>CEO Barry Litwin delivered the news to corporate employees on a conference call Friday, informing them it would be their last day of employment.>The company had 6,400 full-time and 10,000 part-time workers as of 2021. The employees will not receive severance pay and after Friday will no longer have benefits.>The New Jersey-based company hired Litwin in August of this year, touting his expertise “in fostering business growth and transformation” at the time.>”I am excited to join Party City at a pivotal time as we reposition the business for a stronger future,” Litwin said in a news release announcing his hire.
>>491935292Stupid fucking covid bullshit "The pressure intensified due to the effects of the COVID pandemic, a helium shortage — a gas the chain relied on for its party balloons — and slowing consumer demand. Party City was successfully expanding before the pandemic and had sales of $2.35 billion in 2019, according to Forbes."The government really did a lot of damage overhyping the covid bullshit. They fucked up so many iconic businesses in this country, fucking cunts. I hate the government so god damn much. The reaction to covid did way more harm that that stupid overhyped flu virus ever could have done on its own
>>491935292>The employees will not receive severance pay
>>491935771>today is your last day.>no severance.>benefits end today too.>Ha! Thanks for playing!
>>491936123>Wednesday is Christmas
>>491935292>the email subject was "Party's over, everyone go home."
>>491935771I bet Litwinsteinbergbaum got a very shiny golden parachute for his important and dedicated 4 months of service to the company though.
>>491936273> Litwinsteinbergbaum> dedicated 4 months of service to the company though.My thoughts exactly
>>491935292
>>491936273> I bet Litwinsteinbergbaum got a very shiny golden parachute Do you think it included round the clock security? 17,000 people received this treatment days before Christmas
wait hourly employees got laid off too?
>>491935292So what's he getting out of failing?
>>491935292What a Christmas gift to the world it would be if one of them killed this demon kike
>>491936630Everyone. They’re closing the doors for good.> https://archive. ph/ptoTWhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/barrylitwin
>>491936273of course. I also bet all the other tribe members also got nice severance packages or a heads up so they could have moved on already. only goys get left holding the empty bag
>>491935683Sure but overhyping it got the orange man bad out of office for a while so senile man lost could doter around for a term.
>>491936479Watch out for Chitwood. Old /b/ is back though feels goodman
>>491935292If you've ever actually been in a Party City you'd know why they're going under. Went in one a few months back. Was extremely early for an appointment and there was a shopping center across the street, so I thought I'd walk around and browse. The place was almost completely empty. I saw maybe one other shopper inside. Wall after wall of nothing but cheap chinese crap. Walls of costumes. Walls of ornamentation and supplies. I walked out and thought how many people on a daily basis could be flocking to this place. How much is the upkeep on just keeping the lights on inside. How much is the lease? How can they keep operating when everything inside you can find on Amazon for cheaper?
>>491935292the guy literally looks like a rat
>>491935292A lot of Jews named Barry. My mom is friends with a kike named Barry.
>>491937126Fuck shit wood That closeted fagget. I hope he wasted on live tv.
>corporate employeesOh good, the bureaucratic parasites get fucked after making a career of blaming labor for their bullshit KPI goals.Fuck 'em all.
>>491937173this is every business now, the whole business model of amazon is that everything is the same made in china shit, so you don't even need to look at it and you just buy the cheapest most convenient one. that's the only reason amazon is successful, it has nothing to do with their logistics or technology or whatever the fuck
>>491936273>>491936479>CEO badyou wont do shit
>>491937588That's half true, but don't underestimate AWS and how willing they were to throw money back into their warehouse engineering and on the road logistics. Bezos is pretty good a keeping outsiders from syphoning the profits.
>>491935771They didn't get paid shit anyway
>>491937794corpo kool-aid
>>491936610doubt they can afford a ticket to Israel then.
i get all my party supplies at spatual city. they're open until midnight!
It looks like the party's over.
>>491936914You get the call from someone above you>Kill your companyAnd you do it. You don't question it, you just do it, knowing no matter what happens you'll be taken care of.It's a sacrifice ritual.
>>491937588>the whole business model of amazon is that everything is the same made in china shitIt's the business model of virtually everything everywhere.But what else to expect? Everything manufacturing was outsourced and whatever resisted folded anyway due to energy costs and hamfisted regulation.It's why I buy from AliExpress, might as well pay some slant right away and get it for a quarter instead of enriching some middle men.Sometimes I buy something that's shit or doesn't work but whatever, I don't even bother to refund it. Just trash it, still cheaper than trying to get it via a "local" company
>>491935292Happy Hanukkah
>>491937476Get extradited bro
>>491936273>he believes in equalityfucking commie shitskin this is and has always been a fascist board
>>491938440ThisI have seen products that are literally sold in Japanese dollar stores (Daiso and the like) for TEN times the price in Norwegian "local" shops. And you know the japs ALREADY 10x'd the Chinese production cost of that trash.Like, how long can this charade stay propped up? It's just a question of time, and surely all the richfags are aware of it by now.
Litwin is a jewish name, if you were wondering.
>>491937871Except he is right. Fren, most of us who work for Amazon secretly and/or openly hate the place but the absolute beast they have created is as impressive as it is relentless. Buy elsewhere by all means (especially during PEAK), but do not doubt the Amazon obsession with efficiency and modernization. I'll close by reiterating that MOST of the employees hate the place but the benefits are good and the pay good enough to keep them there until they just absolutely burn out.
>>491938070CARLOS!
>>491935292So, he became CEO and 4 months later they close everything? He shouldn't even get a paycheck
>>491939248I think every certified anon / noticer needed only see that ratesque visage to know he was a kike. Early life? Not needed.
>>491935292Would be a shame if something happened to him
>>491939481>>491939248I felt it was unnecessary to mention in the OP as well. Perhaps useful for new fags.
>>491939335(((They))) likely brought him in with every intention of shuttering the place by Christmas after stringing along the wagies with talk of a bright future only to summarily shit-can them once the holiday rush was over. Squeeze some last shekels out of them then adios amigos.
>>491937173Selling 10 cent Chink Mylar balloons for $20 is hard work, goy.
>>491939543They should seal every orifice and pump him full of helium until he looks like the kike version of the blueberry girl in Willy Wonka and explodinates.
>>491936206I'm sure that's breaking MR. LITWIN's heart.
>>491939672To me, would have made more sense to start liquidating product after Jan 1st to get rid of all that fucking inventory, but the lack of doing so makes me think they already had someone taking the stock remaining for enough that it made more money for the kikes than keeping the space open and having minimal staff.
> Update: Barry has decided to take down the photo on his LinkedIn profile.
Today was the office Holiday party too.
MERRY CHRISTMAS WORKER BEES
>>491935683You forgot how it was all orchestrated by Israelis who are now forcing the USA to defend them in their 5-Front war- all cuz some nigger named solomon had spiritual orgies with Canaanite demons or something

