My dm told us Monday that clear lake is not wanting to pay what the bank wants for us... Who knows! She said they are still in negotiation
Wow! I haven't been able to work more then 30 since Christmas... That is a good? Let us know what the answer is
Your right
I understand your in California and we might be in the same district, if so explain the situation to her... She'll understand! If we're not I'm sorry because my dm does let me with an exclamation...
I understand
I understand
what area are you in? i know in my area there is one studio closing due to Wal mart putting something else in there place... I wonder are you in a WalMart, Sears, or ToysRUs? Do you know what devisions are closing studios?
They are compressed and I have several customer who are upset about the size of the images we use to not compress them and they were allot larger... I personally have three customers that have complained on yelp not about me your about photos but the size of the image saying there iPhone is a larger size
What do you say to the customers who complain about the size of the image on the cd? I have been getting a lot of these complaints?? I'm also very passionate about the cd but these last 2/3 year's they have been complaining a lot about this...
Mine is gone off iPay too...
I understand Wal-Mart is not a great location... It isn't were people go for anything valuable is were they go for great prices... I'm in a sears and just yesterday a customer came to me and asked to do a walk in not a problem then I told her our prices again no problem except she follows up saying "this is ok, these will be professional I wasn't paying the prices at Wal-Mart" I said nothing... I worked in Wal-Mart in the past and it is different...
10% is what it is at Sears also
10% is better then what your going to pay in my area believe that
I will probably do this same thing... Honestly I should of done it 10+ yrs ago... First I'll go down with the titanic only time will tell we could get pull threw. And I'm one of the people that everyone thinks drank the kook aide and I don't mind... Rent is expensive and at Sears and Wal-Mart it is not...
I totally understand that I'm in same boat but there are thousands of us and we know how to run the business better then anyone else a lot of us have years and years of experience and I'm thinking that if everyone was on board it would be reasonable... A lot of us have dedicated our life to portraiture...
What if....
As employees we put some money together and make an offer. Ok maybe it sounds crazy but I seen a couple years back how some employees of another much smaller company did just that and if your not part of the solution your part of the problem...
Does anyone know what clear lake is offering because we would only have to beat that...
We would make the discussions and you never know if your going to succeed until you try..
Plus have there photos back sooner
Funny you mentioned using Wal-Mart photo processing I said that when AFP original opened them in the early 90's
So we get an email today from corporate we are going to be getting paid weekly... Pay ends Tuesday we will see that weeks pay on Friday
At least you got an email I just asked dm she has no idea what I was talking about
We have so many studio manager that already quit it isn't even funny anymore I believe we have abt half of them left... Covering studios is a challenge to say the least...
I received that call last week right before my long distance was shut off
I Met coincidence
I'm in the west coast... I talked with home office they said it would be taken care of in 24 hours but it's been three days now plus one studio with internet down they said no ETA on when it would be fixed its a provider issue... I'm going to call them again in the morning... In my district it seems like It's mostly Sears but that could just be a convenient
That is a lot... Yes it sucks not to be able to call them especially when we were told to tell them no delivery dates and we would call them which we cannot do
Thank you
If a stock is removed from market because the price is under .10... What would you say the true reality of the company is? The company I'm working for is about to be removed and as an employee they are telling us no worries we are talking with potential buyers... I however read they only had until 2/15 to liquidate or pay lenders... Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask...
Don't take what anyone says to you to heart, Mystie... Just give your 100% and your right everything will fall into place. My district isn't making goals and isn't recieving write up or being talk to the way so of these people are... We are just lucky I think
Phone service... A lot of studios have lost phone service in my district mainly long distance but a couple studios also lost internet... They have been told to save orders not print them...
The company is clear lake capital... Check out there portfolio at http://www.clearlakecaptial.com/portfolio I believe that is what was texted to.me...
They own a lot of random companies including Jacuzzi, 3d equipment, Swiss watches, and many more... I searched them and they do seem to buy allot of companies that go bankrupt
The fact of the matter is they are filing bankruptcy and we aren't going to see the pay... Regardless of what we do my good friend worked for kk when they filed and to this day hasn't got paid
I just read up on bankruptcy and I would agree chapter 7 is for liquidation which is what we are going to have to be... Chapter 11 is reorganization which we have tried to already do several times... Let's pray and if you haven't already apply for unemployment
It maybe my dm and rd are awesome even threw the pressure I believe the company needs to be more forth coming but I am fairly close to my dm and she has told me stuff in confidence before so I believe if she new something she would share it now... However, I do understand I am one of the lucky ones...
I am 100% sure that the upper management that should go won't because they will have insured themselves a job
Do you truly believe that upper management will leave when CPI is bought? You have to know that regardless of what happens upper management will have assured themself a job
Well, this really doesn't make much since now does it... Unless the buyer wants to remodel
Idk I haven't heard anything about this email at all, and I personally won't believe it until I see It
Dms received an email today stating there will be no MLK pay at this time and they are still on travel restriction... I checked in my state it is only legal if the employer is having financial difficulties
Well said
It's better to be prepared... Fact is all my great employees have be promoted into management with so many people jumping ship... Being optimist isn't a bad thing I personally know what could happen but I also am going to continue to do my job as long as I can in hopes we do pull threw... I'm not going to be caught off gaurd with no employees at Easter...
