any ex-mazerites in tennessee: many of us in ohio have been in contact about the circumstances of the closure. please contact myself or someone else if you have not as we all try to sort this out and move forward.
Sounds like a few either know who did it or who may have done it.
We all know people that work places that if this had occured we would think to ourself “I bet it was “Blank” that did that, sounds like something he would do”.
I can see both sides, its ashame and I will say the ability to keep benefits after you become unemployed is a joke. The way they worded theirs so they can just drop you is bad and even if they don’t and your allowed to continue it, it’s so expensive and your out of work so who can really afford to continue to pay it.
Who ever did do this needs to hope they covered their trail and they need to keep their mouth shut because if or when they get caught, the judge and DA will not care why you did it.
Good luck to all effected by this, God Bless, keep your head up.
Don’t be quick to judge. If the vandal is an employee, then the vandal’s loss of health insurance and income may result in the death of a family member having costly cancer treatments. Mazer closed all communication channels except for the forklift, so why should it be a surprise when someone delivers a message via forklift?
You stay classy, former Mazer employees.
Just the kind of thing that makes Johnson City THE business destination!
‘The pump don’t work cause the vandals took the handles’ while ‘the exec’s’ were in the Bahamas for the ‘holidays’....drinking Champaign from the bellybuttons of their $1000 hookers.
I am sure it didn’t make them feel better but their frustration is completely understandable. Desperate people resort to desperate measures. You have so many families that are devestated by this and someone just snapped. I don’t condone it, don’t get me wrong but I can empathize with them considering the way the shutdown was handled. Think of how you would feel if you had given years of service and been a loyal employee to a company and your family meals depended on them and then they just walk in one morning and say, we are closing and you may very well not get paid for you last two days of work. This is very personal for some people.
It does not take rocket science to figure out a former employee did this.
Now they are out of work and going to jail for what looks like a felony.
Real smart. I hope it makes them feel better. At least no one was hurt.
