The Neiman Marcus Fiasco
OK. So by now everyone knows that the Neiman Marcus/Target coupling was an epic fail.
At least corporate got smart and dumped the ugly ass stuff when it was at 70% off and didn’t go 90%.
Of course if you bought it you can’t return it, but hey at least you can brag you bought your daughter the ugliest bicycle on the planet for $150 instead of $400. (She’d probably be less mortified and teased on a banana seat.)
The question is, how will this multi-million dollar flop hurt employees?
At least where I am they didn’t salvage the stuff by “best practice” (english: throw out). So you will probably see some homeless woman running around in a designer dress and local drunk man in a Navy blazer. LOL.
Thoughts, fears, tales to tell already?

Yeah that stuff was ugly as fuck and way expensive.
Yeah that shit crashed and burned. Hell one of the team members in my store rode one of the bikes around the sotre for shits and giggles. Neiman Marcus just hurt themslves by selling with associating with Target. Do they really think someone who spends a grand on a fucking coat will shop at Target?
you guys actually still go in target I haven't stepped foot in there since I left, and I never will!
I actually just got a new job and am quitting next week! woot!
Congratulations!
the bike was $500
LOL. That would make it about $450 too much for something that looked like motel curtains from the 70s.
I laughed my ass off at how little of that garbage we sold, I would not take it if you gave it to me..
It was the ugliest shit I have ever seen..
I also got a new job last week, I start next week, and get to sit down all day.....much like all my execs at the old store.
