We got a call at 3:30pm Friday informing us there would be an emergency general managers conference call at 4:30.

At about 4:45 one of the computer IT guys came into our office stunned - he told us we were out of a job, the company no longer existed.

At the same time the phone rang. It was our GM, who was off for the day, informing us to put a sign on the door saying we were closed due to an emergency and he'd be in in a few minutes.

The gist of the phone conference was basically thank you for your time and service, effective 4:30 the company no longer exists, clock out your staff, put as much food as you can in the freezer, lock the doors, and go home - (hang up).

We have no clue what happened, nor did we have any idea this was coming.

We stuck around for a while, said our goodbyes, fielded lots of phone calls from newspapers, hosted a local news camera crew, then headed home unemployed.

I know my last two paychecks cleared my bank but I'm not certain I'll get one for last week.

Just felt like venting...

Take it from someone who was just there.
In 10 months, I lost job, wife, and self-respect....
The market has turned around, jobs are ramping up, and you will come out with not only a better job, but a higher paying one.........
I pass my good luck to you......
