4300+ jobs down the pan......

If any of you are holding HMV gift vouchers they are now worthless.

But if you are an ex-director running away with all that dosh, you are looking for another organisation to wreck.

Have they found a home for Nipper or will he be put down??? :roll:

Coming on the heels of Jessops collapse, it wont be an easy time for experienced or inexperienced retail staff now with 6000 staff chasing a handful of High St jobs. Very sad.

Good chance Waterstones will be next and there are rumours out there about Superdrug. Although Superdrug of course offers a tangible product that cannot be digitally supplied.

To be honest ... it's no surprise with HMV. I heard last year they were going bust. We got rid of our vouchers way back then. And Jessops ruined the business when they stopped taking part-ex camera's etc. Lots of people went to them as they did part-ex, even though they were more expensive. When they stopped people just went online and got stuff much cheaper :(
