Thread regarding Barnes & Noble layoffs

We were warned to stay off social media and especially this site specifically by management

So why isn't anyone afraid of retribution? And why do we never hear about the company's real financial problems and plans for its inevitable demise?

Is your store still pretending everything is lollipops and rainbows?
I for one know the clock is ticking and every thing gets worse by the day.

When These “ Formers” you’re obsessed with ( why, because you’re compared to them and come up lacking?) were there, this site wasn’t up. The company was once great. Even the Riggios jumped ship.

Absolutely.
To the person obsessed with ex, former employees, the company was not in this kind of shape when they worked there.
Only since employees, like you ,replaced them. Rather poorly, I might add.But hey, you get what you pay for, right?

Our SM gets paid to be in the office on her cell all day. It's a blessing for us but that's the kind of management B&N like to pay for!

When the Formers we’re here, this company wasn’t the mess that it is now. Coincidence? Just saying.

They emerged from their parents basement,

It’s not the formers living in Mommy’s basement . It’s the BN , minimum wage employee, thinking they have the best job they’re capable of getting. Low pay, no insurance and you get to scrub toilets ! These Formers you seem to be jealous of ( and you should be) aren’t the reason your life stinks, your staying , willingly, in a dead end job, is.

I stay in touch with my good friends from B&N and every once and a while someone will tell me they're talking about our store here. I know everyone they'e talking about and this is hilarious. I know all of the players and management there truly was the worst. I am so glad I got out of that s-hole years ago!

This Halloween, in select theaters..,

They emerged from their parents basement,
With an axe to grind and a whiny disposition that only the strongest of managers could endure.

Coming in October, terror has a new name.
Meet....

THE FORMERS

Haha, some guy that works in the cafe is defending B&N management. Must be desperate to keep his c-appy job and/or he's sleeping with management! Eew.

Did u just post that loser works in the cafe, and he’s defending management?

Where is he located?

I’m surprised the former magazine guy, who
sits at home all day, for the last three years,
obsessing over a job long in the rear view,
pretends he still works here.

Actually, I’m not.

I'm surprised the guy who works in the cafe is always pretending to be a manager, you'd think they'd catch on and warn him by now.

Don’t fall for the threats! As long as you aren’t posting out in the open, talking about it where you can be overheard, or talking to people about it who may sell you out, why be stopped?

Freedom of speech is exactly the threat BN is trying to avoid. They’re afraid of the bad publicity they themselves have earned.

Eff censorship & eff BN for hiding the truth from the people who keep things going—the booksellers. Eff them for lying to staff about things being alright. The staff isn’t stupid like upper management thinks.
