as a former comp employee too ....sorry to see you lose your job...i worked for them and agree ...i hated how they did things too...i worked for them part time for folding money...had a jerk for a store manager who liked to stack stuff around fire extinguishers and block fire exits..thought his head was going explode when i told him he had to move the stuff or i would have the store closed and him fined for what he was doing that day...my real job is im a firefighter/emt...it was a kinda love hate thing...LOL..the comp i worked at was closed last year...they will drag out their closing sale about a month or so when it gets down to the last few days is when the bargins are found ..if there is anything left in the store by that time...wish you the best in what ever you do next....i miss the free software they gave us |

Sorry about the loss of your job Circo. Not an easy thing to go through, doubly so at this time of year. I liked CompUSA and was surprised to see that the one in the Philly area was closing months ago when they shut down all those stores. It always seemed pretty busy and had been a big computer store for a long time, it was a Computer Warehouse before turning into CompUSA. I did kind of see that something bad was up when they started selling TV's, DVD's and game consoles, but figured that location was doing well enough to stick around. Guess not. I'd take the unemployment and do whatever I could to get out of retail. My wife worked in retail for nearly 10 years before her store closed up. She always worked crap hours, didn't get paid that great and ultimately got screwed by a company she was loyal to. She got another job locally and is kicking herself in the ass for not starting what she felt was a real career (her words) earlier. |

You're better off. I stopped going to CompUSA a long time ago because of their return policies, among other things. Good luck with finding a new job, I'm sure something will come up quick for you... |

Sorry to hear about your job, especially this time of year. As others have mentioned it may suck now but I'm sure in the end everything will work out for you and you will find yourself in a better position (job and life wise). As far as CompUSA goes I have to agree on your assessment about not being able to keep up with the NewEgg's and ZipZoomFly's of the world. When I wanted or needed something that day I would go to compusa to buy it but 99% of the time I just browsed. |
