Leaving a big store open (x100) costs a LOT of money if they’re losing money. Doesn’t help when everyone working there is depressed & desperate upon hearing the news before it closes; also compels them to work when they’d really rather be looking for work. Shut the doors, give ‘em 2-4 weeks pay, don’t make ‘em slog thru the tragedy of closing.
Will these employees receive 2-4 weeks pay?
That works. As long as they actually do the “give them 2-4 weeks pay” part.
“Shut the doors, give ‘em 2-4 weeks pay, don’t make ‘em slog thru the tragedy of closing.”
DING DING DING, we have the winner.
Also, it’s not like they’re being put to sleep. Find another job. It is just employment. The businesses gotta do what they have to do.
