I think there is going to be a major shakeup in the structure of the company. My best guess is you will see a bunch of management replaced at all levels, from the top down to department managers in the stores. I did the job for many years, it isn't rocket science to run a store. What is difficult is dealing with the employees and customers and making them feel like family. The next year is going to be an interesting one for this company.

My goodness, when is this going to be over?

It's OK to like your CEO and protest because he was fired, but to walk off your job for this length of time is really just hurting the workers. The billionaire owners will get their money back but it will take a long time for the workers to recover.

IMHO someone is getting some bad advice about this whole thing.

I really never thought it would go this far when jmen24 started this post.

Even a strong union wouldn't have the Rocky Mountain Oysters to walk out like this.

Think of the Minutemen of 1776. Strong convictions.
