Powerhouse store closures-disgusting behaviour by head office

executiverocker

This is a vent on behalf of a friend really. He turned up for work on wednesday, arrived to be told a statement by these head office people, given a months wage, and told to leave immediately, and the store closed! Apparently all done ruthlessly, suddenly and swiftly. Even had security guard type guy there incase it all kicked off! Then they had as he described "imigrants" so obviously low paid looking types, to wrap up all the stock and it was taken!

Sounds absolutely disgusting how this company have treated the staff! I dont know if it was dealt the same way in other stores (this store is chester greyhound) but id be absolutely livid! I could imagine it maybe being featured in consumer magazines in the near future?

Any way just thought id share!

I don't think that the "immigrants" comment was necessary (although I appreciate that you were posting someone else's opinions and views), but you may be interested in the following thread as the procedure mentioned by another poster appears the same as the one you mention in your post;

Powerhouse Gone Bust.

Not good at all...

I disagree Justicia, i think the use of the word immigrants conveyed perfectly what the situation was - maybe they even were immigrants! OMG, how dare anybody use that word!!

A mate of mine was made redundant from Curry's as the store was closing

Yep, i agree but all these places are the same, they claim to value their staff but they dont, they value their profits which is why alot of people are like me - see them for what they are and treat them accordingly.

God im on one today arent I!! LOL
