ive been paid off and made redundant; no-one gave a toss, which was a shame as my job was as important as someone in a multi chain. only difference is 10/15k jobs going at one time instead of 20/30.
that said of course i feel for the workers, its always sad to see anyone losing their ability to earn a living. hopefully a buyer will be found for some of the stores and at least some jobs get saved.
