Stitcher's World magazine
Just for everyone's information, Herrschners closed the office of Stitcher's
World in Norcross GA (Atlanta) today, fired ALL of the staff, and is packing the offices to take back to WI. No advanced notice was given. Employees were told to pack up and leave immediately. |

I would have thought that there were laws to provide better treatment for
the employees. If nothing else at least a little notice. Perhaps Norcross will be better off with such an employer out of there.

http://www.printbindery.com/021_prin...ustry_news.htm It isn't in the
news as yet. Didn't find any hits on my internet search. What they did is pretty much standard here for a failing or downsizing company. They never get advanced notices, the severance packages come later. Darlene "Villagplhs" wrote in message ...

I'd like some confirmation from someone who is at least willing to sign
his/her posts before I get into a dither. The magazine's website is still up and there is no mention on there.

The magazine will still be in production. It's just that the offices here in the Atlanta area were apparently closed and everything moved to Wisconsin (I think). I doubt if the magazine will tell anyone anything as technically, there is no need to. CiaoMeow ^;;^ ..

I'm coming out of lurkdom to reply to this. I think people have gotten their
information criss crossed. Crazy for Cross Stitch is ceasing publication. This link was posted in another group that I'm on. My subscription doesn't expire until D/J 2005. I've sent them an email to inquire about a refund for the issues I won't be receiving. I'm not happy! http://www.crazyforcrossstitch.com/a...criptions.html Carla in KY WIP: 'Heirloom Memory Sampler' by The Victoria Sampler http://community.webshots.com/user/cjsstewart7 "Tia Mary-remove nekoluvr to reply " wrote in message ...

The original poster has written to me privately to explain how the
information was obtained. The Norcross office is closed although that doesn't necessarily mean the end of the magazine. It also doesn't mean it will keep going since everyone was dismissed. This kind of stuff stinks! Carla Stewart wrote: I'm coming out of lurkdom to reply to this. I think people have gotten their information criss crossed. Crazy for Cross Stitch is ceasing publication.

Ok, here's the scoop. Stitcher's World magazine will still be published.
However, it will NOT be the same magazine. The staff in Georgia loved that magazine and put their heart and soul into it. Jules Bekker, the publisher and editor, is so talented; it won't be the same quality magazine without her vision (trust me on this). I don't know who the editor in Wisconsin will be. The staff was told yesterday that the magazine would be moving. This is well within the rights of the owner of any business. What I personally take issue with (I guess I'm biased because I know all of the people and respect Jules so much) is the fact the people were terminated with no notice. They were given 45 minutes to clean out their desks and leave the premises. You have no idea how much work goes into putting out a quality magazine. For the last year, they have been doing it with a staff of five plus one part-time person. They put in well over 40 hours a week and deserved to be treated with more respect! I know I will be canceling my subscription because I won't financially support a company that treats employees this way. Janet "Villagplhs" wrote in message ...
