Why Hollywood is better

I am a very happy employee of Hollywood video, never worked for the Block and always found them annoying. But why is Hollywood so much better? I'll tell you.

Hollywood hires great people, no "band aids." At first I thought it started with good managers. Then I realized someone was hiring them. I was right. They have some really good District managers, at least in the New England area where I work. Then I thought, who is hiring these guys? You guessed it. They have a great Regional Manager. I've never met his boss so I can't say if it goes any higher than that, but I would guess it does. It just goes to show that its all about the people, not the stock price, not the crap at the theaters, its always about the people.

Enjoy the rest of the holidays.

The guys at the Hollywood down here are rude to me when I call over mismatches from their store. I'm like "You KNOW I can easily just validate these in at the next inventory, so watch the 'tude!"

Our rivals, Choices, are like that. The conversations goes,

-"Hi, we have a coueple of your DVDs."
-"Yeah... and?"
-"Oh, okay, would you like me to give you the numbers?"
-*sighs*"Yeah... go on then..."
-"Okay..."

And then they sit in our MM pile for 6 weeks.

I don't think hollywood is all that bad, my friend is the manager of one a few miles away. His store looks like crap. Wish he'd come work for us instead.

Enjoy the rest of the holidays.

A) Try cleaning up your store and stop leaving boxes lying around.

B) If you are so successful, why were you on the verge of bankruptcy for most of the last decade, and finally got bought out by a SMALLER company??

C) I know HV employees, managers, and even DMs, and have had run ins with RMs. They are no better than BBI personel, and in many cases worse. Some of those people even work in New England, so your opinion means very little to me at this point.

D) If your people are so friggin' GR-REAT, then why do ALL of your DMs and RMs come from external hires, and not internal promotions??

E) Have an awesome holiday, and don't think about the next round of downsizes in the first quarter 06.
