What does this mean for those laid off unexpectedly? Just curious. (WARN- law in place to provide advance notice to layoffs) Click link: https://www.doleta.gov/programs/factsht/warn.htm
SIDNEY DC
All the part-timers were laid off today. Truth or rumor?
Ok then
Our store yesterday let go 1 sr manager, and 4 department managers..... I get that their had to be cuts, and for the most part I understood the decision between the department managers. The part that makes me scratch my head is how did our GM choose... — read more
VP Marketing Walked Out Yesterday at Sidney
Heard a VP of marketing got walked out yesterday at Sidney corporate because he refused to move to Springfield? Real or another rumor?
AP Eliminated?
Salaried AP eliminated. Asset Protection as name has been changed to Operations Specialst. Stores are no longer permitted to stop and detain shoplifters. This is going to be epic when people on the street find out. Open season at Cab! I can’t wait to... — read more
Not over yet!!
The mid February one everyone talking about is the regular outfitters. They will look and see how many full timers and cut. Part timers and cut. This is when they will look at pricing, Omni, signage, vd, and so on! Good luck everyone
Warehouse
Is there any information on what could happen with Warehouse personnel. Omni, Vendor Direct, Bargain Cave, IMA’s etc? Have to think this is only the beginning.
The reason CAB went down
Look the reason CAB went down in flames is because they took the company public. The family got rich but it wasn't enough so they kept selling until it was out of their control.
Outfitters Layoffs
We had at least three really good outfitters let go today. Lesson to those who are early in their careers, if your company gets taken over, be ready to be downsized if you are in management.
Bless those good who were let go.
Lost seven managers today at my local store. Most actually treated you like you were human. It's only a matter of time till the rest of the sh-- trickles down.
East Coast Recycling Cabela's
It's already begun in the east coast. Dropped over 8 managers at our store today. Sad to see them all walked out one by one.. be ready everyone. It was not a good day today.
It's just a job
I left of my own accord because of the never ending politics and need to mingle and connect with other employees to further the advancement of you own departments growth. I had always thought that the company could have been half the size and twice... — read more
What is the new manager structure?
I heard some sales coaches/managers were kept on board while most managers were let go or position eliminated. What is the new management structures at the stores? Are there still Warehouse/Receiving Managers?
Don't be ignorant.
One thing everyone needs to know.... -The GMs hand-picked their new leadership teams. This is a fact. Honestly, it's probably better this way. Token interviews are no-fun for everyone and demoted leaders generally do not move forward with the... — read more
so it begins
Not even given a chance to apply for new restructure positions? Stupid company decision. sales coaches and floor managers=gone
American workers have always been flexible and adapt to change, Keep your head's up.
Some if not most in the stores are older workers, some part time, some full time, plus we are surrounded by wonderful young people who have a desire to succeed. No matter what happens today, you to cabela's floor personnel should keep your head's up... — read more
It is what it is
Most of us find out tomorrow what our fate is. I keep checking this message board in hopes of some kind of answers..... however I know I won’t have an answer until the meeting is over tomorrow. Unfortunately Tommy made his millions and then ditched... — read more
Pricing
Do we know if pricing and signage is going away or staying?
So much anger!
I just need to get his off my chest. The selling of Cabela's has cause me so much pain and financial distress. I can't even look others in the eye, who got out with fat bank rolls. I know i have to get over it but it is so unfair that so little was... — read more
No More Tans
Traditional Tan Outfitter shirts to be replaced with Bass Pro style Polo shirts.
31 Days to Go!
Comical the email advertisement that was sent out is the Cabela’s/Bass logo on big JMs NASCAR. Whilst people await their fate and future old Johnny is all about dumping that money in NASCAR. Shameful leader.
Club Card
The Club Card incentive for Outfitters will be eliminated.

Nice move by Johnny Morris
He knows he has to pay out severance to every one he lays off...so he calls on ex Cabela's execs to contribute out of their own pocket to the severance fund. Very slick! So if you don't get a good payout blame the Cabela's management team. He shifts... — read more
Club cards
Look for announcement of more expectations from outfitters regarding the club card. I guess they want us to alienate the customers that much more now.
Lifetime Discount
How did the sale affect the employees who received a lifetime discount card? I read the posts regarding Summit Discount. Just curious never used the card so just wondering if I should burn it or shred it.
Retail store layoff
Has anyone heard about layoff and structure changes for the retail stores?

Is it true that BP going to bring back the tractors?
During the time that we were selling them it was rumored that BP was looking at their own branded line since they liked that offering so much.
Layoffs
Was today the day for layoffs? Has anyone gotten their letter yet?
Why did Cabelas pullout of Leupold Gold Ring Program?
Any body know why Cabelas pulled out of the Leupold Gold Ring Program before allowing outfitters to redeem the points they earned on Leupold optical products? The program information that we received as outfitters stated that we could earn points... — read more
Minimum wage has gone up. Now is the time to find another crud job.
Let's face it, if you can at least start off at minimum wage at some other company that treats you better, you will have better days to look forward to.

Is Bass Pro looking at Sidney for low-wage job center?
