11-11-26 Patterson Companies laid off a number of IT resources including a number of combat veterans. It is especially troubling that it happened on Veterans Day. Clearly an oversight by the HR Team. Rumor is that Patterson will be outsourcing IT work to India.

Laying off employees on Veterans Day, including combat veterans, demonstrates remarkably poor judgment by Patterson leadership. Regardless of the business justification, the timing sends a terrible message about how the company values its people and makes its supposed "People First" commitment ring hollow. Employees deserve better, and leadership should be held accountable for decisions like this.
