CABELA'S LAYING PEOPLE OFF
Cabela's, the great sporting good store chain came to Hammond Indiana. They wanted this, they wanted that plus all sorts of tax breaks. We are bringing jobs to the area was one of the things they said and they did. They hired 420 employees to handle the expected throngs of people which now they say never came. Guess what? Now they say they are not making enough money at the Hammond store and are going to lay off 40 people. Besides these 40 people 130 more have left since the store opened in October 2007. The article also stated that they plan on opening 2 more stores this year. My question is if you are losing money why open more stores. Just to close them? I've seen this same thing happen at the place I worked and it only benefits the higher ups. Let them cut their salaries to make ends meet.
