I worked at a high end retail store for a year and a few months. I quit in October.

I just found out yesterday they are closing that location along with a bunch of other locations because they are “reconstructing the chain.”

I had read for a number of months the rumors about stores closing. I never really believed them. I also thought my location would be one of the last to close. It’s across the street from a huge shopping mall, and it just seemed nicer then some of the others I’ve been to that are not closing.

I have mixed feelings about it. I’m glad I got out in time, I feel bad for some of the employees who have been there for 20 years, and I feel sort of guilty that maybe I was too hard on my boss. I thought she just hated me. But maybe she was dealing with other stuff.

I’m also kinda concerned because in the last month, a sports store I got a job offer at, and a Toys R Us I applied to and desperately wanted the job, have all closed. I don’t think my current job will close, but then again I had no idea my last job would close. And I wasn’t thinking those other two places would close. I live in a town that is known for its huge mall and other surrounding shopping areas. It’s difficult when the supposed best locations are closing.

Should I worry/feel bad about it? Or just let it go?
