Quit whining. A shuttered store is the best thing that can happen to you. Look at the questions from a future employer: what did you do? I increased profits in my department by 50% and increased CSATS scores110%.
If your store is closed how can they question you?
Do not quit!!staying with the store through closing is your best bet.
We got unlimited overtime. I made as much in three months of liquidation than I did the whole year before. I'm tired but rich.
Liquidation is a horrible process, and I never want to go through that process again!
We should have left when they announced our store was closing but we had heard from other closings in the area that there would be unlimited overtime. We thought making some extra money would really help when the severance ran out as two months is not much time to find a new job. But it turned out that our liquidator did not like giving out overtime. She would rather hire temps to do our job. Just another insult to us employees. So if you decide to stay through liquidation check first if your going to get lots of extra hours. If not then start looking.
Our store closed in the last round of closings. The day after it was announced at least 60% of us quit. The few weeks later we were all rehired by the liquidator at twice the pay. Good deal.
Guys come on the op is just being sarcastic. We will see a lot of that for a while as everyone is working and busy and tired.
Have to agree with @vhd. You need to start looking now while you are employed. The unspoken understanding out on the streets is your chance of finding a job decreases significantly the moment you are unemployed. Employers discriminate like it or not. So yeah, don’t ride it out like the OP is suggesting. He or she sounds like someone who has not played the field in a long while.
This is probably the very worst advice I've read here.....Staying with the store through closing is NOT the best bet. It is ALWAYS better to find another job while you are still employed. When this ship sinks you will be in direct competition with all of your fellow drowning rats.
