The cuts, announced Tuesday, follow the company's move in April to eliminate 600 workers at its headquarters.

Not sure what their employees pay for their health insurance but one of my docs had to admit a patient today and a check of their benefits revealed a very poor plan with very limited benefits.

What’s AMAZING is that some 50% of the country would support a company that emphasized FAMILY VALUES and put that front and center. No double-men centerfolds, yes Christmas, yes America, etc.

One company would OWN that demographic (i.e., half of the country).

But not one does it...yet they’re not idiots...some of their management may even support this country. Yet no one does it? So why not? It’s not worth “the headaches” they will have when the mobs descend on them. That simple, it’s ALL intimidation now.

“Hopefully they will go back to a family-friendly atmosphere....”

Frankly, my dear, I don’t givea d...! I won’t shop there again at least until they ditch this faggot CEO who swerved the company into the bath house, and probably not even then.

Guess the Gay C Penney campaign didn’t work out too well.

“Guess the Gay C Penney campaign didn’t work out too well.”

Your summary is excellent.

Gay pandering only makes money in Gay Frisco.

Would a B-school have the balls to address this move that rivals the Schlitz formulation fiasco?

I won’t either. I just worry about all the people who are being laid off because of their new all-gay agenda.

I went through Penny's at the mall last weekend, aside from it being half deserted, the first thing I see as I get off the escalator is a section of pre-tied bow ties.

First off it is 110 degrees out and more importantly its Greenwood, Indiana, not known as the mecca of bow ties.

The bow ties may compliment their new ad structure but it is a marketing nightmare for this area.

Suicide marketing.

I guess my boycott is working. I used to shop there a lot, and I shop for quite a few people.

I guess doubling-down on that ALL QUEER, ALL-THE-TIME sales strategy isn't working. WHODATHUNKIT..

I guess that's what you get when you market based on who yells the loudest....

My Penney in the mall has no customers and hardly any clerks. Plenty of merchandise sitting around, though.

It's eerie.

Too bad. For decades I've always purchased my bed linens and bath stuff from them.....and it has always been good quality......something I believe most freeperettes of a certain age would attest to.
