I say condense the RVP role

These new cuts have to involve cutting some of the RVP’s. Do they really need that many? In all the concepts? There is one for Harmon? CTS? Baby? and several for bed bath. Isn’t that what the regional managers are for? The RM’s can handle taking some... — read more

Will stores be affected?

Every time next week's layoffs have been mentioned they were in relation to corporate. Does that mean the rest of us are safe?

Sales have never been worse

We have fewer people showing up at our store on a daily basis. Are others experiencing anything similar? I'm now convinced we'll be closed sooner rather than later if things don't improve.

Older employees should be prepared

If this rumor about more layoffs is true, I'm betting you older employees will once again be targeted. Every layoff so far I've seen a disproportionate number of those over fifty affected. I'm just surprised that nobody sued the company yet, but I... — read more 

Wall Street Has No Idea

It’s no surprise that we are not doing well. So, be ready. The layoffs are coming this month end at corporate. This is going to be a big one. Hug your family and friends as it’s going to get ugly for the long timers. Sorry in advance.

Any reporters?

I’d like to bring to the light an HR issue....enough is enough.

Remember when......

We used to do cluster/product classes training? New hires now are thrown to the floor and expected to learn as they go. This is why our retention percentage is soooo low. Not for nothing, all those classes and sell backs actually helped to teach... — read more
