Lake Forest, Illinois-based Tenneco, a manufacturer of automotive components including original and aftermarket equipment, has announced the layoff of 350 employees located at the company's piston manufacturing facility in South Bend, Indiana. The work will be distributed to other Tenneco facilities.

The 260,000 square-foot facility was acquired from federal Mogul two years ago and now represents excess space that may be available for lease or sales.

According to a company spokesperson, the decision was “difficult, but necessary” occasioned by the status of the market for the company's piston products. “This particular action isn’t related to current market conditions. We have a systemic profitability challenge we have to correct.”

Change is coming. There will always be a tomorrow, no matter how much you may try to ignore it. There are no guarantees in life or promises for a bright future. Just because something bad hasn't happened yet, doesn't mean it won't. It can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere. No one is guaranteed to wake up tomorrow and still have a job by evening. Are you now wondering, Am I Next?
