Laid off from JLL.

JLL's Florida notice said a change in Amazon's staffing contractor required a reduction-in-force and the end of its operations at Amazon's MCO1/3 building in Orlando. Amazon told Bisnow it was bringing those roles in-house instead, so the two accounts differ on who took over. The four California notices gave no reason, though Bisnow reported every site was an Amazon distribution center. JLL didn't respond when Bisnow asked for comment.

Nothing in the reporting we track gives terms for the Amazon sites or any earlier round. JLL's annual report offers only a worldwide total, $42.2 million of severance and other employment-related charges in 2025, including external service providers. Past rounds don't bind the next one, and the public record doesn't establish anyone's individual terms, so read your own separation paperwork, and any agreement it refers to, before you sign.

Our tracker has no JLL filing so far in 2026. The 10-Q does show $19.5 million of severance and other employment-related charges for the first half, down from $25.4 million a year earlier, with no headcount attached. In February 2026, Christian Ulbrich told analysts JLL had grown revenue in 2024 and 2025 without adding much headcount outside client-side, reimbursed roles, and would be able to drive more revenue "without any significant amounts of headcount."

Possibly, though nothing on record moves anyone over automatically. Amazon said the outgoing vendor's employees would have the opportunity to interview for positions at Amazon, which means an interview and not a transfer. JLL's Florida notice also stated that no bumping rights existed. Apply to whoever runs your site next, and ask JLL separately whether it has openings elsewhere.

In California that's the EDD, which lists $40 to $450 a week for eligible workers, based on earnings over the past 18 months, with a first payment about three weeks after you apply and a CalJOBS registration step. In Florida it's FloridaCommerce's Reconnect system, which asks for 18 months of employer details, including the FEIN on your W-2, and the Orlando notice names the employer as Jones Lang LaSalle Americas, Inc. After that, Florida claimants request benefits every two weeks.

In the state where you worked, not where the company is headquartered. JLL's biggest U.S. hubs are California, Florida. Severance usually doesn't block you from filing, and benefits run from your filing date, so file the same week.

Yes. Unemployment insurance is funded by payroll taxes employers pay on wages, the claim never appears on credit reports or background checks, and future employers cannot see it. If the hesitation itself is the obstacle, whether filing is OK has its own article.

Your plan sets the end date rather than the law, so the separation packet is where that date actually lives, and it is often the last day of the month rather than your last day of work. After coverage ends, COBRA lets you keep the identical plan by paying the whole premium yourself, up to 102 percent of what the plan really costs, which lands as several times the payroll deduction you were used to. You get 60 days to elect, counted from the later of coverage ending or the election notice arriving, and electing reaches the coverage back to the day the old plan stopped so no gap exists. How continuation coverage works walks the timing, and whether to take it rather than a marketplace plan is a separate decision.

First pin down how much review time you actually have. If you're 40 or older, federal law gives you 21 days to consider an agreement that waives age claims, 45 in a group layoff, and a waiver signed under a shorter deadline can be invalid. If you're under 40, no federal window applies and the deadline in your packet may be real, so confirm it in writing and ask for more time if you need it. Use whatever window you have to read the release terms, especially non-disparagement and no-lawsuit clauses, and don't stall past a real deadline, because offers can be withdrawn.

Usually yes, though some states delay benefits until severance pay periods end, and lump sums are treated differently than salary continuation. Check your state's rules on our state benefit pages, and file immediately either way so your claim date is locked in.
