Thread regarding Barnes & Noble Inc. layoffs

They laid off all Head Cashiers, Receiving Managers, and Digital Sales lead

It’s company wide, I don’t think there are any exceptions. These are people who have been with the company for over a dozen years in many instances, people with children. The only thing that made this company better than amazon was the fact that it was employing real people in a real store, but that doesn’t matter if they can no longer afford to treat their loyal employees with dignity and respect. This will probably get the stock price to rise but who gives a sh--? People are really hurt by this.

Get ready for an exodus of experienced employees. They know what’s coming next.

The hashtag made me chuckle @bsh - I hope all folks laid off find something else quick.

This was a sad day for everyone.

It's Receiving Managers in stores that bring in under $8 million, Head Cashiers, all leads that aren't Children's or Cafe and DM Assistants. #thegreenwedding

I felt bad for my boss. He couldn't look at me without crying. He said that he wasn't sure when it would be his turn either. They do what they're told. I would start looking for another job if I was not laid off. Especially the children's lead if it's true that they are safe.

Those of us who lost our jobs today are the lucky ones, I think. There may not be any money for severance packages in the future.

It would have been so much better if they hadn't blindsided the employees. Why not find a way to offer part time positions to these valued and loyal employees?

They are hoping upper mgt. (and other experienced booksellers) will also leave - saving the company money on payroll and having to do another round of layoffs.
