wild. local Portland chain Hotlips Pizza is closing three of their five stores and laying off dozens of people: https://wweek.com/food/2023/03/27/hotlips-pizza-has-closed-three-of-its-five-stores/

but the worst part? the owner is quoted saying this:

Each person is hardworking and has contributed mightily to the teams they have worked with, and to the longevity and health of our company. Many have been with us for years, decades even.

but how are those hardworking employees taken care of in the end? one week’s severance pay 🥴
