Oh I think I have the same DM. Wonder if I will get any forwarded messages? lol

Has anyone heard if there is still going to be a Febuary lay off. I heard big announcement coming soon and concerned for my job I'm in a very low volume store and string went up but I'm not a target store.

I hate my job! Looking for a better job.

I'll tell you Something that's not a lie. I use to think I had a cool smart DM but as time went by their true colors came out. All my DM does is tell lies to you to make you feel good then talk a TON of crap behind your back. The best is my DM... — read more 

All lies here...move on

No one is being forced to work here. Move on, lots of retail jobs out there

What is the name on the invite only fb page and how do you get an invite?

The board of directors or the message board? If you are talking about the message board, what the F do you expect? However, it sheds light on some of the major issues on the company; most of the complaints seem to focus on a few areas... HR gossiping... — read more 

What finance mistake, had some facts whinners

Congrats to you. On behalf of everyone who loves CR and has stuck it out in hopes of getting back on track we applaud you. Please keep us updated with what happens with the board, you are clearly in a position to do this for us. Thank you for helping... — read more 

Bitching? Someone needs to be made aware how we are getting f'd on payroll right now. Our comps dropped like a rock due to a mistake by finance. They ignore me, so now I have taken to this board.

No that's the people team job description. Work from home a few hours a week get paid 6 figured salaries run up expense bills. And we the field get all the cuts. Not bitching just clear facts and must be one of the blind idiots.

If you all did your jobs rather than bitch an moan maybe you would not have been laid off

A bunch of loosers on this site

576?

Hopefully it's the entire people team. Haha

Just when you thought you were safe and you had a store or a job as of January 31,2012. You are wrong! Major layoff and store closing happening! You will be shocked and performing stores and high volume store closures. No one is safe this round. Good... — read more 

What do you expect when this company fires hundred of corporate employees over a 3 year period... not to mention that most had replacements hired before they were even fired. When a company acts poorly, message boards like this flourish. CR is not... — read more 

Hahahahaha, more like: lot's of disgruntled employees who want a change and will quit if one does not happen. Don't ignore what is happening around you, we can change this company for the better, we just need new management.

This site is BS, a few fired employees spreading rumors. You were fired or you suck, get over it and move on. Get lives!!!!

small potatoes.... now think of keeping your same payroll for 1.5 times the volume in a high traffic mall. that bitch in finance needs to learn how to fing allocate hours, MH is a fing moron! I've been doing this for too long to get burned by her.

Our volume was 1.6 million and over 6500 squar feet. It's not about making excuses and it's not always easy but the bottom line was we focused on sales and worked as a team. Our sales went up significantly and our shrink stayed low. I'm not a liar... — read more 

To the sm with "great results" im curious to know what your store volume is. If u didn't have a problem running on 2 coverage during peak busn and kept your shrink low, i'm guessing your mall isn't bigger than a hallway and your volume doesn't clear... — read more 

The company is running so lean because they ran out of money paying to have Jenny move the company to San Francisco, hire her friends, give them undeserving salaries and let idiots travel and party. Then the stores and companies financial performance... — read more 

Shrink results in my store doubled from last tim and sales significantly dropped. When I tried discussing the increase in shoplifting in my store with lp, I pretty much got blamed for the problem even though I know id do everything I can to prevent... — read more 

I don't think the manager with "great results" is full of shit, but I do however believe she is one of very few. As far as posting "anonymously" we all do it that way. I am sure if what she says is true anyone of any importance already knows what... — read more 

To the manager with " great results!" first of all if it were true you wouldn't post anonymously. You would be proud and show the rest of us who you are so maybe we can get tips from you. So I think you are full of shit. Secondly if more than 90% of... — read more 

everyone has shoplifters, but when it starts hitting 10% you are in the worst managed stores... its sad because shrinkage was being driven down annually by Anne until they destroyed her budget and she was not able to implement any policies. Now... — read more 

Everyone has shoplifters in every store, you can't blame low coverage. I ran on two part coverage during peak weeks and focused on selling and not policing my customers. We drove top line sales, made comp plus 20%, bonused, and maintained a low... — read more 

Shrink results are the worst ever. If we didn't have so many people getting paid to do nothing than the field could be supported with better talent( this is what you get for minium wage) and more payroll during holiday! Stores were running in 2 part... — read more 

Shrink results are terrible, when you fire too many people in LP things like this happen (I can now discuss it since it is public knowledge) http://www.smmirror.com/#mode=single&view=34011

I don't think they will ever get it, fewer people would quit if HR was ethical and treated people with respect. Its the main reason why I left, they were nasty to me, I am a former employee of the Creative Offices in SF. They are going to chase away... — read more

I wish the board would understand that this management team has destroyed the company and has no clue how to fix this mess... we need new management... doing things the "old way" is not strategic and does not call for $350k salaries. Either fire... — read more 

Love that companies like Wet Seal can still outperform us even though they comped down 13% in January. We lost!

Oh yes everyone is looking to quit.
