Wouldn’t it be nice to simply merge with your competition – Especially with a sweet buyout option? It was a little over a year ago that Men’s Wearhouse and Jos. A. Bank ended months of contentious lawyerly booms and joined forces, with Men’s Wearhouse acquiring the smaller clothing chain for $1.8 billion. Now, the after-party has come to an end, and Men’s Wearhouse is laying off or “moving” some employees at Jos. A. Bank HQ from Maryland. Not good news to hear if you work the company? I guess depends how you look at it.
