Screenshots lie
Write the topic to reject unsourced social posts. "Alert me when these companies file an 8-K about layoffs or restructuring, when a WARN posts, or when the company blog announces cuts. Ignore unattributed screenshots and old roundups."
Hiring on the same names is the other half of the picture. Pair this with competitor hiring monitoring. Filing mechanics sit in SEC filing monitoring.

What to pair it with
Deal-driven cuts show up next to M&A monitoring. Investor setup is /for/investors. Start with one employer you already gossip about. If the first ping cites an 8-K or a WARN, you have a tracker. If it cites a tweet, tighten the topic until it stops.
