Give management a break

I’ve been reading these posts and responses. Some of them are downright cruel and baseless. You want to complain about managers you work or have worked with, that’s fine. But I’m seeing very few genuine complaints and a lot of baseless accusations and downright cruel attacks.

My SM may not be perfect, but who is? She helps out on the floor when needed and doesn’t just sit in the office twiddling her thumb. She works alongside us and leads by example. There are managers like that you know. Not all of them are bad.

Getting rid of Booksellers doesnt change how a company operates. All the DMs and Managers should’ve been replaced. If you keep the same people in charge and expect change you deserve to fail. Thought Daunt was smart? Guess not.

If they got rid of DMs who had underperforming stores, that literally would have been every DM. The company has underperformed for years. Very few stores were "successful".

Their first instinct is to get rid of full timers. Stores less productive than others should’ve gotten all new managers. DMs that had under performing stores should’ve been fired. You’ve got the same people “in charge” and nothing will change !

B&N now has the worst reputation in retail. No one wants to work there and the people who have been there for years now hate it.

Those women should've been disciplined and fired long ago!
There is a very long list of people who they have victimized. Hell, they've even back stabbed each other! I still talk to people who work there and they're suffering it out until the end. Probably February.
I pity anyone still working in the stores mentioned in the posts below.
