Because they just got laid off .Beacuse it was on Marketplace .Because it was in New York City .Because they were broadcasting from outside Lehmann Bros.
Why were former employees were coming out with their stuff in boxes ?
Yesterday on Marketplace , they were broadcasting from outside Lehmann Bros. in New York City . They mentioned that as former employees were coming out with their stuff in boxes , not only was the press chasing them down the street with cameras trying to get a comment , but tourists were actually snapping photos . I know how horrible I felt the two times I was laid off from a company I really loved , believed in , and had put my whole heart into . I ca n't imagine how much harder that day would have been if some schmoe from Nebraska was standing there with his disposable camera going " Look Edna !
