You are all whiners. I'm underpaid as well, but love my job and believe in this company. Get over it an help us get back on our feet. If you aren't happy please just leave. For the rest of us, let's all come together and do what we need to do to... — read more 

Thank you for sending that!

THIS IS TO JENNY AND ADVENT: Do you have any idea what is happening with communication? Every thing sent is wrong, vauge and recalled! Hire a SVP and Director of Ops!!!! Stop trying to save money in all the wrong places. WE ARE DIEING! When is... — read more 

The "Finance Girl" is not the one who makes the decisions. It is Jenny's boy, Jason who allocates the hours. He and Robert People are the Geniuses making the decisions.

The field keeps getting worse and worse, we are losing too many good people but retaining all the crappy people. And finance will not give us any hours. The girl in finance is a complete moron who does not understand how to do her job.

@5910 Pacfic Center, The RE head is a HR nightmare in the making and a "harassment" lawsuit waiting to happen. I'll predict the Construction Department will be eventually mostly outsourced and the Real Estate people will stay because they're needed... — read more 

The new San Diego office is extremely depressing. I can tell you that most people know that only the most critical accounting positions will be kept, so many people are worried that with the next round of layoffs some of the non-essential accounting... — read more 

who is the RM leaving now? the DM in No CA is going to go work for wet seal with the RM from the west that left 2 months ago. we are happy that "GOD", as he calls himself is leaving. they let go of our great DM for what to put this clown in her... — read more 

For those of you in San Diego, only the bean counters are going to be last ones standing there. Why would any other position be needed there? Why does the EVP, P. Johnson and SVP of R.E., "Special Ed" have an office in San Francisco? When Jenny was... — read more 

31? Accounting alone has almost 50 people.

How could we lose anyone else in SD? How many are there left now? 31? From 250...sad and scary and a little shameful. Who is unnecessary? The ops team that went from 12 to 4? The only ones that are holding it together for the field it seems like. We... — read more 

I got called into the office today to "calm" me down about the newest announcement of another RD leaving. The first one left and it rattled some cages, now they are trying to downplay this one. The best people we have in the field are leaving... — read more 

Cut down the people in San Diego? That is nonsense. SD is so understaffed.

Paid bonus... that is good news... CR is turning around... All executives are in SD.. they need to cut the expense which they need to cut more people in SD... too many unnecessary people are in SD...

They paid a bonus, so everyone is jumping ship. Plenty of hiring, raises and promotions going on in San Francisco. Cuts in SD and the field. What do you expect?

True, but not Ron. It's Mike B

Let me guess worthless DM... Ron????

And another DM leaving... he is worthless so it is a good thing.

So which RM is gone?

CRR is the invite only FB page. Someone you know has to be on it. It has over 300 CR SM, DM and associates. Basically a bash site.

Another regional manager leaves CR. Calls already out to Old Navy for the replacement.

CCR?

Who runs the People Department? That depends who you ask. Does it matter? All except for 2 (San Diego) in the department are from Old Navy. The 2 Directors, Robert and Don are X's. Nobody actually knows what exactly they (the people team) contribute... — read more 

What did they do or not do this week? BTW, who actually run's the People department?

How does anyone in the people dept still have a job?

All the new product is selling very well, even in lower volume. We've seen postive comps consistently through July and August. It could just be the back to school season, but it seems like the traffic isn't getting heavier, the sales are getting... — read more 

Its less of a story about CR right now, and more of a macroeconomic story. Like in 2008, the worst performing chains went under (Mervyn's, Linens N Things, etc.). Hopefully that does not happen again, but if it does, CR is at the very bottom and will... — read more 

terrible margins and the finger pointing has started.

If the economy tanks again, its game over. CR got lucky when Advent bailed them out by buying them in 2009, but if the economy tanks, there is no chance CR survives another economic disaster. CR has been banking on back-to-school and holiday, and... — read more 

whatever.. this board has been quite for weeks. cr just posted positive numbers. quit trying to stir up drama with lame-ass, cryptic posts

The shit is about to hit the fan again. This is a disaster.

Haha haha love that someone put Advent in place of Anonymous. I mean come on really like Advent even cares let alone takes the time to read all of this bullshit. But funny I wonder how many people will think it was really Advent just like those of... — read more 

That is correct about to much leadership and not enough doers working. The people team is the perfect example. They keep hiring consultants and contractors to handle all the People projects. Then they hang out at home or expense crazy expensive... — read more 

@ Anonymous , Tuesday 8/02/11 6:19 AM You must be the one that was fired... lol........ Faggot

While CR is doing slightly better, it is still lagging the entire industry, while not making money. Looking at the NRF comps, CR is doing worse than its competition. Whoever said we turned the corner is so off... or you just drank the kool-aid, but... — read more 

Didn't jenny's team cut company funded flowers for funerals? So we replaced them with mini trips? Now the people team will have to run interference, "claiming" the trips were not on the company dime. What's one more lie. I bet nobody took PTO, as it... — read more 

Seriously!

I am with you 100%. no money for raises/reviews but $ to fly people to a funeral!!! how about sending lots of flowers..much better choice don't you think?

Another example of poorly run is the company management structure shutting down for a day because of the death of the RM's family member. Yes it's sad, but flying people there, the people team nowhere to be found. The other RM's out of the business... — read more 

I do have to say I am amazed Charlotte Russe is still in business after everything that has happened. They now have a lot more debt, so it will be tougher to be profitable. They also have a lot less support in the field (fewer DMs and RDs, and a lot... — read more
