I worked for Cabelas for many years. Back when a high level insider told me the Bass Pro deal was coming (before it was in the news) - I knew this would happen. Bass Pro (BP) doesn't need TWO headquarters. These layoffs are just the start. Once they eliminate the "first line" of people they will move on to others. BP doesn't need TWO IT departments, two accounting departments etc....
Having been through SEVERAL "mergers" and "buy outs" in my career - this is what is coming. People won't be able to sell their houses - they will end up going back to the back. I'm glad I got out BEFORE all this happened. So to those who still have a job at Cabela's - you BETTER start updating your resume and start sending it out!
