"Our main customer left a hole with us more than £ 500,000 and with that, we have to close our activities. I am selling everything to honor with my suppliers, my employees, "claims Marcos Paulo. The businessman explains that he has the hotel chain for 14 years, and the last three settled in Itaboraí to meet the demand of Comperj.

On the other hand, the People's restaurant never received so many customers and tries to fit the demand. "Thank God we have this popular restaurant that causes us to feed every day," says the former employee of an outsourced company Comperj, Ricardo dos Santos Laurindo. The restaurant, which charges 1 real (m/l 30 euro cent) for a meal, has become a magnet for the unemployed. "We are finding many friends here in the restaurant," confirms Antionio, who worked in the complex as owner. Between bites are many sad stories.
