The Dean Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 MADE IT!!!! its a bloodbath over here, but I survived....thanks for the wishes Good news, although I suspect that things will be a little more difficult, and a little less fun for a while. But, few things suck as much as losing a job right before the holidays. Congrats, Pooj. Maybe next year you look for a new job, and fire them.
bartshan-83 Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 Excellent news! I can't recall the number of times you've jumped to CC's defense on this board when it was attacked directly or indirectly...you were often overzealous in your defense in my opinion. And I don't mean that as an attack on you at all...quite the opposite. It is rare that companies have employees who care enough to vigorously defend them as you have on so many occasions. It would have been a disservice to the company if you had gotten caught in the crossfire here. Congrats!

Bullpen Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 Great news Pooj... keep your resume updated though just in case. I learned that lesson the hard way. Again, congratulations.

Lv-Bills Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 Congrats Pooj. Now, me and the mrs. are about to buy a big screen HD TV, so if you can get me a deal or some good coupons I may come on in one of the Richmond locations and pick it up.

BillsWatch Posted November 8, 2008 Posted November 8, 2008 Congratulations for keeping job. Remember best time to find a new job is when you have a job so keep one oar in water.
Nanker Posted November 8, 2008 Posted November 8, 2008 Congrats Pooj, and - what GH said above. BTW - enjoy your cornflakes today!
The Poojer Posted November 8, 2008 Author Posted November 8, 2008 cornflakes are great this morning.....i do like it without that salty taste Congrats Pooj, and - what GH said above.BTW - enjoy your cornflakes today!
Wacka Posted November 8, 2008 Posted November 8, 2008 Glad to hear that you made it. They are closing the CC store in my town, but it was not surprising. Everytime I went in there, there were about the same # of employees as customers. They were talking about moving to a new plaza. Also in town, the Chevy dealer is going under. Not unexpected also since all the dealers have moved out of "downtown" to another area of town. They were the last one. Also the Mervyn's chain is closing, which had a large store in town. The town looks at it as a way to revitalize the downtown with a more modern mix of stores.
The Poojer Posted November 8, 2008 Author Posted November 8, 2008 from what i was told the nearly 20% of stores we are closing accounted for only 10% of total revenues, so it does appear that we went after the underperforming ones, now lets see what we can do with the moves we made...
