Letting our team know that the business is closing.
How should I break the news to them? The business is operating fine but the two split owners can't get along. One of the owners has been making decisions that I can only guess was to crash the business. Rather than sell to his partner he is refusing. The partner even offered him the full amount of the evaluation instead of his half and he still refused it.
Long story short, the business is closing. This is likely the last week. I've been dropping warnings as much as I could the last few months so it's not entirely out of the blue but it's still going to be sudden for them. We thought we had another month at least. And yes, I'm loosing my job too.
So, what's the best way to tell them? Oh, and we all have to keep working for the rest of the week simply to make enough money to make payroll. So we're not even going to be able to stop working today.
