That was just the coverup so they didn’t get backlash from laying everyone off after another round of C-Suite bonuses.
They probably closed the stores trying to unionize.
You don’t understand what it’s like for them. They don’t like sacking people for bonuses but they just can’t come up with any other ways to increase profit. What are they supposed to do? Get creative? Build a strong respectful work culture? Not take a bonus? You see. It’s not as easy as you think. Timmy can miss out on his toy train this Christmas. Besides, it’s just business
When little Timmy got a train
"twas put beneath a tree
Christmas day had fin'lly come,
Such fun for all to see
The poor were done, they knew no fun All stolen by some jerk(s)
Their patience done, their time had come
And quickly went to work
Timmy's dad had been quite bad
He stole, and cheated and lied
When they burned the system down,
Little Timmy fucking died.
Added context: "Little Timmy" is 35, has a cushy VP job in his dad's company, and is lined up to be the next ceo. It was his suggestion to cut 50,000 jobs so he could collect a finders fee for "finding" unnecessary expenses.
This is the content I miss from Reddit
Timmy doesn’t need an entire full sized private “toy” train. Just get him some Lego ;)
