A friend's cafe (part of a large chain) decided to make everyone redundant effective immediately a day ago. They fired the whole staff overnight. They then posted on instagram that they were wishing all their customers seasons greetings and that they would be shut "for a couple of weeks for renovations", hashtag blessed hashtag grateful.

I posted on the page calling them out on their bullshit and they deleted the comment and blocked me. Yeah, employers are assholes.

If they fired the whole staff they probably had a good reason

Restaurants lose a fuckload of money shutting down for a couple of weeks at a time. They didnt just fire everyone to be an asshole I'm sure

A franchise of this size with a failing restaurant doesn't suddenly discover it's run out of money and has no choice to let everyone go immediately. They would have known for months. They projected the failure but needed the staff until the due date, so they kept it confidential to reduce the noise. The carefully curated PR campaign proves it. They fired everyone but they're telling the public it's just a temporary renovations. That's not what's happening. The business shut down, they're going to put a different business in there.

No one tries to be an asshole, they just do it anyway when it suits them.

Sucks dude, especially with the shitty timing. Is the shop closing entirely or are they just having to downsize?

Obviously before, but taking advantage of hospitality employment conditions to give your employees the least amount of notice possible is pretty shitty

By that metric, two days before the 25th is still way too late. People have already done their shopping.

i'm saying this in a self-deprecating way, not to support this other dude you're replying to

Sorry to hear that. My last day was the 22nd so just in time to be jobless for Christmas. Though fortunately I had a 2 month notice and was able to line something up.
