The layoffs that started in 2013 became more and more regular. We used to joke that everyone should clean their desks toward the end of July and get ready because you never knew who was going next. Like clock work...July 31st/August 1st the emails would start coming and you would see people with their severance packages walking out. The beginning of 2016, everything hit the fan (although we knew about layoffs before Christmas). The team shrank and shrank. Stock shortages were rampant, but they continued to charge customers for product that they wouldn't receive for months at a time. We were never allowed to say the word "backorder" to customers. Things were always "on a slight delay".
The "Reverse Group Offers" that they had always ended up really putting people in bad financial situations and now they've started a company that sounds like it's the same platform-which will upset a lot of people really quickly. So many practices borderlined on illegal. Apparently the company has moved offices to temporary rental spaces in downtown Detroit and left a bunch of product behind.
