Apparently most of the employees were also blindsided by the last minute announcement. Which leads to my proposal for a new revenue source for shrinking mainstream media, at least TeeVee. Instead of using email or a phone call to avoid eye contact with the employee getting screwed, have the local TeeVee station run a special feature called "Job Watch" during the 11 PM news that would announce any sudden shutdowns while the company CEO is out of town. For a fee the CEO could use the news media in its most traditional role: the bringer of bad news.
