A furniture company in Mississippi fired all of its 2,700 employees via texts and emails just two days before Thanksgiving, instructing them not to show up for work the following day.
“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,” United Furniture Industries said in a message to staff.
