Topics regarding layoffs at Cabela's Inc.

The Bank/Credit Card

Seems the majority of the topics are about Sidney/Corporate and retail. Anyone have anything to say about the bank? What will happen if/when the bank is sold? Will it remain in Lincoln?

That smell wafting across the Sidney Plains

That smell you smell wafting these past couple days is the smell of Tommy's v----a, being wafted all the way from his vacation in Africa. Real big man you are to be on another continent while they let an entire department of people go under your... — read more

Coming to a Cabelas near you...........

Starting immediately the fish in the tank will be limited to “ONE” minnow every 2 days. We are cutting out the midday worm snack and we’d appreciate the outfitters not bring food from home to feed them as we don’t want to spoil the fish. All bathroom... — read more

Wow Sidney seems to be in a quandry

Having stumbled upon this site, at first I was midly amused and considered most of the rants by those who perceived that they have been handed a raw deal, whiners and cry babys. Then as it progessed I became alarmed at the accusations and comments... — read more 

No more friends and family for me!

I picked up the cards AND the envelopes but I only gave three away. I am not going to invite people into my "home" when I know they won't be taken care of.

Tractor disaster

Remember what brought you to the table - sage advice from the founders - now a joke. Cabela's and tractors - really - what a wast of time, effort, funds and retail effort. What a joke. Someone's ego gone awry. Like tommy - a complete joke

Have a friend or be part of the family

6 figure salaries for family members that work at this place. 5 figure bonus for those people as well. Friends of leaders getting promoted for that reason alone. If you want to work here, don't worry about credentials, education, or... — read more 

Sidney.....you have a problem

It looks like the party is over. It was a good run up until 3 years ago. It’s unfortunate that the “Vision 2020” lacks the substance and most important the DIRECTION it needs. Don’t get me wrong it does have some direction….dead SOUTH….and we are... — read more

KSID: Journalism you can trust

I sure wish KSID would take the attitude of looking for proof before reporting when it came to their praises of this buyout. They praise that there will be new jobs. 100+ people displaced but fear not! Around 30 jobs might open that you can apply... — read more 

New layoffs announced...

Just announced- creative dept dissolved - 3rd party coming in and taking TAGS elsewhere- over 100 employed no more-

Money over family

Congratulations to Cabela's for taking away another thing from the employees, family time! No more closing early on certain holidays so employees can be with their families. What's next Cabelas? Are we going to be open Thanksgiving and Christmas... — read more 

The party's over

We've been posting and venting for months now. We are insignificant drones. The fat cats and 1%ers win again. We were once the middle class. We could earn a livable income. No more. We've become a service economy and we will soon be servants. There... — read more 

Rumors swirling

Announcement of a sale to possibly be made before the shareholder meeting Friday

Business Model???

I read the back and forth on this and I think everyone can come to the same conclusion. Since going public, Cabela's has degraded from a successful business model to a pot of money for the upper echelon and big time share holders take everything they... — read more 

Open availability or get fired?

We were all told this morning that everyone in the store has to have open availability or you will be let go effective immediately. They say part timers now have to be available at least 16 hours and be able to work every weekend. There's some kind... — read more 

How can this be happening?

I have been reading these posts for a couple of months now. What I find interesting is there is no middle ground. Looks to me like the majority of the people posting are angry and scared about their future, whereas, the few people who are being... — read more

T is for Takeover, Turmoil and Tommy

I think it has been made pretty obvious by Milner that the company is going to sell but we won't be told until they're booting us out the door. Obviously because of Insider trading we can't know what step of the process they're in but we do know once... — read more

WOW the SEC violations

I am shocked in reading how the books were cooked to reflect a better than actual merchandise margin. It is very unfortunate that officers have become wealthy through Cabelas and that they were aware of what was actually going on. I feel so bad that... — read more

How I feel living in Sidney

If you ever have seen the recent Deadpool movie, it is the scene where Deadpool(Bass Pro) is on the Zamboni and going to crush that guy(Cabela's). At least we are still getting paid for the time being i guess.

Tommy the Best

With my 25 yrs of experience at Cabelas, I can see Tommy as the best of all other peers & cabelas family members. To list a few, his way of visioning, strategizing & handling tough situations are outrageous. Without him & with the past leadership... — read more

Headcount?

Was asked the other day how many we've lost, and I can't keep track. Seems about 99% of the positions posted must be being offered to existing staff at corporate - the jobs post for 5 days and then disappear, and don't see new families moving in to... — read more
