Yes. You can read all about what was happening in the states this time last year by scrolling through the previous posts, starting right after Christmas '12 till we closed.

We were told we have a buyer, then we had a buyer, then be patient we're still trying to get a buyer. Then our delivery schedules became vague, and we were told to tell the customer "We'll call you, when your pictures come in."

Please make sure that your customers all leave with a receipt, and the purchased cd, no matter how busy you are. I don't care if you have to go out and buy receipt paper out of your own pocket, and if you still have the option of an email receipt, do it.

They voted the night of April 3rd, 2013 to close and then put a pop up on the computers so we could see it the next day. The RD/DMs were called, and some of those stepped up on their own time and contacted their teams, and some did not. Those teams who were not contacted found a pop up on their browser, informing them not to clock in they were closed. Your letter will not protect you, and though I'm no lawyer, I think the wording is designed to protect them not you.

The DM said 99.99 % the purchase transaction is going through but they have not made any announcement about the date of when exactly the deal is sealed.
If they have already bought the assets of the company to keep all studios running why would they ask us to sign such letter in advance? They definitely are going to shut down the business at some point if not entirely it is partially so that they won't have to pay all long term employees severance.
I think we all better look for something else to start fresh although it is hurt.
What they did to all the employees in the US they would not treat us any differently.
Those individuals have no morale nor humane principles.
