Realizing week after week that much of my store there are new faces that were not there a few months ago. There are long time employees here still, but almost 50% of the outfitters here now were not here last fall. Is this a screaming indicator time... — read more

Headcount?
So what’s the latest headcount now? Fall time will probably be the final round I suppose.
Adding to the joy of Sidney
On top of the Cabela's job losses, the farmers are now facing low wheat, soybean and corn prices...and high Diesel costs. Boy, NG
What ever happened to the fleet of private jets that Cabela's had in Sidney?
Did they, the pilots, and mechanics all go to Springfield?
Posted yesterday on another section of layoff pertaining to Cabelas.
Rumor rampant at corporate is that the VPs they put in from Cabela’s are restructuring their areas to bring friends in as directors and managers from Cabela HQ Sidney and eliminate current Bass Pro directors and managers. If true will affect IT... — read more
At what point will foreclosures pile up in Sidney?
Some of the houses for sale on Zillow might be deals in the next year. Can you even find affordable real estate within a 2.5 hour drive of Denver? Some enterprising tech company might start thinking about making a deal with Sidney to bring in jobs... — read more
Highby Outdoors to the Rescue
http://www.ksidradio.com/news/details.cfm?clientid=37&id=263365#.WtKMwIjwaM8 It was Mr. Highby that grew Cabela's into an outdoors powerhouse company, and I think he can do it again.
More layoffs in May?
Some rumors circulating about May layoffs, anybody here heard anything about it?
Any changes from vendors?
Before I was let go, I had several conversations with vendors that said they refused to do business with BP. I guess many of these vendors had bad dealings with BP/JM. Also heard on the clothing side that Cabela’s private label clothing will see a... — read more
I should mention why i think this is relevant to this board on the propose sale of the business at the golf course.
Bass pro ran a ad in the wall street journal at a cost of more then 100 thousand dollars to try and attract business to Sidney to rent one of their buildings for one dollar a year. I think this action by the city council in regard to the purchase of... — read more
Is this the final nail in the coffin of the city of Sidney. http://www.ksidradio.com/news/details.cfm?clientid=37&id=262609#.WrwWR0xFyaE
I have been a very positive supporter of all of Cheyenne county and Cabela's for years. However this action by the city of Sidney just seems like their isn't any hope for the city of Sidney any more.
More corporate layoffs
For corporate, continue to be on the look out for monthly layoffs, as BP absorbs/understands more of Cabela’s operations. Corporate layoffs will continue till August or until BP hits the final number of corporate employees needed, which that... — read more
Another uneasy week ahead
You know, it came to me today that it has been months since I've had a proper weekend where I was able to truly relax and recharge my batteries. Instead, I keep stressing and worrying and wondering is this the week they'll let us know even more cuts... — read more

Customers of the future
Are we are attracting cheap customers or ones with money to spend? I just don't get our purpose anymore.
April 1 is right around the corner, anything happening then?
Since Feb. 1st and March 1st were job loss days, anyone in the know for April? Retail stores and some of the jobs Cabela's has but Bass Pro doesn't. Respond if you know anything.
ot good news for Bass Pro

I think the goverment in Sidney can be very helpful in doing their part to help the situation.
Recently the Sidney school board met to discuss ways to lower spending to address the economic situation in Sidney Nebraska. . This is just a start however it is a step in the right direction. This policy also need to be followed by the city of... — read more

Can we expect more layoffs next week or was the past few days it for now?
This number seems understated...

Clueless in Sidney
What a fitting tribute to the legacy! Brown nosed minions that sunk the ship are left to finish the ride to the bottom! Now they will surely start feeding on them selves!
Mr.Positive (ya kno the guy)
has NOT always been honest with everyone on this board. While he says he's only here to be positive and support everyone during this hard time, it seems he has his own agenda. He has a large stake in Sidney real estate and can't leave or... — read more
HR Trolls this board
And posts comments pretending to be a regular employee. They will always post overly positive comments and attack anyone who doesn't tow the corporate line. They hate this site because it destroys their BS corporate speak and exposes what's really... — read more
Does everyone think the poster who post most of the negative comments on this site is he serious or is he just trying to get people stirred up?
I was often upset over the years with so many of the negative comments which seemed to follow no logic at all on this site. I was talking to a few people from the Denver area who stated this guy isn’t serious in his negative posts he just is trying... — read more
Why are you all so negative about Cabela's
The company gives you a paycheck, right?

March 1st is here
Sooooo? How many people actually turned in their packets? Some of the higher up folks in IT took it. Kinda funny how they were all excited a month ago after the Cabelas CIO became the CIO for the combines company and Cabelas IT people wee jumping for... — read more
It's time to act.
D--k's Sporting Goods ends assault-style weapon, high-capacity magazine sales. Hey Bass Pro/Cabelas, get on board or get run over. It's about time to stop selling these!
New Investors
It will be extremely difficult to entice new investors to the BP-Cabelas model. At one time RC would host and fly potential investors to a few locations and wow them with the big beautiful stores that were full of people. Today those stores are empty... — read more

Does this have to do with everyone leaving Cabela's in Sidney?
END IS near
Over 90% of CAB employees turned in their letters. Many turning them in on the last day. People would rather look for new jobs and move than stay with the the circus known as bps. They are tired of the rude arrogant nasty people at bps. Also they... — read more
Big Benefits?
As this "buyout" continues I feel good that many Cabela's people are benefiting greatly. Being the company that was bought out it seems that many are doing pretty well with a nice severance, early buyout bonuses, cashing out stock grants, etc. and... — read more
One store in Canada closed
They closed Moncton, NB today with no notice. It was open less than 3 years, but too close to a BP location. It is starting.
