Screenshot of a post on r/Seattle by Imaginary-Hamster-74 The CEO of the Space Needle & Chihuly Decided to lay off the entire photo department today Community I’m beyond frustrated and disappointed. The CEO of the Space Needle sent out a memo today, saying that the photo department from the Space Needle & Chihuly are going to be laid off, effective the last week of May, signed by the CEO of the Needle. This was a small department, that had been trying to unionize for more than 6 months, nearly at the finish line to sign their contract. Many of the people in this department had been working there for more than 3-5 years. This goes to show their solely profit driven, anti-union heartlessness that goes directly against what they should be doing, serving the community. How disappointing. CEO must need a new mansion I guess 🤷‍♂️
