Walmart has done a bit of a purge it aeems. All middle managers (over department managers but under store managers) have been reassigned to other positions, or most just let go permanently. In my area, at least. Any others out there seeing this? If they are watching wages and cutting back, this could affect whether or not they care to keep our studios as tenants, as they get a % for the rent of our sales, as I understand. Plus we owed them a buttload of backrent in 2013 which didnt make us look too good to the accountants. So sorry, PixlChk, I pesonally hate losing you for feedback! I have knocked myself out trying to find out what is going on with the company, but no amount of back door snooping seems to get any results. I did see on Facebook that there was a settlement offer to all the employees who were left high and dry stateside, but it was an offer letter and hasn't gone through yet, so unless here are any stateside folks still hanging around this board willing to share, thats about all I can do for now.
I will say we are on STRICT hour watch, but my studio is fully stocked with supplies and my paycheque still arrives every week, so here is a cash flow from SOMEWHERE. Sales average to lower than last year, but not embarrasingly so for us. Just taking it day by day.
