I was laid off as well but the store kept one department manager. So it wasn't all department managers after all. How the decision came from choosing who stays and goes? Especially when one works harder than the other. I guess being lazy pays off -... — read more 

The store had layoffs today, three department managers were let go. It was a surprise for all of us.

Why would company invest thousands and thousands of dollars for renovations in store 159 if they were not doing well?
