Nobody is talking about how
Party City fired everyone on
Friday, closing all the stores
And filed for bankruptcy 5
Days before Christmas. No
Severance, no job, just fired.
Corporations treat people like
Trash you just throw away.

No one is talking about it because no one cares. The country just voted for the most corrupt rapist in history.

My boss fired me on Christmas Eve for missing 10 days of work after my wife died. Thank Dog for the American Postal Worker's Union. This was the same a$$hole who called out for a week when his dog died.

They KNEW they were closing down their stores. The powers that be could’ve waited, should’ve waited until the new year to deliver the devastating news to their employees. Cold hearted mfer’s are they.

But that might have knocked a zero off their already too generous golden parachutes so… fukk them little ppl.

Private equity partnerships are mostly to blame for this. PE has ruined a lot of businesses, thrown hundreds of thousands of people out of work, all to enrich obscenely wealthy a$$holes.

But the highly paid highly compensated executives have their golden parachute to help them fly away to the next company they can bankrupt. It’s never ending for them. They’re always fine. The rest of us? Not so much.

That will be our world after 1/20/2025. Don't you wonder how many MAGAs were employees of Party City? I read where Big Lots is closing all their stores. MAGA? Yep, he lied about that, too.

You are just now figuring out that corporations treat employees like trash??? I’ve had 3 jobs since graduating JC 1993. Laid off twice and left one because I couldn’t get UNPAID LEAVE for my wife’s last pregnancy. I was laid off for COVID and told I’d have to reapply to get my job back.

Alright, let’s take the next steps down this street. THERE IS NO CORPORATE LOYALTY TO ITS EMPLOYEES ANYMORE. THEY SEE YOU AS A LIABILITY, But are willing to overlook that as long as you continue to generate far more revenue than you consume.

‪Save the Middle Class‬ ‪@jeffautero.bsky.social‬

The corporate employees were all fired that day with no severance but the stores will actually remain open until February but I think they may have all had their benefits cut and any contribution to a 401k by the company would be canceled as well. Employees always get screwed

22/30
‪Lisa‬ ‪@chillrogmom.bsky.social‬

They need to quit and take their 401k with them

23/30
‪Save the Middle Class‬ ‪@jeffautero.bsky.social‬

Their 401(k)'s are safe. Those funds are always kept separate from corporate funds

24/30
‪Olliebeanzmom‬ ‪@olliebeanzmom.bsky.social‬

They’ll be the next thing the incoming administration wants to privatize. Watch this space.

‪Save the Middle Class‬ ‪@jeffautero.bsky.social‬

I work in the industry 401ks are already privatized it is your money kept away and the plan hires a record keeper who keeps the records for the individual participants.

Not from where those employees are standing.

I mean I get your point but regardless of who's standing where, a net worth of 10m is still just upper middle class these days

with this fourth wave of stores, the Big Lots footprint will reach 220 stores, just a small portion of the more than 1,300 locations that were open around this time last year.

Big Lots began in 1967, but it wasn’t until 2001 that all of its stores operated under that name. Speculation that the retailer could file for bankruptcy began bubbling up last summer after it warned in a U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) filing that between 35 and 40 locations could shutter. Weeks later, that estimation jumped to more than 300.
Company leaders had pointed to inflation and difficulties in competing. Then, in September, Big Lots filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. In the months to follow, hundreds of stores would shutter. A last-minute sale in January, however, has allowed hundreds of stores to remain open.

The sale agreement, reached with Gordon Brothers Retail Partners, stipulated that Variety Wholesalers would acquire between 200 and 400 former Big Lots stores and reopen them, maintaining the branding. It’s unclear whether any additional store openings are on the horizon.
Several former Big Lots storefronts that are not reopening have found a new life. Other retailers, like Ocean State Job Lot and Ollie’s Bargain Market, have announced plans to take over those locations. Meanwhile, in Denver, a pickleball facility intends to open in a former Big Lots before the end of the year
