Why would they bring the area merchandising managers back. That is a useless position.

Cuts at warehouse?

I've heard that over 700 warehouse workers let go. Doses that mean more fulfilment orders to fill at store level. We can't even do the TBS that they send us. No help, with the recent cuts.

Store Manager's should be cut.

Separation package

Has anyone received their separation package in the mail? I'd like to fill it out to get my severance asap
