I am constantly complaining about how this wonderful economy is screwing with the enjoyment of my job...
-from the constant nagging from all stores being unhappy for any possible reason that requires them to use their brain.
-to endless repetition of my boss' "smart ass" remarks. even though you warned him like
5 months ago..
-to fighting with the vendors because your not
meeting last yrs buys... in addition that you are requesting a heap load of RTV's and/or Markdown $..
basically just write my company a big fat check cuz your shit aint selling...
here's one mind blowing conversation:
vendor: "since we our businesses have such a great relationship, we will join together so that we can create profit for both of our businesses in the bad economy"
me: "great what did you have in mind?"
vendor: "if you double your buys with us, we will give you a 60% IMU"
me: (Choking) "you need to talk to my boss"
i don't see how doubling my buys and doubling my inventory to the sizes of macy's inventory (who i might add has moved there entire buying divisions to the east coast...thank you god!!) is completely insane!!!
umm were in a economic slump... that don't mean
were rollin in the doe.
so i was comforted when I found this story on
The story of "Are your favorite designer disappearing?"
this article does a great job of explaining what we buyers maybe going through.. and the stresses of buying smaller, later, and with NO MONEY..
