What are your thoughts? How do you feel about this.
Done? Start fresh ?
Is the blood bath complete? Didn’t noticed any adjustments to sales floor staffing. Are we exempt from the changes?

Hmmm start of the FY…. What do we think the news will be? Here’s what I hope is not the case: Interim Chief of Stores named permanently…she is horrible and a nightmare. Would rather have Marc back… put Standis..in role

Director of Divisional Operations

The writing is on the wall

Logic of cuts
The store teams' are stretched to the max. Since all these stores are closing doesn't logic dictate cuts should largely come out of corporate as their responsibilities are diminished?
