Liberty Lake Call Center Lays Off 578

Item: Center Partners to lay off 578 Liberty Lake workers/John Stucke, SR

More Info: Center Partners will lay off 578 workers at its Liberty Lake call center by Oct. 1, the company announced Tuesday. The firm also announced plans this week to lay off 600 workers and close an office in its headquarters city of Fort Collins, Colo. The company’s chief operating officer told the Fort Collins Coloradoan newspaper that the layoffs were the result of “changing business needs.” In both cases the layoffs were large enough to require official notice to state agencies.

Also: The future of the company’s call center in Coeur d’Alene – with 1,700 employees as of late last year – is unclear.

Question: Any scuttlebutt out there re: the Center Partners call center in Coeur d'Alene?
