LAYOFFS: IS THE HANDWRITING ON THE WALL AT TECH DATA?

Am I Next? Tech Data acquired by private equity firm — are layoffs far behind?

Clearwater, Florida-based Tech Data Corporation, a major distribution company specializing in computer products, has agreed to be acquired by New York City, New York-based Apollo Global Management for $6 billion.

Apollo specializes in leveraged buyouts, turnarounds, restructuring, and industry consolidations.

A red flag for employees as the company restructures, consolidates, and cuts costs to maximize its potential.

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?
