Former bookseller,here.
A good friend was a Asst. Mgr. , in another store. She was let go today.
( she was told they were keeping just one Asst.) said the Store Manager told her “ believe me , it’s for the best. You’ll have no problem getting another job and you’ll be set when this company “sh--s the bed”.
Which will be soon”
Maybe he was trying to soften the blow. Maybe he knows the end is close.
Just putting it out there. Get those resumes ready & get out there ! There’s better jobs out there my friends. I’m better off since I found something else , 5 months ago.
