I'm amazed that after two days, this hasn't been posted on this forum.

From the online news:
Developer taking back the reins at golf division, The Villages Daily Sun
November 18, 2018

"The Developer has taken back the reins at two major entities in The Villages – the golf division and The Villages Daily Sun.

"The Developer is once again the employer at the championship golf courses, after handing off that responsibility about a decade ago to Golf Management Solutions, a limited liability corporation formed by Ken and Timothy Creely.

"GMS employees were reportedly told they would have to go through orientation to remain on the job. However, it is interesting to note “The Villages Golf & Country Club Team” is inviting job applications on golfthevillages.com for “a variety of positions available,” including “indoors, outdoors, front line, and behind the scenes” jobs.

"At a recent meeting at the The Villages Daily Sun, it was announced that the Developer was taking back the roughly 300 employees at the newspaper.

"The Daily Sun employees were separated in 2012 into a private media management company, Villages Media Management Inc., headed by longtime Daily Sun Publisher Philip J. Markward. He served as the employer of the workers who produced the newspaper, while Mark Morse, Jennifer Parr and Tracy Mathews continued to own the newspaper’s masthead and printing press."

I have a friend who works for Golf Management Solutions. He had this to say:
1. GMS employees don't have to go through orientation. They just need to fill out new withholding tax forms.
2. GMS is always recruiting new employees.
3. The Developer is also taking back the golf cart stores and the Information Technology that does The Villages computer work.
