Companies always lie about financials and frame M&A as a good thing. They will always say that nobody is going to lose their job. If your company is selling itself to another, just find your way out as soon as you can. You don't know you are going to lose your job until the day it happens... Especially in cases of M&A.

r/DumpsterDiving on Reddit: PSA: Big Lots closing more (possibly all) stores beginning tomorrow
November 6, 2024 -
Big Lots just announced that they anticipate closing all of their remaining stores - over 960 across the US - beginning tomorrow if they're unable to complete a sale of the company to a private equity firm in the next couple of weeks. Source: Big Lots Press Release
However, they're beginning "Going out of Business" sales as soon as tomorrow at some stores. r/BigLots (mostly employees) has multiple threads with good info, some including specific locations. One thread said that BL corporate said that they would have their benefits until February 17, so if all stores close, it'll be within the next 6-8 weeks.
Side note: I feel REALLY bad for the employees - so many people without jobs, in this economy, during the holidays. And reading through some of the threads in r/BigLots, it sounds like the employees were lied to & blindsided.
Happy & safe hunting y'all :)

You probably aren't going to find much in the dumpster for a few months, and it will mainly be fixtures or office supplies they couldn't sell. Liquidators are about to swoop in and sell everything that isn't nailed down.
