I've seen companies give bonus's to all levels of employees to get them to stay until the door are locked for the last time. 

Yes, those 'completion bonuses' are pretty normal for a lot of companies closing up.  My cousin's husband got $2500 for staying until the last day at his Sharon Luggage store when they were closing it up.  He spent the last 2 days just kicking a soccer ball around an empty store b/c they'd already cleared out all the inventory, and then sold the fixtures to a store down the street.

It's amazing how many customers are whining.  Some guy on the news this morning upset about the sales not having started yet and wants to know why.  He feels like he's being deceived.  Because, you know, it's all about them.  To hell with everyone losing their jobs.  They don't matter.  It's all about them getting their stuff cheap.  The guy whining probably hadn't stepped in a Toys R Us in years.

The ones that have a legit beef are the ones that signed up with the Babies R Us rewards registries and are not going to get their reward payouts until after Toys R Us set a cut-off date for using the gift cards.
