Hi, I don't mean to sound ignorant, but would someone please explain what each of the acronyms ( OOM, VVM, MBA, SMM, CXM, etc.) stand for and what their role is and what their hierarchy is in each store. Serious question. Thanks

I've seen posts mentioning different positions at the store level , but has any one heard if any of the corporate office jobs are being cut? I'm just curious how this round is going to affect the workers in New York and Cincinnati corporate.

I cannot believe we don’t get paid the time we earned during the holidays. Such bu*sht . WE EARNED THAT TIMe and now we got laid off and we don’t get paid out for it. That’s ridiculous and just not right.

From what I am hearing, VC's in the larger volume stores are getting severanced or not going forward. Can anyone clue us all in.

Innovative selling will never work until the veterans that refuse to work in other areas have retired and the stubborn executives stop making excuses for them. Get ride of front and back of the house all together!
