323 of the 373 W. stores will shut their doors in six weeks’ time, with the remaining 50 to remain open through Christmas, one last gasp, I suppose. Those who choose to stay until closing will receive a severance package and unemployment. Palisades (where my last day is August 10th, I’ll be working across the hall at X. starting Monday) is one of the fifty. Jefferson Valley (where I used to work, with a psychotic manager and two-faced coworkers), is not. Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of people. I know I’m engaging in schadenfreude, but can anyone blame me?

She's just kind of confused and muddled, and she gets a bit worried…She just needs someone to be kind to her…Because there came times when the darkness cleared from her mind, and she was happy again, and she laughed at her fears and blessed him for looking after her so well; and she was so full of love and sweetness then that he could think of no better companion… - Philip Pullman

Yes you are right. It couldn’t have happened to a nicer group.
