Giving them the sack.... some spoilers


I would like to know, why there were all so angry with their boss for giving them all the sack.....I know, I know, they have a bleak future without their job etc...but it's not like he really wanted to sell the restaurant, like out of spite or something...he said he wasn't earning a lot of money anymore with his restaurant....it seemed like he had 'no choice'...obviously he made a different choice in the end, which I think is a bit naive...to go on just to give his employees a job.....I'm sorry, but no money- no jobs !!!
Please enlighten me !!

He barely gave them any notice at all.

A big part of the anger was about the boss not telling them himself. It was a one of those workplaces where everyone is sort of like a family, and when it came down to it, instead of talking with everyone directly, and telling them how hard the decision was, etc., the boss sent in a "henchman" to do his dirty work. That approach usually pĂ­sses people off.
