Guess they were worried more about their own jobs and not mine. The company will close another 200 stores this year so I will have more company in the float pool. They are not hiring for those that have jumped because of the upcoming store closures. It has forced me out of complacency and after 10 years I have brushed off my resume and started looking again. Another chain or food/drug does not meet the bill so hopefully I find a better fit.

Like so many others got to pay bills and put away for retirement. Keep professional and of good spirits.
That sucks.
My buddy was in a similar spot at a major chain in walgreens. He finally just got on with the VA.
What do you think you want to do?

FWIW, I'm looking as well. Unbelievably, looking to get back IN.
