Barnes & Noble fired every single head cashier, receiving manager, and digital sales lead in the company today without warning because of poor holiday sales. That’s (potentially, they won’t report numbers) hundreds or thousands of jobs that disappeared overnight with the bottom line as the only cause.
On and off I worked for B&N for 7 years. I always liked them as a company, they always seemed to treat us pretty well for a corporate big box store. Guess I was wrong. This sucks for a lot of my former co-workers and is probably a sure sign that they’re on their last legs as a business.
