North Carolina-based medical testing company Laboratory Corporation Holdings of America (AKA LabCorp) has announced that it will be laying off approximately 200 employees at its Spokane, Washington, facilities as it reallocated testing operations to other company locations. According to a LabCorp spokesperson, Don Von Hagen, “LabCorp plans to increase the Spokane facility’s focus on toxicology testing in the future. That work includes drug testing by employers and testing patients for use of illegal drugs.”
Layoffs were anticipated by some industry watchers when LabCorp completed its 2017 acquisition of Spokane-based Pathology Associates Medical Laboratories (PAML -- Pathology Associates Medical Laboratories ) from its former owners, Providence Health & Services and Catholic Health Initiatives.
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?
