Fenton, Missouri-based Maritz, a sales and marketing services company that designs and operates programs targeted at employee recognition, customer loyalty, incentive programs, and acts as a corporate event planner, has announced that it will be laying off another 107 employees after previous layoffs of 524 employees. The layoffs are scheduled to commence in February 2021.
"In light of the extension of applicable governmental shutdown orders, intervening and extended federal and CDC guidance recommending social distancing and decreased travel, and additional data and analysis revealing the resulting impact of the Covid-19 crisis on Maritz's financial condition, and despite Maritz's attempts to explore options to comply with government standards and guidance and to implement alternative procedures, Maritz has just recently realized that additional action is necessary and that permanent layoffs of employees who were previously furloughed are required."
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?
