@pulte Husband was laid off today from Akorn Pharmaceuticals which shut down with ZERO warning. Just pack your stuff and go. Really not a good time as we’re also 18 weeks pregnant 😭

My brother-in-law was a part of these layoffs yesterday. No severance, no insurance, no warning. Glad to see it’s getting covered—and investigated. https://t.co/ymHobjPLUG

Akorn Pharmaceuticals is entering chapter 7 bankruptcy and told all of their employees they're losing their jobs over a video call.

Their employees received a couple days notice that they were losing their jobs and not receiving any severance.

This is a catastrophic scenario that no one including myself saw coming and it’s heartbreaking. I am very encouraged to see the overwhelming outpouring of support from the community and HR peers coming together for our displaced Akorn team members. #akorn #decatur

[Joe Siedenburg, SPHR @RockstarSPHR]

We have families with both spouses who lost their jobs, expectant mothers who no longer have medical insurance, and many other tragic circumstances where long term dedicated employees have been left with nothing. #akorn #decatur

[Joe Siedenburg, SPHR @RockstarSPHR]

This has been a tragic week for our Akorn employees and I’ve been at a loss for words. The reality of the situation is that we have unemployed team members who received zero notice they no longer have jobs, don’t have severance, and don’t have health insurance. #decatur #akorn

It is your attitude at the beginning of a difficult task which, more than anything else, will affect its successful outcome.

[Coach Codutti @coachcodutti]

You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your attitude towards what happens to you. And in that, you will be mastering change rather than allowing it to master you.

[Phidelia Johnson @JohnsonPhidelia]

#Leaders: Great leaders surrounded themselves with workers who would tell them what is going on and not what they wanted to hear. For employees to speak truth to power, you must foster a culture where speaking candidly is encouraged & input shared is acknowledged & rewarded. #HR

[Amy C. Waninger @AmyCWaninger]

If you've never told your employees what "good" looks like, they'll have a tough time figuring it out. Be explicit about your expectations, and communicate clearly when those expectations change.
