AM I NEXT? NO LOVE AT DETROT AXLE

Ferndale, Michigan-based Detroit Axle, a manufacturer and distributor of remanufactured and new aftermarket parts, has announced the closure of its Ferndale, Michigan warehouse and transitioning operations to its 225,000 sq ft distribution center in El Paso, Texas.

The closure will impact 102 employees, effective August 25, 2025.

According to CEO Mike Musheinesh, "The decision to close this facility is due to unforeseen circumstances, specifically the sudden imposition of government tariffs, which have significantly disrupted our supply chain and sharply increased the costs of goods. These changes have had a direct and unanticipated impact on our warehouse operations, making it financially unsustainable to continue operating this facility."

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, nor promises of a bright future. We see good people being laid off through no fault of their own. Just because something terrible hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it won't. It can happen to anyone, at any time, anywhere. No one is guaranteed to wake up tomorrow and still have a job by evening. While many employees can read the writing on the wall, why do most assume it’s targeted at someone else? Are you now wondering, Am I Next?

AM I NEXT? NO LOVE AT TURO

San Francisco, California-based Turo, a peer-to-peer car-sharing company that allows private car owners to rent out their vehicles via an online and mobile interface, has announced a reduction of 15% of its workforce.

The reduction will impact 150 employees after its decision not to proceed with its IPO.
