Irvine, California Optum RX, a pharmacy services company, has announced that the company will be permanently closing its Las Vegas, Nevada pharmacy facility and laying off 161 employees, 135 layoffs commencing December 24, 2020; 22 on January 6, 2021; and the remainder on January 13, 2021.

According to a company spokesperson, "We do not take these decisions lightly. All affected employees will receive no less than 60 days' compensation and benefits from the date on which the employees receive notice of their employment loss. In addition, the company is offering severance as well as career outplacement services to all affected employees."

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?
