This will probably be my last post here, since I'm no longer with Follett and several of my friends and contacts got the battle axe this week. If you came over in the Neebo acquisition, good luck. Many of (but certainly not all) Follett employees will look down on you and you will always carry the stigma of being a Neebo employee. Particularly with upper management. I called the reorg back in July and I'm calling this now. Stores will be closed in the spring. I maintain my belief that Follett can not run off campus stores. There is decades of evidence to back this up. The off-campus stores I've been in since the acquisition look like they're being liquidated and about to be out of business. There are good people in Follett, hopefully upper management listens to them and the company gets it together. And for you guys that are miserable, life is too short to work in a bookstore for most of it, much less work in a bookstore and be miserable. The world is your oyster. Good luck

Thanks Ned. Follett won't get it together and anyone who would have partnered with you is long gone. Good luck in future endeavors.
