Fond du Lac, Wisconsin-based Mercury Marine, the marine engine division of Brunswick Corporation, has announced a major reduction in force.
The personnel realignment will impact 300 positions following the April 2024 layoff of 100 employees.
According to a company spokesperson, "The layoffs at its global headquarters in Fond du Lac will run through July and are part of operations adjustments in Wisconsin, Florida, and Mexico. These actions were taken due to softening of consumer demand in some of our markets mainly as a result of continued high interest rates and near-term reductions in boat production by Mercury’s boat builder partners.”
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 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?
