Are there any similar examples where companies had to ditch such a large number of employees for illegal behavior? I would sort of guess it must have happened on this type of scale a few times before, but I also can't of any examples, or even remember hearing of anything like this. Just how rare is this type of outcome?
Actually the firings are the odd outcome. Mostly the company just eats the fine and carries on with the same staff, but moving them around so the top sales people become managers, the managers become district/regional and so on. For them to blame the staff for what the upper management was encouraging for years smacks of a deal, or maybe just optics. The thing is that the LAST thing you want to get rid of is your highest profit sales people.
