That's terrible and it sucks, but honestly they announced the team moving April 2023. They gave 1.5 years notice 1.5 years ago right? How much more do you expect?
Yeah. They'll get unemployment though, right? Since they're being laid off, they should qualify for unemployment. They're in California, so they should get benefits.
You really shouldn't be surprised about losing health insurance either, since in the US it's tied to your job. I assume, it being CA, that they'll have some form of medicaid for unemployed people as well.
Sounds like the company is also going out of business... typically we can't expect a bankrupt company to provide these benefits. This is why there needs to be a gov't payer of last resort here for these sort of things.
If she's worked there for 24 years, and she started when she was 18, that means she was born no later than 1982.
But she might have had other odd jobs before that, so I suspect she's probably from Gen X, a generation that grew up in an era with a future that included Social Security and Pensions; sucks to learn the hard way that Capitalists don't care about tenure or loyalty, and that most of us are numbers on an expense sheet to them.
what's this coliseum shit, this is the second time I've seen this, it's colosseum. is this another aluminum/aluminium shit?
The Colosseum is in Rome.
The Coliseum is in Oakland, LA and any other place calling themselves a coliseum.

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.
