Reading the Electronic Arts WARN Record
Electronic Arts has 3 WARN Act filings in this dataset, covering 784 workers between May 29, 2014 and Feb 29, 2024. As with any WARN count, the true figure runs somewhat higher (why). By total workers affected, Electronic Arts ranks #44 of 757 tracked employers in WA. Among the 8 other Information Technology employers with recorded WARN filings, the median is 3,450 affected workers -- Electronic Arts's 784 sits well below that group's typical scale. Filings span 3 states, most concentrated in WA (Information Technology), so more than one state workforce agency and mini-WARN threshold applied depending on where each notice was filed.
Averaging 261 workers per notice, Electronic Arts's filings fall into a pattern that is consistent with site-level consolidation or a multi-department reduction in force. The 3 notices on file represent distinct events, each triggering a 60-day advance warning obligation that fed into state rapid-response systems.
Workers on WA-based Electronic Arts notices should contact the WA workforce agency directly, response teams, severance negotiation guidance, and TAA (Trade Adjustment Assistance) screening move fastest in the days immediately following a notice.

This record reflects filed notices only; subsequent hiring, rescinded closures, or facility reopenings are not tracked by WARN disclosures.
