I'm not sure what the WARN threshold is, but Marriott itself may not have as many employees in the area as we think, mostly because of their franchise system. White lodging, for instance, may be cutting hundreds of jobs at this point, but the employer is White Lodging, not Marriott.
From what I can tell, this was the major week where most inessential staff were furloughed throughout the hotel industry. You'll see buildings being mothballed from this point onwards, probably through at least sometime in May.
My hotel's furloughs (which also dropped this week) are initially supposed to last 8-12 weeks, but in reality the furloughs will last till occupancies start to increase -- whenever that actually happens.
