Effective immediately, Sega Gameworks of Detroit is officially closed.  I was asked by my boss to call all of my employees (75 employees) to inform them that they no longer had a job.

  Today is the worst day of my career.......

Oh and by the way.  I will only be employed for the next two weeks. 

Gonna go home and get drunk :-[ :-/

Wow. How many total employees were there?  Sorry to hear about that. Firing one person is a bad day, can't imagine doing it to 75 people at once. Severnce package? I think its about time for Detroit to make an EVACUATION.

It's a sad thing when people loose their jobs.

Yep, a loost job is a horrible thing.

They closed several locations today: Long Beach, Calif.; Columbus, Ohio; Detroit; Minneapolis; Indianapolis and Miami. Eight other GameWorks locations will remain open. The closings are part of a company restructuring announced today.

Sorry to hear it Sfritr. Sucks.

Sorry to hear it man.  Almost had to go through the same thing about a month ago and remember what I felt like; things worked out and I didn't have to follow through.

Hope your people understand and don't take it out on you, I know you already feel bad enough.

Tough times, I was laid off also due t downsizing.

This is not good news.

I wish you the best of luck.Keep your head up,it's about all you can do right now.Hopefully things will turn around for everybody.

Michigan is still in a bad place as far as unemployment goes.There is still hardly anything out there.

You are correct.  the remaining locations are being set up for purchase from an outside buyer.  The rest of us are being sold piece by piece like a garage sale.

Unfortunately, no severence packages were given to any employees except myself and my sales director. 

Time to update the ol resume and join the 26% unemployment michigan workforce.

Dude, that just sucks.

I can't imagine havin to tell 75 people they just lost their job as well as loosin mine.

That really sucks man! I hate to hear that.
