Geico plans permanent layoffs for 114 in Florida starting Dec. 31

More than 114 remote employees in Florida who report to Geico's Lakeland office will begin losing their jobs by the end of the year, according to a WARN notice the company sent to the Florida Department of Commerce. The anticipated mass layoff will affect "remote employees who report into the Lakeland office in its Staff Counsel, Florida PIP organization," the notice said. Geico expects the layoffs to begin on or about Dec. 31. The layoffs will affect employees in Florida but will not affect any Lakeland residents, according to a Nov. 5 email from Geico's corporate communications.
