Like many companies that experienced rapid growth due to the impacts of the COVID pandemic and the necessity to curb travel and exposure to outside individuals, there will be a period of realignment to match personnel with the current slowing economy.

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. We see good people being laid off through no fault of their own. 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?
