Company's new bold strategy to win
9/13: Announcement call to RDs
9/27: Staffing cuts, targeting 1.1 HC/store-hour
10/11: Store hours begin to be cut
10/18: Stores identified for closure, based on proximity to 24-hour stores, lease considerations, etc
11/01: Close previously identified stores. Drastically adjust hours at remaining non-24-hour stores, in a manner to frustrate parents with post-halloween returns (note: will be done without notice to the public)
11/15: At this point, everyone should know the drill with ACO. Reduce headcount to 1.0 HC/store-hour; basically presume customers will enroll in Carepass and pay on the honor system
11/22: Take advantage of the news cycle lull and declare a huge dividend, payable on 11/24
11/29: Could possibly file chapter 7, or maybe just ignore it and let creditors do it
11/30: If you get paid on that day, sorry
