Layoffs Come at a Difficult Time for Workers

Although this really couldn’t happen at a worse time, as we all know there are many businesses that are struggling right now, and they are doing what they need to cut expenses to keep the business profitable. But this means hardworking East Texans are going to be looking for a new job right as we are in the middle of the holiday season.

Hopefully, with notice of the layoffs, this will give employees some time to plan for their next job. Although, this is difficult news to take given the current state of our economy. We are wishing these employees nothing but the best as they look for their next job.
