What is the hope for the Music and DVD departments to survive in the larger store in the future? Heard they let go of Head of Music Division in Corporate.

Len just wants to sit in his art gallery with his buddy Tony Bennett. Treated his employees like garbage last Feb. and looking to screw everyone else over. He used to be a Stand Up guy ( must’ve been an act) now he just crawls.
There is no hope for that department as there is no hope for barnes and noble. Be smart, get out NOW.....No one will tell you the truth. It is almost over with. Len wants to retire, and he is looking for ways to dump this "DUMP" so he can retire in luxury .
Not sure how music/DVD has lasted this long.
I figured it would have been gone five years ago!
And the theft in that large area, usually unattended, is just pathetic at this point.
In the wall street call this morning, some exec talked about how they took over the music/dvd space with toys in 91 stores for holiday. Said they were still gonna look at maybe doing the same thing in the rest of the stores, but hadn't made up their minds yet.
No worries. A new executive was recently hired to get rid of it.
Then why do they have an entire half a floor in the store I work at devoted to CDs and DVDs? There is a lot of vinyl, but couldn't they just sell that? The department is a graveyard. The product is WAY WAY overpriced. Even the LPs. Can get them cheaper elsewhere (online ... Used) , but the thing is not many physical stores have them.
It costs too much to have the extra employees in there. They'll save more money by closing that dept.
This is corporate thinking. Always fewer employees is best.
The only thing saving the music dept was the resurrection of vinyl.
DVD & CD way too high.Even with the 20% employees discount, still cheaper ANYWHERE else.
