They happen every year, but these may be different. Trane is laying off workers, over 500 of them.  It\u2019s a pattern they\u2019ve come to expect, but they didn\u2019t expect what came next.  \u201cThis action eliminates 528 positions,\u201d Patrick O\u2019Connell of parent company Ingersoll Rand said Friday. \u201cThe workers were notified on July 8th, and their last day with the company is today, July 15th.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trane typically has around 1600 employees, but that number can be a bit flexible.  If you are an hourly, union worker at Trane, you\u2019re used to the pattern.  You are laid off toward the end of the summer when demand for air conditioning slacks off, and then rehired early the next year as it picks up again.  This time it\u2019s different for two reasons: it\u2019s not the end of the summer &#8212; and this time the layoff includes salaried workers.  O\u2019Connell says it\u2019s normal.  \u201cI don\u2019t know the exact time frames, but I would say that this is about when we usually announce them,\u201d he told our news partner KETK.<\/p>\n<p>Tom Mullins of the Tyler Economic Development Council says that no matter what the company says, this is early.  \u201cTypically we don\u2019t lose them until 30 or 45 days from now,\u201d Mullins says. \u201cYou know, August-September.\u201d   And the white collar layoffs are troubling.   \u201cLosing the management jobs is a surprise &#8212; 40-45 jobs that are not going to return,\u201d Mullins says.  O\u2019Connell would not give an exact figure.  \u201cWe\u2019re not disclosing the number of those salaried positions eliminated,\u201d he told us. \u201cIt was not a material number.\u201d  Mullins replied, \u201cThat\u2019s hard for those individuals and those families. \u201cIn this economy, they\u2019re not going to be able to walk down the street and find something else.\u201d  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TYLER &#8212; One of Tyler\u2019s largest employers is offering more details after announcing big job cuts.
