Sprint retail store closure in Georgia...first of many more to come

In a recent District conference call, it was confirmed that one of the Sprint corporate retail stores in Columbus, GA, will be closing their doors and terminating the entire staff there without any option for transfer to another department within Sprint as part of the 125 corporate retail stores to be completed over the next two weeks. At least the axed employees will walk with 8 weeks of salary plus 1 week for every full year works at Sprint as well as 100% pay out for PTO and accrued vacation.

As sad as it is it shows me they are actively making sprint better. It got out of hand with too many stores and too many employees. But it still sucks for the workers.

What is bad is the fact the two Columbus stores are .6 miles from one another. Kind of reminds me of a Starbucks being on every corner. ๐Ÿคฃ

I was laid off almost a year ago from the one that is not closing - I was Assistant Store Manager. I hate it for those that will have to find more employment. I am thankful that I didn't have to find employment so I could be a full time stay-at-home dad. I hope Sprint pulls through, but it doesn't look good at all.

why you say that. They are worth billions they have billions of assets along with spectrum. They are not going anywhere! They need to fix what they did i the past and this is a good step. No reason to have two stores that close to each other. And ordering online is much more cost efficient. No sales people no overhead cost.

I was just saying things don't look good. I didn't say they were going anywhere.

yeah ive worked in a corp. sprint store that is only 2 stop signs away from another corp sprint store for the past yr and a half and it is finally closing. Reason: store is to close to a higher producing store

All i have to say to everyone is GO OUT WITH A BANG! regardless if you get transfered or layed off show sprint what your made of.
