Starbucks employees are going viral for…getting laid off.

Starbucks employees are going viral for…getting laid off. This week, Starbucks announced the closure of around 400 stores all at once, leaving employees shocked, upset, and often with very little notice of a massive change. And while the brand says some baristas will be relocated rather than losing their job entirely, some shared they had only days before they found out which was their fate. Across the country, employees posted heartfelt goodbyes with coworkers and some messages of disdain for CEO Brian Nichols’ announcement—with a few getting more than a million views.
