I'll start by nominating a few examples
Embrace:
- Home Bargains, with their £30m fund for affected employees

- MacDonald hotels, providing employment opportunities for those affected by next example...
- Britannia hotels, sacking staff with immediate effect, including removal of their accommodation provision, and later backtracking blaming an "administrative error"
- Virgin Atlantic (?), with Branson whining about the need for emergency Government funds, whilst BA's owner IAG has been bullish that their finances are sound and no government intervention is required.
