Mang. did not keep count, some Departments were emptied out. So after a couple of weeks, many people were re-hired and was able to keep their '1 year salary bonus'.
Many people in IT left once the re-hirings happened. The company went chapter 11 about 5 years later.
- akmarinov 4y agoAccept to leave for 1 year salary? I’d do that any time. It’s a free year off, you can even start working somewhere else if you get bored and just be 1 year ahead finance wise. That’s a great deal.

- jrochkind1 4y agoYeah, sounds like a company desperate to reduce the metric of ongoing operating cost, no matter what it did to anything else. I would guess private equity shenanigans.
