I very much doubt that the decision to fire the employees was made the day before it happened. It's something that's been talked about for quite awhile, I'm sure, so yes, I think, even if financially strapped they could have either given notice or a severance package, simply by firing them earlier and not having them work through the last day complete unawares.

However, criticizing that action (which is what I was asking about), is entirely different scenario than any Evil Russian-sterotypes or Satan Incarnate name-calling you might have seen.

I mean, if it's the Satan hyperbole that bothers you, you should have seen what people were flinging during strikethrough and boldthrough. That was far worse.

If it's Anti-Russian sentiment, then, yeah, those people are rascist jerks, regardless of their stance on SUP's actions, and I'm sad to hear that there are people saying such things.
