The company is fucking dead of course you're gonna be fired.
Looks like the guy who runs the Twitter account isn't listening to his master's voice any more
What exactly is HMV?
190 is not a lot, could have been a lot more.
[QUOTE=InsanePyro;39427080]What exactly is HMV?[/QUOTE] A retail store that sells stuff like DVD's some games etc, I mainly used it for buying new earphones.
boo fucking hoo. it was inevitable. i mean-- it happened to blockbuster for christs sake. they shoulda seen it coming and sought employment elsewhere sooner

[QUOTE]The tweets apparently threw the PR department into a panic, with the Twitter user adding: 'Just overheard our Marketing Director (he's staying, folks) ask "How do I shut down Twitter?"'[/QUOTE] [QUOTE]Aidan Dolan tweeted: 'Well done to the person who had the balls to tweet about the staff being fired £hmvXFactorFiring.'[/QUOTE]

Although yes it was obvious, the site redirects to this image for a start: [img]http://www.hmv.com/hmv/site_down_1a.jpg[/img]
[QUOTE=Amiga OS;39427089]A shit store that sells shit music.[/QUOTE] And they have these shitty isle set ups that can only fit one person at a time through them.

[QUOTE=InsanePyro;39427080]What exactly is HMV?[/QUOTE] the most obsolete thing in existence
All I ever used it for was buying cheap earphones for under £10, everything else was overpriced or had dre beats written on it
[QUOTE=Amiga OS;39427089]A shit store that sells shit music.[/QUOTE] Don't forget shit prices.
So how long until the sale ends, if it's still going on at all? I've heard that the discounts in there are pretty good.
[QUOTE=Cheese?;39427038]The company is fucking dead of course you're gonna be fired.[/QUOTE] But it isn't dead, the stores are staying open.
