Do you think Barnes & Noble will last past 2019? I personally believe we'll go the way of Toys R Us very soon. Times are changing. We didn't adapt quickly enough - or even tried to - and now we are seeing the results of it.
That's too bad, though, I really used to love working here once upon a time...
According to a corporate insider: many ASMs, Merch mgrs & cafe mgrs positions will be cut with NO severance.
If your SM tells you you’re “safe” , they’re LYING to you.
Apparently, part of my previous post got cut off; please insert:
...large part of their lives to B either way...
RE: @X1ceZJg-2hik: Doomed, doomed, doomed (to use correct capitalization and punctuation)? Well, I suppose so, when one works for a company for many years--indeed, in some cases, decades--getting chopped off at the knees tends to soil one's worldview.
I knew at least a dozen people who got the heave-ho on Black Monday; all of these people were excellent booksellers, folks who had given a large part of their lives to B either way, perhaps a good drink of the milk of human kindness might be in order for you.
I keep hearing you "laid off" people crying.....Doomed Doomed Doomed... Get off you butts and look for another job......PLEASE...
So like the old Daltons? And look what happened there!
Just give up!
One thing is pretty certain. All large stores will be downsized.
Smaller. Less cashiers. All part-time except for managers.
Amazon is putting many places out of business. Hope some Barnes and Nobles stay open.
It's on life support. I hope anyone thinking of working there realizes it's a quick, very temporary job.
