Former Enron employees criticize relaunch as disrespectful publicity stunt

A company claiming to be Enron announced its relaunch on December 2, the 23rd anniversary of the company's bankruptcy. The announcement included a video and advertisements, but many former employees view it as a tasteless joke. Enron, once a major energy company, collapsed in 2001 due to massive fraud, leading to thousands of job losses and significant pension losses. The new entity appears to be a parody, as its website states the information is for entertainment purposes only. Some former employees, like Diana Peters, express anger over the relaunch, calling it disrespectful. In contrast, former Enron executive Sherron Watkins sees humor as a way to address uncomfortable historical events.
