• B) the 60 notice obligation is eliminated if the layoff is caused by business circumstances that were not reasonably foreseeable
• C) the moment the Department of Justice informed the defendant that they were considering an indictment, the defendant had the obligation to notify its employees of the inevitable layoffs
