If you're a person who's ever worked with other people, then you already know how you can build a relationship over time. Sure, maybe you aren't best friends with your workmates. But then again, maybe you are. Maybe, over time, you celebrate birthdays, and show up to parties outside of work, and forge relationships with those people you see every day.
I mean, it makes sense. Back when you went to school, that's probably also how you made friends. You saw the same people day in and day out. Over the course of days, weeks, and months of conversations, you got to know each other. You learned what you had in common, and maybe you took it from there. As adults with jobs, of course we're going to make friends with some of our coworkers. It happens.
That's even truer if you're in a situation where you're at a job for a long time. Why am I telling you this, though? You may recall us telling you that Textron-owned Arctic Cat was in deep trouble at the end of 2024, and that it was laying off 65 workers at its Thief River Falls HQ in Minnesota. But now, to start off 2025, the news for employees is, unfortunately, even worse as earlier this week, employees at two Arctic Cat facilities received word that they'll be laid off in March and May. And the numbers are a lot higher than 65.
