One of the reasons for Tweeters down fall. We all deserve metals for dealing with KL and his games. The put bean heads like installers who where demoted from management back in charge of stores. A guy that failed once before will fail again. We all where sold a bag of goods, Im just happy I told KL to stick it up his ass. It felt good. It was fun while it lasted. If you need jobs look me up you know where to find me. Best wishes. MR. BLAH. Hey Phil,

Back in June the regional for 2A told me that my time was limited with the company due to lack in sales, looks likes so is his "karma's a bitch" . After everthing i had done. Went to new tranning help remodel the store on my own time. Did delivery's with my own truck. I sat in a store with no traffic where they paid people $15 an hr to pickup a phone!!I got out so should all of you who are still there. the company does not care about the sales staff, just the bottom line. And it looks like the end is finaly here. It's a shame that tweeter had to go out this way. But when you put people in charge that have no clue what there doing what do you expect. Philip Rackley "There is no victory without sacrifice" Well hate to say it but your all right!!!

It was a great place to work 2 years ago. The upper management is the reason for failure. My RSM was an idiot. A snail had more common sense. Guierrlla marketing, look where it got you. They let the good guys go and kept the crap and now it caught up to them. Well good luck to all you Tweeter guys below upper management.

No severance package, just a Google map to the nearest unemployment office. The scheduling Dept is no longer allowed to schedule anything after the 14th on November. So sad, it was such a good company to work for...SA, not Tweeter. I wish everyone (below the management level) the best luck out there. Steve N. - I hear they need night shift managers over at the McD's. You might be able to direct people placing meat on buns...Then again you'll probably screw that up.
