    Potecting the stability of its shareholders was prioritized and this store -and its workforce- were deemed expendable.

    Holy shit that’s cold. Ignoring the whole radical left bs, that’s insane callousness. Imagine veing the poor minimum wage employee that had to put that sign up before clocking out for the last time.

      Saying the quiet part out loud again. This is the only honest sentence in that whole excretion of doublespeak.

        it’s such an insane own goal that i thought it had to be satire, but the rest of it really does track with bailout-seeking behavior from private equity ghouls

            No then you get blamed for not locking the door. Anyway they don’t have anything in there worth stealing, the most valuable thing in there is probably the carpet squares.

      “Yeah, I made sure to lock up before I left, the fire alarm and security system were all running fine, and as nearby CCTV cameras will show I left the building and headed in the direction of home, I have no idea what could have caused the electrical issues that made them both stop functioning right before the store burned down. Of course since I lost my job, it’s not really MY problem, now is it? click

      I want a Bluetooth physical phone so I can slam the receiver down and hang up with flair

      Perhaps this former employee also wrote/edited and printed that sign themselves before hanging it up as a form of protest. Either way it exposes what‘s happening behind the corpo speech very well.

      It’s very likely this is just bullshit. Sadly believable, but still bullshit.
