Protect My Car, a St. Petersburg automobile warranty and maintenance plan provider, laid off 75 employees last month in what may be the first of several rounds of job cuts.
In a letter to the state posted online Thursday March 2, the company says the cuts “must be made due to unforeseeable business circumstances.” It did not detail what the circumstance were but said that “based on the best available information available at this time, there will be a mass layoff” and called the 75 jobs cuts “the first separation.”
The eliminated jobs were at the company’s offices at 570 Carillon Parkway. Protect My Car is a d/b/a for Advance Marketing and Processing Inc. The company’s LinkedIn page says it was founded in 2005 and employs between 201 and 500 people.
