I wasn't there for the every manager fired on the spot incident, just that the store manager who was in charge of the Lowes it happened at was hired as as our store manager after being fired from Lowes. Given his performance at our store, I'd say the Lowes mass firing was probably justified. Last I heard he had left retail management entirely as was working part time as a substitute teacher.

With the current crop of managers at our store, I'd say a mass firing of every member of management who hasn't been with the company for at least five years (meaning predating that district manager) would be entirely justified and probably long overdue. There might be one or two worthwhile people caught up in that but for the most part the best I can say about them is they're a waste of headcount and the majority are actively detrimental to everyone around them.

The manager who died was in his mid 50s but overweight and obviously heavily stressed.
