'No warning' | Text message tells 400 workers they've lost their jobs

Hundreds of employees were told by text message that they’d lost their jobs after their company collapsed.

Advanced Traffic Management (ATM), a roadworks firm in Perth, Australia, went into liquidation days ago, and when workers arrived for their shifts in the morning, they received a text telling them they’d been let go, according to media outlet Seven News.

Around 400 employees were affected, it was reported.

“Effective end of all shifts today, your employment with ATM shall cease,” the message to staff read.
