It was quite a shock to hear about the closing.

Although I enjoyed my job and took great pride in it, the management at that time (20 years ago) was horrible.

It was management by intimidation and insults. I actually saw grown men cry while taking abuse from certain people.

Finally, needing to look out for my own interests, I left.

And they sued me.

It was strictly malicious on their part. They had no basis to sue, but it cost me money anyway to fight it.
