Cleveland, Ohio-based AmeriMark Direct, an online and direct marketing catalog retailer, has announced that it has filed for Chapter 11 proceedings in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Wilmington, Delaware, as it seeks a buyer for its assets.

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?
