    What? How are you a top manager and did not foresee the possibility of an economic slump affecting your business?

    Let's rewrite this: due to managerial incompetence, we are closing down without advance notice. You'll have to sue us for the legally required 60 days of severance pay.

      Some more details to read, TLDR: They were in trouble already.

      >In June of this year, the company terminated its CEO, CFO and executive vice president of sales, and named former Standard Furniture President Todd Evans as CEO. The company subsequently restructured its sales organization and named Ruff Thomas and Keith News to sales leadership roles, with Thomas named president, sales for Lane’s domestic division and News named to the role of president, sales for Lane’s import division.

      >One month later, the company laid off 300 employees and closed or repurposed several facilities. This included closing its metal stamping facility in High Point; transitioning a manufacturing factory in Amory, Miss., to a warehousing-only facility; and transitioning a Winston-Salem, N.C., operation to an East Coast distribution center.

      I just thought of something else. If the company has pension plans, they'll have to be transferred to the Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation ( #PBGC ), an agency that seeks to protect employees' pension benefits.
