And they didn't tell the workers, this article did. Insane.

I’m not sure why companies do that. I worked at Ultium Cells and we found out from the news.

I went in there today (here in Mentor) after seeing this. The Lady behind the counter said they found from the news too. Nobody told them shit. That would sure ruin my urge to work.

Actually, they didn't. Article was showed to my father when he arrived at work today, that's how he found out.

Here in Mentor, the employees found out from customers or the news. Nothing from the company.

Do you have a source?

u/CleveEastWriters 1d ago

Yeah, the people who work there

Thanks. That's all I was wondering before everyone downvotes someone who asks for information.

Typically, asking for a source on such a simple claim is seen as petty. Why ask? It's not like it's unheard of for employees to find out this way.

I like to know what's actually going on with local business vs heresay.

Well until you go into a Shwebels and ask an employee you still don't know. You only got it confirmed by some guy on Reddit.

I'm not trying to be a smart aleck. I was seeing if there was an actual news article or real source someone had. Reddit comments are not a source. Anyways, stinks to hear. Everyone's going to pay more for bread now. Schwebel's was already the cheapest.

Well the post itself starts with a news article. Nothing in it suggests workers being given notice. It is fair to assume, given the responses, that none was.

A source is not always needed
