This Furniture Company Laid Off 2,700 Workers Via Text, Days Before Thanksgiving.
A Mississippi-based furniture company, United Furniture Industries, has become a bad Samaritan for its employees just before Thanksgiving.
The company fired almost 2,700 employees in text messages and emails.
The company’s employees, spread across North Carolina, Mississippi, and California, were unemployed before Thanksgiving.
“At the instruction of the board of directors, we regret to inform you that due to unforeseen business circumstances, the company has been forced to make the difficult decision to terminate the employment of all its employees, effective immediately, on Nov. 21,” the message read, as quoted by the New York Post.
