Скачать или смотреть The Party Ends: Tupperware’s Bankruptcy as a Cautionary Tale of Missed Shifts

When Tupperware’s financial decline turned into a legal and operational collapse, the impact was not just in balance sheets—it was deeply personal and regional.
Globally, the scale of human impact is magnified by Tupperware’s independent sales consultant base. At the time of the bankruptcy filing, the company disclosed employing about 5,450 direct employees in salaried roles, alongside approximately 465,000 independent sales contractors around the world. These contractors are often deeply embedded in local communities, relying on the consultant network not just for income, but for social connection, identity, and in many cases, a primary source of economic activity in areas with limited formal employment.
The collapse also had regional economic implications beyond immediate job loss.
