my boss called me back for an update on the store situation.  i am not losing my job.  i point blank asked if they were thinking about getting rid of full timers, and she said no (she is so matter of fact that i know she wouldnt lie), not that she has heard.  i do have to give up my status as keyholder, and also my security codes for the door, but

Whew. That's a relief! Sucks about the key-holder deal but at least the pay is remaining intact!

BTW -- has your store been hearing that B&N is accepting Borders gift cards? Baby bro gets that at least once a week at his store... That and a friend went to a signed at B&N and the staff were upselling their rewards card, saying that Borders was closing soon so why not commit to their program?

Yeesh. Madness, I tell you!

we have not heard that they are accepting our cards. i dont know how that would work.

even if we were closing our program is free so they should still commit to ours.

weird.

i was technically supposed to give it up when they hired the inventory sup. they kept me on because itw as convenient.

our company is in trouble, so they have devised a new (mostly management) structure, stores are staffed based on their sales. our store had to cut one supervisor position. it would have been two, but since i was still on technically as a supervisor (key holder), they just moved me back down to bookseller. no pay cut, only thing that changed is the title it says on my paycheck, and the amount of work my direct supervisor will have to do.
