A furniture company shut down its operations abruptly and fired all its workers instantly, without notice. It also tried to deny them all benefits — even the option to continue their medical insurance at their own expense.

It may be illegal for a company to do that, but that's not enough. It ought to be a crime for the executives and managers involved in the decision.

As for the fact that they did this on one day of the year rather than one of the other 364 days, or what method they used to inform the staff, or the fact that some of them were sleeping, don't let those minor details distract you.
