Tampa, Florida-based Lutheran Services Florida, a statewide nonprofit providing drug and mental health services to Florida's vulnerable population, has announced a reduction in force in its Comprehensive Refugee Services operations. These operations are designed “to provide wraparound services to make sure the entire family was comfortably integrated in America and set up for a successful life.”
The reduction in force will impact 150 employees and is attributable to the loss of State funding.
According to a spokesperson, "The non-profit was notified that what it had expected in funding from Florida’s Department of Children and Families would be significantly reduced.”
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. 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?
