High-end furniture maker Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams abruptly shut down in its home state of North Carolina last weekend after more than three decades in business, leaving hundreds of workers out of a job with little notice or explanation
On Saturday, signs were posted on the truck gate and office door of the company’s main plant in Taylorsville, informing employees, “Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams has recently and unexpectedly learned that we are unable to continue business operations” and telling them not to report to work on Monday, according to the Taylorsville Times.
The notice added, “We are sorry about the difficulties this may cause. As soon as we have a schedule to get your tools & personal belongings, we will contact you. Thank you.”
