Dublin, Ohio-based Keller Mortgage, the lending arm of the nation’s largest real estate franchisor by agent count and an automated originator of mortgage loan programs, has announced that it will be addressing the over-hiring issue that saw the rapid expansion of its workforce and payroll by laying off 150 new recruits, approximately one-third of its newly hired associates. Many of whom were remote workers.
According to a company spokesperson, the hiring program “was a way to support significant anticipated business volume and cultivate talent within Keller Mortgage to create a pipeline of future experts who would be trained for more independent and specific roles in mortgage fulfillment, like processing, underwriting, and closing.”
“When we make really tough decisions that affect people, it doesn’t come without serious consideration and contemplation. This decision was difficult for everyone because it involved people — their jobs, careers, and lives. We don’t take that responsibility lightly.”
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?
