Good Riddance

I worked at the company for several years and as a logical thinker, it always baffled me how the company was still trading. The company bought the cheapest Chinese crap it could get its hands on, repackaged it and sold it on for 1000% markup or more. The electronics range went gradually shrinking over the years, as it was slowly replaced with shitty toys, stupid stocking-filler disposable garbage gadgets and novelty items which broke the first time you used them. It became poundland. And the staff were treated no better than staff at poundland. Just a general disdain towards anyone with a brain, crabs in a bucket all vying for the position of regional manager (who seemed to change every 6 months as they were all shit). I'm not the least bit saddened by this news, it was in the cards from way back, it just took longer than expected for the tower to crumble. Good bloody riddance.
