Former employees are suing based on failure to comply with the Illinois (and I think Federal) WARN act when they abruptly closed all stores on Tuesday, asking employees to take out the trash, make signs to post on the front doors, lock up, and skedaddle. They were paid for their shifts through the end of that day.
In an article on Tuesday in WaPo, the following statement appeared: “Then, about 9:30 a.m. (before the closure was made known to store employees), Harlos said, a man who worked for Foxtrot’s corporate headquarters showed up and bought $500 worth of groceries. “I’m using up all my credits,” she said he told her.”
I very much look forward to hearing about the golden parachutes/other sweetheart deals squirrelled away by corporate leaders for themselves.
