Shock Layoffs: 60 Employees Dismissed via WhatsApp Just Before Christmas!

Mass Layoffs at Pursuit Marketing

In a shocking turn of events, 60 employees of the marketing group 4iCG Ltd, operating under the brands Pursuit Marketing and Your Shortlist, were informed of their termination via WhatsApp without any pay just days before Christmas.

Pursuit Marketing's offices are located in Finneston, Glasgow

The layoffs occurred on December 11, and it has been reported that the company went into liquidation the day prior to the announcement. Distressed employees were left without their December wages, leading to outrage and frustration among the staff.

Allegations Against Management

Reports suggest that after delivering the news, the company's co-founder and COO, Robert Copeland and Lorraine Gray, allegedly left for Spain, where they have another office in Torremolinos. Employees expressed their anger, describing the actions of the management as disgraceful, stating:

"Absolute scumbags Pursuit Marketing. Leaving people with no pay or wages in December. How can you look at yourselves in the mirror!"

Company Background

Pursuit Marketing specializes in demand generation, telemarketing, digital marketing, and creative design. Previously, the company had a good reputation, even treating staff to an all-expenses-paid trip to Tenerife six years ago as a reward for their hard work.

However, now the employees are left without any resources or communication from the management, as both the company's Facebook page and website have been taken down, and phone lines go unanswered.

The Future of Affected Employees

The managing director at Interpath, overseeing the liquidation, has assured support for the affected employees in applying for the Redundancy Payments Service. As the situation unfolds, the community watches closely as the fate of the employees remains uncertain.
