State layoff list shows 871 Fifth Third jobs affected in Oakland County, Troy facility closing
Michigan's list of WARN layoff notices includes two Fifth Third Bank sites in Farmington Hills and Auburn Hills and the closing of Trystar's Troy facility. Here's what the notices on file say.
By OCJ Staff
More than 900 Oakland County jobs are covered by three layoff notices on the State of Michigan's list of WARN notices, including two Fifth Third Bank locations and an industrial supplier closing its Troy site.
WARN notices are advance warnings employers file before mass layoffs and plant closings. Michigan's Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity posts them online. The Journal reviewed all 119 notices on the state's list as of Wednesday, Oct. 14.
The notices
Fifth Third Bank, 36455 Corporate Drive, Farmington Hills
- Type: permanent layoff
- Jobs: 637. The list marks this entry "updated" but does not say when it changed or what the earlier number was.
- Dates listed: July 1, 2026, to November 2026
Fifth Third Bank, 3701 Hamlin Road, Auburn Hills
- Type: mass layoff
- Jobs: 234
- Date listed: Sept. 11, 2026

Trystar LLC, 1955 Stephenson Highway, Troy

Together, the two Fifth Third entries cover 871 jobs.
What the list doesn't say
The state's list shows the dates of the layoffs, not the dates the notices were filed. So it isn't possible to tell from the list when each notice was submitted.
The Journal found no new Oakland County notice on the list with a layoff date in October 2026.
The list also doesn't say whether affected workers will be offered jobs elsewhere in the company, and it gives no reason for the cuts beyond the notice type.
