Great Grains is (likely) suspending operations
1207941
The grain market is absolutely atrocious. Very little is being purchased by food companies - yet they're still managing to produce, somehow - and the price competition is ludicrously ridiculous. The grain market is completely unsustainable as it is completely over-saturated. As a nation, we're over-producing, and Great Grains is no exception.
First, we have already pulled all of Great Grains's stock of Q2 grain off the market. There's no sense in trying to compete with such an over-saturated market when no-one's buying, especially not at unsustainable prices.
Second, we will fire inactive employees. If you haven't worked in 3 days, expect to be fired.
Third, we have to make a choice, and our employees have to help us make this decision. We will either have to suspend operations completely - meaning fire all our employees - or we will have to cut everyone's wages drastically, likely down to the minimum wage. We will PM you with a link to this article so that you can know the situation, and you can reply to the PM with your decision.
Expect those PMs soon.
Sincerely,
REF Holdings

dont mind what choice you make in regards to continuation of employment but would appreciate a day or 2 notice before firinf if that is your choice
As a co-owner of great grains, I feel it is best to temporarily shut down and sell stock over time. And when the time is right open up again.
The admins made a terrible mistake by giving food companies a stock of 1000 grain.
Yet, we want our workers to able to continue to work so they can buy food and continue to live. For that I will personally contact companies and see if they are willing to take in employees. The problem is: as soon as an offer comes on the market it will be likely snagged up by other people due to the huge unemployment.
