AM I NEXT? NO LOVE AT BOYD CORPORATION

Pleasanton, California-based Boyd Corporation, a manufacturer of engineered materials and thermal management technologies to seal, cool, and protect sensitive devices, has announced the closure of their Fairburn, Georgia custom extrusions facility.

The layoff will impact 101 employees with layoffs occurring between April 1, 2022, and January 1, 2023.

The company is also closing its Portland, Oregon aerospace foam facility, which is expected to lay off 40 people on April 4, 2022. And its Gaffney, South Carolina facility affecting 34 employees on March 15, 2022.

The closures appear to be part of a restructuring to consolidate company operations, respond to hardships from supply chain challenges, and align production to customer demand.

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?
