Couldn't agree more.

My very first job was working as a sales associate at the Gymboree flagship store in NYC.

Corporate (in CA) left alllllll employees' information unencrypted on computers that were stolen one night.

I made minimum wage; had to pay out of pocket for identity monitoring services for corporate's idiocy.

Yup.

Between that and having to show up at 7am for a "loss prevention course" (see: if you take of the plastic shopping bags for your spare set of shoes, that counted as "theft"), I was not sad to see the company go under.

Yup. Store manager (who was actually a great person) decided to leave shortly after that and the rest of us jumped ship with her.
