Thread regarding Follett layoffs

In the end, it is the desire of this company to tho through self-inflicted attrition. They talk a lot about how grateful they are for years - in some cases DECADES of service, but the truth is they don't want people with 970 compa ratios, not even people at midpoint. The direction this company is going has them wanting managers and other leaders well below midpoint. They want people who don't know any better, but with at comes a glaring lack of skill and knowledge that you see in seasoned store managers and especially text managers. The new breed won't know the intricacies of QTCs, the text cycle, balanced sourcing, etc. They also seem to be going after manager bonuses...why did it take so long to get the fall PRL? Why was there mixed messages about whether to return used stock that was read opted for spring? They want to control your "controllable investment," and thereby control your bonus. They know that in the end, they will lose money on many of these used titles anyway, so why not pass the blame onto the stores, dilute the manager bonuses, and force even more higher paid managers to look elsewhere. Look no further than the hemorrhage at the top. Do you really think Steve Pribyll really wanted to leave? Who else at the top is on the way out. Run for the hills kids, retail utopia is burning.
