AM I NEXT? NO LOVE AT WESTGATE RESORTS

Orlando, Florida-based Westgate Resorts, a timeshare resort company, has announced a restructuring to consolidate operations and create operational efficiencies.

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?
