Springfield, Missouri-based Leo Journagan Construction Company, a construction company acting as a prime contractor or subcontractor on projects involving highway construction, site preparation, and the production of construction aggregates, has announced the layoff of 121 employees after a merger with another road construction company, Jefferson City, Missouri-based Capital Holdings Group on February 28, 2021.
Jobs to be eliminated include dump truck drivers, quarry managers, scalemasters, clerical workers, and executives including the chief financial officer, the vice president of paving and the vice president of administration. Layoffs will also include approximately 30 unionized laborers and more than 50 operating engineers in multiple locations.
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?
