You have to realize that many of these outraged employees are facing unemployment. There were large cuts in personnel that Menke orchestrated over the past couple months. These people now see many of their coworkers and friends unemployed with their jobs next... Yes they are mad.
It doesn't seem Menke is concerned with his people. At least Phildo said he was concerned with his people... Even if it was just lip service. Menke's conference to the employees was marked with "his duty to the share holders to make a profit"
