Both the stores and HR have been non communicative with booksellers. They have handpicked a few of their favorites.

Even though I was making more with unemployment I still contacted my store repeatedly and was told there weren't hours for me...some of us relied on this job for things like medical and dental benefits which we have now lost.

I held on for awhile because I lose all of the vacation and sick pay that I earned over 9 years of employment. Not everyone likes sitting at home in limbo

Their decency ended years ago. Even the new owners could care less. Keep calling my mgr. very evasive.
