I was one of those naive enough to believe that new owners will mean change for the better for us. But now I see that nothing has really changed. On the contrary, things seem to be getting worse, at least in my store.
I think I'm starting to accept the fact that Barnes & Noble's days are truly numbered.
Told you this almost 2 years ago......those stupid enough to think things would get better are in major denial. Wait till after the first of the year when all the staff is cut to only the useless lazy managers . Then the sh– will really hit the fan and 75% if not more of barnes and nobles will be gone and you wasted 2 years waiting for things to get better and now YOU have no job.
Things will probably get a little better after the holidays; there's always a lag between when a new CEO/hedge fund takes over. But, it's like getting radiation poisoning–there's always a few days when you feel better, and can keep your food down, and think, "I can beat this!" But within a couple of days, you always get worse, and your hair and teeth fall out.
Get out and the best of luck to you. Believe me, it will get worse, It won't get better.
Do yourself a favor !
Get out before they get YOU out!
Good luck !
