    Sorry, maybe I’m mixing them up with some other nightmare of a company, aren’t they out of business? Execs probably already secured all their extra $$$$ and this 2.3 will have to come out of what they get selling the office chairs, and probably before any employees get anything they are entitled to.

      Bankrupt and the founder and ceo is the new owner after buying it in the bankruptcy auction.

        Perfect so I’m sure this settlement will affect absolutely nobody it should.
