Remember how much time we spent talking about 'The Process?'
The Sixers have nothing on the folks who run Philadelphia Energy Solutions.
After a massive explosion and fire that rocked the southwest Philly refinery - and the surrounding community - the company made clear its intention.
Their plan was to shut down the plant and lay off workers.
They filed for bankruptcy protection - their second trip to court seeking protection from creditors.
Workers got a reprieve when the company said immediate layoffs would be delayed for five weeks while the company worked to shut the plant down and prepare it for a possible sale.
That reprieve ran out this week.
The company refers to letting the workforce go as being 'processed.'
Workers have another way of describing it.
The end of a way of life.
