AM I NEXT? NO LOVE AT DIRT CHEAP

Hattiesburg, Mississippi-based Channel Control Merchants, the parent company of Dirt Cheap, operator of a retail chain of 68 “extreme value” stores specializing in overstock and surplus goods across the Southeast United States, has announced the company's closure after filing for bankruptcy.

The closure may impact more than 1,000 employees, including corporate, store, and distribution center workers.

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 terrible 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. 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?
