$1000 needed for auto repair. Just got laid off. Applying & interviewing for work as well.

30-day loan term if possible.

Thank you.

Another layoff of warehouse workers in the Inland Empire. They even laid off the maintenance technicians. I'm side-eyeing the 'Just get a trade' crowd. It's a race to the bottom in the IE.

I've been tracking layoffs in the IE & many aren't even announced in local news.

How are my warehouse workers adapting in this economy?

Lets discuss.

725 Workers Being Laid Off At Skechers Plant In Riverside County

MORENO VALLEY, CA — Hundreds of workers at the sprawling Skechers plant in Riverside County have been notified of a mass layoff at the facility.

TeamOne, a staffing agency that provides temporary staff for Skechers, said it notified 725 workers on May 18 of the cuts at the massive warehouse-and-factory-store complex at 29800 Eucalyptus Avenue in Moreno Valley, according to a letter it sent to the state's Employment Development Department.

The layoffs are expected to take effect on June 13, according to the TeamOne letter. The layoffs were announced after Skechers ended its staffing agreement with TeamOne for the Moreno Valley plant, "and thus, the job assignments of TeamOne's employees ...," the letter stated.

It's unclear why the agreement ended. As of Tuesday afternoon, Skechers USA was advertising 19 open jobs at its Moreno Valley facility.

Affected workers at the Moreno Valley plant include 309 material handlers, 231 equipment operators, 145 processors, 29 housekeepers/janitors, nine warehouse clerks, and two maintenance mechanics, according to the letter.

Manhattan Beach-based Skechers USA Inc. is a footwear and apparel company catering to men, women, and children. The brand was founded in 1992 and today is one of the largest athletic footwear brands in the world. There are now approximately 5,300 Skechers retail stores across the globe.

Skechers changed hands last year when New York-based investment firm 3G Capital paid $9.4 billion to buy the company in a go-private deal. The acquisition was finalized in September.
