Thread regarding Barnes & Noble Inc. layoffs

No loyalty! Nothing Noble about them!

After 11 years of service Barnes and Noble spat in my face! Loyal, hard working, meant nothing in the end. Promised to be grandfathered in and on Monday,my digital lead and myself were let go. I can say that my manager was so saddened by this he went. Then I learned that two more were let go.

I was blessed with the chance of a new assistant manager position at a store that offered me the position over a year ago. But how many will be this blessed? Or lucky for some of you. District manager didn't have the ovaries to do it herself! Just gutless! Customers were nothing but a plastic member card to Barns & Noble. This company is in it's death thows and needs to die! Amazon will bury in time. Nobody wants to go in to a store and there is no one to help them. Good luck B&N big wigs! Your next on the chop block!

This big layoff proves two things:

1-The new regime at BN has no loyalty and no decency.

2-BN is losing its battle with Amazon.

Sad day to see this company go away, but I firmly believe it will be GONE very soon.

I second the reply posted by GET OUT. Truer words were never spoken. So much naïveté in these posts about who’s safe, not safe. Not one person is safe, because no store is safe. They are closing stores. Early inventories, DMs at every single one for the entire time, layoffs, SEC filings... it’s going to go down quick. Maybe before end of fiscal year (April) maybe first of May, but make not mistake, this $40mil in savings (-$11mil it cost this quarter for severance) isn’t going to save stores. Read the room, and GET OUT

Survivors should know the company is going under/being sold SOON. The Upper Management is thrilled when stocks went up after this bloodbath. Why do you think that is? It's certainly not because Member Card sales will be going up.

If you're still sailing on the SS B&N, you better have your eye on a life preserver by April.