>>491940579>>491940524>>491935292>CEO Magazine >Although important to deliver change at the management level, making sure employees throughout the business felt engaged was also essential. To do this, Global Industrial introduced a nine-box talent assessment process that helped to “develop, promote and optimize” human resources in the business.
>>491935292I don't even know what "PARTY CITY" had inside. Literally never been in one and dollar general has everything.
>>491939335
>>491939770kek
>>491935292I worked at a Party City in the 90's while I was in college. It was actually a fun place to work. The business model was basically to make so much money at Halloween to cover annual expenses so that the rest of the year was just profit. And it worked. The entire month of October was crazy how much money they raked in. We had to hire security to manage the crowds. But once you could buy costumes online, they were doomed. I'm surprised they lasted this long.
>>491940524>>491941404babylon must fall
>>491940325>>491940157Merry Christmas! XOXO, Barry
>>491936206Seems like so many businesses shut down like this a few days before Christmas. Every year.

>>491938070
>>491935292>CEO Barry Litwin
>>491940582we've already hit collapse. even reshoring would take decades to gain back all the expertise in not only producing things but building the machines to do it and service them. we lost an incredible ton of knowledge with boomers croaking out off covid. we are in for a rocky road even if we tariff everything to death and start tomorrow it would take a decade before things really began improving but it would accelerate quickly once off the ground
>>491944013You just learned that Jews are honestly not that smart or skilled at anything.
>>491941404party city was run off skeleton crews of teen agers and a couple token mid life given up types. like any company the corporate office though was no doubt filled to the brim with 10 admins for every store all but one of them jewish per the numbers
>>491944587>You just learned that Jews are honestly not that smart or skilled at anything.their most valuable skills are nepotism and having zero morals or v4vpethics
See You at the Party, Litwin!
>>491942050that's because it gets jews off to ruin Christmas for goys
>>491941861>>491942479>>491944683based ceo mogging the wagies.
>>491944013to be fair going back 3+ decades there were many incredibly talented jews in most industries. unfortunately even jews have now succumbed to the ills of tribalism and nepotism over merit>oh my cousin Merv's kid would be great for a job at X corpo he just graduated college from X jewish schooleven jews are not immune to the poison, in fact I say they get double the dose which is why they continually parasitize the best of the goys into becoming jewish or having jewish kids
>>491941721That + rising real estate costs up to '08 and after i assumed they already went out of business at least a decade ago.
>>491944518We're in the new gilded age boys.It won't be until all world economies collapse bigly and we get some nationalist isolationist figures in key nations that the clock will continue turning.

>>491937965>i get all my party supplies at spatual cityBut they sell spatulas, and that's all?
I don’t get management saying “hey surprise, you’re out of a job. We are closing.”They knew it was coming higher up. Why not give the employees a month notice or something
>>491944945What if instead of Russian sleeper agents in America, it was Jewish ones all along/also
>>491945890there's still some talented ones sure, the point was that even they have fallen to the eventual retardation that befalls anything when you abandon merit

>>491944846Hell, no.
>>491946132> They knew it was coming higher up. Why not give the employees a month notice or somethingProductivity might suffer. They might use their health benefits before losing them. They might steal from the company that planned to shaft them.
>>491939248Bro, you know what’s fucked? I didn’t have to google the CEO to know it was a Jew who did this

>>491938440Same, and get scammed Ali you are out $2. Get scammed on Amazon you're out $20. I do have a tendency to do my searches on Amazon and the just pop the same terms or images into ali and it's the best of both. And I can always wait two weeks for delivery when it's chink shit.
>>491947200Same, its already happening but it wont truly come back without a crisis>>491948460You seriously overestimate how hard it is to work in a factory
>>491952974I agree. I think it’s gonna take the dollar shitting the bed and ww3 kicking off. Both are inevitable at this point unfortunately.
>>491953300That would actually be very benficial to the industrial sector specifically. Thats why im in school for industrial engineering. 15 years from now it will be like being one of the cali tech bros 10 years ago who got paid $500k/yr to do 5 minutes of work a day at home in their underwear
