So today is my day off. I was sitting nicely on the couch with my wife, watching tv while my daughter was at school and my son was having a nap, when my phone beeps indicating I've got a txt msg. I pull out my phone and see that the msg is from my boss. The msg just says...
"Got my walking papers today. It's been nice working with you. If you hear of any job openings, please let me know"
I was shocked. Between my two runs with the company I've been with the company since 1997. He has been with the company for aprox 5 years longer then that. He basically started with the company the year after it started up in Canada. There isn't many people from that era left.
So all day I've been txting my fellow store managers and have even heard from some former store managers that left the company a few years back, needless to say news traveled fast. But no clear answers.
Was this a downsizing? Was there a performance issue? Earlier this week the company layed off 4 people at the home office.
Needless to say I'm not sure what to make of all this. But I'm guessing there will be a boat load of e-mails to read tomorrow when I get into work.
