No more severance packages TRUE

I was told by my store manager that any future lay offs will NOT get any severance . So everybody better be looking for something else NOW.

If I wanted to have anybody fired it would be half of the useless corporate who keeps making all the stupid decisions and then making threats upon the stores that cannot meet their unreasonable expectations.

Membership can be combined with a coupon which can be more advantageous than an employee discount. Many times customers get a better deal than an employee.

Employees can't combine their discount with a coupon or a sale.

Customer can get sale, plus membership discount and then a coupon.

Guess the management troll is back.

@TDVITBo-2oze Which would be detrimental to the company...less revenue. Think things through people.

Sometimes the membership discount is better than the employee one.

@TDVITBo-1qhg. Why have membership if there is employee discount?

Don't you love when the managers and execs don't even have a Membership card?

Lots of Faith i business.

Or they just buy on line at Amazon.

I can't address your skepticism. I know the SM is wrong. He/she should be terminated. What's the harm in calling? Do as you wish. If posting on this board makes you feel better than taking action....that speaks volumes. Perhaps you should move on giving your dissatisfaction at work.

I doubt the store manager lied.

They probably just let it slip. The way Barnes is going it's not that big of a surprise.

Makes sense. They probably can't afford the money and subsidized benefits during the severance period.

What does HR say when you call?

Of course I wouldn't trust them, they've lied so much already.

Wonder how much the USELESS DMs will be getting.

Your Store Manager lied to you. Call We Listen and report him/her.
