Here in Canada, a large American business is liquidating their current stores in Canada. Given all the grief that current employees have gone through over the last couple months, managers are now threatening employees with firing over small things such as looking at their phones, taking long bathroom breaks, ect…. something that was never enforced or cared about before.
Is this a matter of the company trying to save money by being able to fire people and not being able to claim EI instead of employees staying with the company until the last day of liquidation?
This is all very shocking and seems to be coming from the company responsible for the liquidation on the store's behalf.
