...What's with that useless Cabela's Outfitter TV in the break rooms?
Plenty of blame to go around
I know hands are tied right now, but the inept merchants (all the way to director level) that live in the 70's and lack ANY kind of innovation need to be PARTIALLY blamed for the previous 5 years of awful sales. Selling the same stuff year after year... — read more
It is in the best interest for the city of Sidney and the employees of Cabelas in the sidney area if the merger does not go thru
This may not include all the employees in the Sidney area perhaps a few employees have huge severance packages if the merger goes thru. The majority of employees the Sidney area does not have huge severance packages however.
Maybe abandoning our core values was a bad idea
And embracing Walmart's was a worse one
Bad for Sideny
People of Sidney might look at this as a positive (maybe the sale won't go through) but I assure you this will make the death of Sidney slower and more painful. The real estate market will be frozen for years and years. The black cloud will never... — read more
As a stockholder I am extremely angry
Why are the people in charge still there - what is wrong with the board. - do something - fire the whole team and get some people in there that will do something. Unbelievable and criminal
Tommy and his exec team need to be fired, period. What a disgrace
Unbelievable Finally catching up before the ship sailed off - gee Tommy, maybe you should concentrate on business at home.
Wall St. doesn't think merger is going to go off at $61.5
...or ever. Stock is in the crapper.
Even with all the layoffs and cost reductions
Cabela's misses Street 2Q forecasts. Yet again they guided down...and missed that lower number
Hamburg
Went to the Hamburg store yesterday. I used to work at the Hamburg store and, since I left, I would regularly go back and visit my friends who still worked there. When I walked into the store, I was shocked at how much it has changed. I was last... — read more

Can anyone in Cabela's retail confirm this?
From seeking alpha Caleba's preps to operate as part of Bass Pro Shops Jul. 31, 2017 2:57 PM • SA Editor Clark Schultz Some scouting by Elevation Securities indicates that Cabela's (CAB -1.9%) is expecting the Bass Pro Shops deal to close. Channel... — read more

Imagine justt for a miment. A (or more than one) "player(s)" (owners, coaches, executives, board members, batboys, batgirls, etc.) on or with a "team" (company) are in search of a specific outcome in a "game", make indirect "bets" (investments) with... — read more
Replacing good managers with yes-men
I can think of several quality people that were treated like crap only because they did not golf, drink, or agree with the right insider. Managers who treated people with dignity were replaced by brown noses who shamelessly followed a VP around like... — read more
Great companies don't thrive on threats
The core problem is that leadership gave up years ago - the stores are a disaster - terrible - the staff is cut to shreds, no motivation from the top besides threats of replacement - lay offs, sales are in the tank, low inventories and a joke to the... — read more
I think the first thing maybe Sidney ne could do is to pass a petition
The petition would say basically to open our council meeting UP to interaction between the city council and the pubic. (SOMETHING WHICH HAS BEEN DONE AT EVERY COUNCIL MEETING IN THE HISTORY OF SIDNEY NEBRASKA Before ED SADLER AND I THINK IS DONE AT... — read more
Sidney leadership needs to GET real! No "Bass Pro" is going to "save" the city
What is unfortunate is two fold: The city of Sidney is running the budget like Tommy did - absolutely no regard for reality ( unfortunately there is no Bass Pro to bail them out) Secondly, this fiscal disregard is a continuing problem that will no... — read more
i decided to buy a sidney telegraph and read the full story and not just the part posted on the internet about the cfo of the city department
I wonder considering the economic state of Sidney if these policy's by the CFO of the city of Sidney is right for today. A The new budgeting style does not signal any changes in city administration . the city isn't planning on downscaling anything... — read more
Obviously, "rounds of layoffs" are coming
Our town's financial director even said so. Check out Sidney's local newspaper today in "City adopts 5-year budget" . He quotes, "With Cabela's having rounds of layoffs....." Great.
What's going on?
the stock is acting really squirrely right now...something is up. I think it's more than the negative article that recently was posted.
Giving it your all?
The Cabela's employees have obviously been through a wild time this past couple of years...more if you actually knew they were lying to you. I am curious if the employees that are still there, are you still giving your job 100%? Is the company making... — read more
Warms the heart to know that they can take their outfitter jobs and shove 'em.
Maybe it won't be that bad to find work after this whole tragedy falls into place. This is the news: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/never-harder-fill-job-america-155558184.html Plenty of jobs out there. Maybe some of us will have to move, but you... — read more
Why Bass Pro Shops’ longtime Santa won’t be back this Christmas
Get out of retail while you can! Bass Pro even fired Santa! Egads
Layoffs
Who got laid off today? Rumor has it that there will be a lot of layoffs by Monday... Gotta love town gossip.
It's not a charitable organization...
It's a business. Plain and simple. Just because it was founded by two nice brothers from Nebraska doesn't change that. They weren't saints they made a lot of money off the backs of others...as do all business men. As a business...it was not looking... — read more
Failure of leadership
This is a complete failure of leadership. Once fully entrenched and on the downward, who would want to come on a failing bandwagon - this is pure failure of leadership - nothing less - the vision of successful companies is growth and if the current... — read more
Merger / Stockholders

Does anyone know how the Anti-Compete agreement is affected by the sale?
Once the sale goes through and Cabela's is bought out, does the anti-compete go away and do we have the option to go anywhere? Seems like that would be the decent thing to do.
Don't blame BP for what's happening with jobs right now
Cabela's may continue to cut payroll to minimize the bleeding, but BP has no authority or input until the deal is finalized. BP folks may wonder the stores and the corporate hallways, but until some money changes hands, they are just spectators. If... — read more
It's a business deal
Don't get me wrong, I worked for Cabela's for many years and have a lot of close friends affected by this deal. That being said, at the end of the day, Tommy did what he was brought on to do and that was to make shareholders money. And it wasn't... — read more
Legacy
I've heard a lot about legacy and grand visions on this site . Now, Johnny Morris...he has a legacy to be proud of. He didn't sell his town out. He didn't sell his employees out. His name will live on for decades. The Cabela's name will be thrown on... — read more
Merger approved
Shocking news that shareholders approved merger.LOL
Get Ready To Turn In Your Tans
Heard that liquidators were in Short Pump, VA today preparing to bid on inventory. The property was sold to a Insurance company last week due to the CAB fallout.
MOD- Managers On Duty: what are the rest of the managers doing?
I really hope after next week Bass Pro starts cleaning house of all the salaried managers who hide when they should be on the floor helping. Our place is understaffed and not a manager to be found when help is requested.

Is BP obligated to go through with this "merger"? The value of Cabela's is dropping everyday, so if they
delay and allow this once proud company to continue free-falling, they may be able to renegotiate. If the merger does not occur as planned, CAB stock price will plummet to level of Sears and JCP.
