Brookfield Properties was recently taken over by the private equity arm of the company, Brookfield ASSet Management. Earlier this year they fired our much loved CEO Jared Chapaila, and replaced him with a total jerk named Kevin McCrain. At the town hall held after our CEO’s firing, McCrain gave us zero information about what to expect and instead talked about his “Instagram famous” pugs. On Wednesday, they laid off 100 people in the corporate office. One longtime (23 years) employee was met by security after a big property meeting - that’s how she found out she lost her job right in front of everyone. These people are ruthless pigs. They are also not in compliance with the WARN Act or the severance pay it requires.

Whoever said it’s made up is a liar. I happen to be among those laid off, and it was done in such a cruel manner. We had consultants in the office since February, so for more than 7 months everyone was scared shitless and it destroyed our quality of life. In the end, the consultants did nothing - the highly paid managers voted on who to lay off so they kept their jobs and those of their “besties.” High performers and hard workers were the ones let go, especially if they were older. Brookfield Properties is currently being investigated by the Illinois Department of Labor for failing to file a WARN notice and for failing to pay employees the proper severance as required by the WARN Act. Led by dead-eyed, inhuman, vile Canadian Bruce Flatt, this company is pure evil. I predict they’re going to put a lot of American banks out of business when they stop paying the mortgages on their numerous office properties across the country. They’ve already started. Haha they have a sign hanging in their corporate office that says “Do the Right Thing.” Such hypocrites - so disgusting!
Its not made up there was mass layoffs.
So much of this is untrue. Literally made up! Get your facts straight!
