I'm slow and on my phone...y'all post too fast! Anyways...
Being sympathetic to everyone involved isn't easy. People want someone to blame. But sometimes, there isn't someone to blame. (Not saying ben didnt screw up, but if it comes to light he did in fact suffer and mental breakdown...well) do we blame stacey for leaving like she did? Ben for not getting help when he needed it?
Melody stated that the paid for animals will be shipped, possibly as soon as next week. The employees who lost their jobs might very well have them back soon. But maybe not, and that does suck. All of this blame game is a moot point until Ben admits to a breakdown. If he denys it, well there's a whole other thread on who is to blame for the crappy HR and CS.
I feel bad for everyone in this mess...the employees, the buyers, ben and Stacey. I just dislike people jumping on the blame wagon before evidence or facts are clear.
