Santa Ana, California-based Allied Universal Security Services, a provider of security and janitorial services and staffing, has announced a major reduction in force.
The personnel adjustment will affect 1,203 employees located in Seattle, Washington, and Kent, Washington, with layoffs scheduled for December 19, 2022.
The layoffs are attributed to the loss of a contract to provide security services to Amazon.
According to a company spokesperson, "The layoffs affects employees at Amazon locations where the company's security services will come to an end later this year. We will work with any employees who wish to remain with Allied Universal to find a suitable alternate assignment within the company with minimal interruption to their work schedule."
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?
