Sales are not down. The company planned sales so far up that it is impossible to make goals. I've heard the planned sales for this year were put at 50% higher than last years. The trend right now is about 10-15% over last years sales!!! They do it so they can justify you being laid off and not giving out bonuses to the people that work so f--king hard! At the end of the day it doesn't matter. You'll get chewed up and sp-t out all the same.

The company will always be “down” how else can they justify letting everyone go and overworking who ever is left?

Sales are up but knowing the empire they probably forecasted the sales to be higher. For no good reason of course.

YTD is the only number that matters for sales. End of June.
That and the bottom line.

The only reason sales are up is because it was Rush. When Rush is over sales tank . Our store does sh-t when rush is over.

Sales are not down. Try again. I just looked and they're up.

Well...when you have 1 person trying to order books for 8 stores that's a recipe for failure. I can tell you that as of last week 1 of my old faculty still didn't have books in the fall semester 1/2 way in. She sent them to Cengage direct. 1 person physically can't do 8 stores. 4 would be stretching it to take care of it all with follow ups.
