Original Comment The Nordie's people at the &quot;way top&quot; are wonderful, caring and decent folks. I suspect Blake and Co. don't know really know what's going on at the lowest store (read that The Rack) level. I believe they would also be appalled at the hiring and promotion practices in these stores. From my experience as a customer for years and an employee since 2009, competence and skill are NOT prerequisites for management and moving up the corporate ladder. It's about &quot;looking the part.&quot; Not intending to generalize but just reacting to what I have seen...if you are young, female and from a visibly ethnic group, your internal growth rate matches the speed of the space shuttle. There is unprovable discrimination toward age, non-visibly ethnic and religious minorities, males...an over 40 Jewish man need not apply...not due to blatant discrimination but because of the ignorance and pre-conceived ideas of store and department management as well as the lack of flexibility in decision-making that separates inexperienced youth from the mature worldly vision of slightly older folks with some life experience. <br /> And let's not forget what a title and feeling of power can do...think Lord of the Flies! Oh, Blake, please visit your stores and talk to the employees...buy them a coffee and cut to the chase...you'll be surprised how a great company can be even greater. Remember, happy employees make for happy customers who stay longer and spend more!
