FalconStor founder found dead

A little unfortunate

...that the source of the photo is a company called 'Both Barrels'.

Garlands folds: 1000 call-centre jobs axed in Northeast

Hardly flaming

I just think there are better ways of doing it - an email explaining the situation, letters from HR maybe. Maybe some of that happened but the article implies it was more blunt.

Better staff development?

"The firm, which worked with Vodafone, TalkTalk and Virgin Media among others, promised better staff development than many call centres are infamous for."

then

"Chief Executive Chey Garland told staff over the PA system yesterday afternoon that their jobs had gone and they had an hour to leave the building"

I hope they treated their staff better while they were actually employed.
