The New York Post report­ed that Ale­jan­dro Rhett, vice pres­i­dent of men’s mer­chan­dis­ing at the strug­gling cloth­ing com­pa­ny, deliv­ered the news Wednes­day to some of the 175 work­ers affect­ed by the lay­offs at the com­pa­ny’s New York City head­quar­ters. He then went drink­ing with oth­er employ­ees at the Linen Hall bar, their cel­e­bra­tions doc­u­ment­ed — and exten­sive­ly hash­tagged — on Instagram.

After telling mem­bers of his team they had lost their jobs, a J.Crew exec­u­tive went drink­ing and cel­e­brat­ing with oth­er employ­ees at a bar, post­ing goofy pho­tos and The Hunger Games jokes on Instagram.

One pho­to depict­ing Rhett and a female friend jump­ing for joy used the hash­tags #hungergames and #maytheodds­beev­eriny­our­fa­vor, osten­si­bly com­par­ing the bloody bat­tles royale of the young adult dystopi­an nov­el to the lay­offs. J.Crew employ­ee Julie Sta­mos post­ed anoth­er pho­to where she and Rhett pose for a ​“casu­al pho­to shoot” out­side Linen Hall, com­plete with hash­tags #forthewin and #damnit­feels­good­to­bea­gang­ster.

The pho­tos have since been tak­en down, and a J.Crew spokesman said the com­pa­ny ​“does not con­done” the behav­ior of Rhett and the oth­er employ­ees. ​“As soon as we were made aware, the appro­pri­ate actions took place,” said the spokesman with­out elaboration.

A J.Crew insid­er, the Post report­ed, crit­i­cized Rhet­t’s ​“poor judg­ment” and ​“inap­pro­pri­ate” behav­ior. ​“J.Crew has seri­ous issues right now, and no one in the office had a smile on their face that day.” The lay­offs came after J.Crew report­ed mount­ing loss­es in its first quar­ter, with sales drop­ping by 5 per­cent com­pared to the same peri­od in 2014 and an oper­at­ing loss of near­ly $521 million.

Com­pa­ny exec­u­tives have blamed J.Crew’s poor per­for­mance on var­i­ous fash­ion faux pas in their cat­a­log, such as the ​“Tilly,” a crop-top wom­en’s sweater that bombed and end­ed up in the sale pile.
