AM I NEXT? NO LOVE AT ROSEBURG FOREST PRODUCTS

Springfield, Oregon-based Roseburg Forest Products, an integrated wood-products company, has announced it will exit the hardwood plywood production market and has ceased hardwood plywood production at its Dillard, Oregon, facility.

The product line adjustment will impact 107 employees.

As per a company statement, "Roseburg Forest Products announced that it has ceased operations at its Dillard Hardwood Plywood facility and will exit the hardwood plywood market. This strategic move reflects the company’s long-term plan to concentrate resources on a more focused product portfolio with sustained customer demand and long-term growth potential.

"While hardwood plywood has been part of Roseburg’s portfolio for decades, the market has shifted significantly, with lower-cost imports now accounting for roughly 80% of the U.S. market. The company’s decision to exit reflects a disciplined approach to long-term competitiveness and product alignment."

“Successful businesses never stand still, and that’s been true for Roseburg for 90 years,” said Stuart Gray, President and CEO. “As we look to the future, we’re sharpening our focus on the products and capabilities that support the best use of our high-quality veneers and fiber, backed by continued investment in operational excellence. That includes our ongoing commitment to core product lines like engineered wood, MDF, lumber, and softwood plywood.”

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 PAYCOM

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma-based Paycom, an online payroll and human resource software provider, has announced a reduction in force as the company implements workflow restructuring and automation using artificial intelligence.

The reduction will impact 544 headquarters employees.

These investments have created new efficiencies and reduced the need to backfill or hire for roles that can be automated. The company continues to actively recruit and hire across sales, software, implementation and service roles. The updates impact only non-client-facing roles that have been automated, while client-facing roles remain focused on the high-touch, relational service for which Paycom is known."
