Topics regarding layoffs at Fry's Electronics

I miss Fry's Electronics

I won't lie, I spent a lot of my teenage years and my twenties in their stores. I even tried to support them near the end, but there simply wasn't anything left to buy even with the best of intentions. I realize that it was not the same store by the... — read more

Worst. Company. Ever.

I started here while the world was in the thick of the Great Recession. Things were tough. I just graduated from the university, and no reputable companies were hiring. So I came to Fry's and lasted less than a year. When you graduated from one of... — read more

How much better job have you found?

Wish I had been laid off much earlier from this company. If it weren’t for the layoffs, I’d probably be working here for a long time in the future and I wouldn’t think I could do better. Very quickly I found a job that is not only better paid, but... — read more

I’m really worried

My life turned upside down in one day. Couldn’t they wait a little longer instead of doing this to people at the worst time possible? I’m very worried. I tried job hunting even before this happened but I couldn’t find anything. UI is... — read more

Zero notice?

Is it possible that they did not have decency to give any notice for the stores closure? That's just terrible. It’s no surprise, but still... I still can’t help but wonder how they can be so cold towards workers who have obviously always been just... — read more 

Fry’s is somehow still in business?

I am not familiar with the situation in the company because I left Fry’s while this company was still doing great and before Newegg and Amazon appeared. However, I am very saddened by the new headlines in the media. Good luck to everyone!

Fry's is calling it quits.

Wondering if anyone else received word but it sounds like Fry's is reaching out to tell employees they are shutting down.

How long can this last for?

I don't get it, how long can this place keep people employed and doors open at locations that have empty shelves and barely any foot traffic as a direct result of that? I'm usually an optimist and I keep stopping by every month or so to see if... — read more

How is this place still open???

Every time I pass by my local Fry's I'm shocked to see it's still open. I used to love this place. It was my go to when putting together a desktop so out of nostalgia I still go in sometimes. To be honest, I really think I should stop. I'm not sure... — read more

Hanging on by a thread

This place is on its last legs, no doubt. There have been so many store closures and at my location it looks threadbare, yet we manage to hang on by the skin of our teeth. I don’t know whether I should feel sorry for us, or if we should pat ourselves... — read more

Stop with all the doom and gloom

Fry's Electronics has survived worse. Mark my words, we'll be back. Maybe not bigger and better than ever, but we'll be back. It's like some people here are hoping to see the company fail. What do you get out of that? You should be cheering us on... — read more

This pandemic totally destroyed Fry's Electronic

Things were bad long before the pandemic hit, it was depressing to see so many empty shelves in the store. Then add the pandemic into the mix along with a completely messed up supply chain and what you get is a total disaster. I was truly hoping we... — read more

Outside Perspective

I've been a long time shopper at Fry's and from a purely "outside" perspective I honestly believe they failed for two main reasons. 1) They tried to do too much. When I think Fry's Electronics I think primarily computers and PC parts, and... — read more
