Exclamation Blockbuster Stores are Closing but very quietly

Stores all over the country are closing. long serving employees are being fired and theres a report that they are going to close all of their stores. If you work there start looking for something else because they only give the employees two weeks notice and then they are all thrown to the wolves.

I for one have no illusions about what is going on. They have to do what's best for them. I will go down with my ship and move on. If you can't see it you are in denial.

It's true though. You guys are all aboard a sinking ship right now. This company is definitely going down very soon.

I hate to stick up for the newb, but...

Apparently, they told the finance media before they told us.

(If you are taken to an ad, just skip it.)

ETA: Here's another copy of the story, on nasdaq.com.
