There's no need for two of anything

Property Taxes
Decrease or increase?
Still business as usual?
Or are there Bass Pro people making regular visits to Sydney? Has there been any announcements about the merger to staff. Not there anymore, just curious.

Article below: Cabela’s, which was acquired by Bass Pro on September 25, will be open on Thanksgiving for what appears to be the first time in its history. A Cabela’s flyer indicates that the stores will be open on Thanksgiving Day from 8:00 a.m. to... — read more

Any new developments on the hill?
Are executives really worth paying millions of dollars?
Really, please respond honestly, what are your thoughts? I have a feeling if we were to offer them 10% of what they make they'd still do the job with same quality (good or bad). Please keep it civil, otherwise mods delete posts. Thoughts?
TM's House
I see that the price has dropped by $300K. Does anyone know who really owns it now? Why is it so quiet...where did the ALL CAPS person go?

Don't get screwed on your guns.
Forget about selling your guns to cabelas. They will only offer you half of what your gun is worth. You will do better at a pawn shop. Due to the bass pro shop buy out corporate has odered cut in inventory.
Is your store closing?

Relocation packages to Springfield
Hey has anyone heard of relocation packages being offered? Do you know of anyone who has a confirmed package?
The gravy train that was Cabela’s is over
Bass pro has been clear about what’s next. They stated that the headquarters will be in Missouri. The gravy train that was Cabela’s is over. The “stress and scare” will never be over if what you are referring to is a situation where corporate... — read more
What's next?
Is it strange that no exempt positions are able to be filled in cabelas. I wonder how !any more will be laid off before they can be filled and if they are going to replace them with bass pro people just like they did to the others. So many people... — read more
Nascar in Kansas City
From the victory lane interviews yesterday after the race, it looks like Johnny was in Kansas City. I wonder if he made a swing by the Cabela's across the street from the speedway.
We are going backward instead forward
Here is what I have heard from my husband and his friends who work in IT at the corp office and in another office. Bass Pro is running on some ancient technology as well. It is horrible to work with. They expect cabelas IT to take a 10 year step... — read more

Cabela's Layoffs 2018
If you really want to know about layoffs just ask your boss - you'll get a 'no clue answer' and he'll black list you, at least here in Sidney.
Just thought this was interesting.

Is he still in Nebraska or did he move ?
Open enrollment time???
So what's up with health insurance for 2018?? Isn't October normally open enrollment time where you elect if you want any changes or to apply???
Check is in the mail...
Got a nice big fat check from Cabela's today. I guess I'm not a shareholder anymore.
NO CLASS BPS
Corp email re bump stocks was very condescending. BPS stated they could have sold but didn't like CAB did. BPS communication writer should be fired. Idiot.
