Kika/Leiner employees insulted as “whores”
After the failed restructuring attempt, Kika/Leiner has now finally filed for insolvency. However, many customers are now stuck with their down payments as they will not get their money back. This has led to resentment and vicious insults below the belt.
From now on, Kika/Leiner will be selling many items in stock with a 30 percent discount. After the sale, the existing 17 stores are expected to close and the remaining 1,350 employees will lose their jobs.
Bankruptcy after a long crisis
The furniture chain has been in crisis for several years, with three changes of ownership since 2013. On Wednesday, the furniture chain withdrew its restructuring plan and filed for bankruptcy.
As the "Kurier" newspaper has now reported, employees in the furniture stores are being verbally abused by "aggrieved customers", "whose deposits may not be transferred back due to insolvency law provisions".
"Employees have it really bad"
Customer Daniela R. reported on her visit to one of the stores on "ZIB2" on Wednesday evening. "Angry" and "sad" was the mood there. "The employees are insulted, attacked in a loutish manner and told what whores they are. Even on the phone. They have it really bad," she is quoted as saying.
Affected customers can register their down payments as bankruptcy claims in the insolvency proceedings at the St. Pölten Regional Court. Customers are urged not to vent their anger to employees.
