I am currently looking for another job, due to the store at Menai closing. During the past month we had closed doors for BBB & opened BM for a short period. We were offering discounted products to customers of which were from 1 supplier only. Sadly even though customers are demanding discounts on an everyday basis, the products were simply not as popular as expected & therefore saw very small amounts of sales going through the store. On top of customers not coming to the location, the store could just not stay open anymore. BBB has relocated into the Moorebank location & we look after all our customers there as much as possible with the ever popular free home deliveries etc. I have been offered a position at the store there with a maximum of 20 hours. Unfortunately it is not enough for us to financially survive & I have had to cut the loyalty ties & begin looking elsewhere for work. I am considering going back to child care as there seems to be very little available in baby stores around Sydney.

I have learnt a wealth of knowledge in the past several months that I have been in the industry & wish dearly to put it to good use elsewhere. I have found working closely with families & as special to me as the care for their children.

All I can do is keep an ear to the ground & do as much as I can to locate another job.

I have been asked to stay with BBB for the next few weeks & promised to do so. It will be sad to leave my last day there, but I will look at it as positively as I can.

It’s not the end of the world for me or anyone else that has had to be let go. But I’m sure we all will miss working with each other & will try to keep in touch as much as possible. I have made new friends since working in BBB. Friends I hope will stay just that for the rest of time.
