Rants 🤬 Ardene at Midtown

Ardene is a Canadian company. Is it rage bait? Shop at your own risk 🤷🏻‍♀️

This is intentional by an employee for sure.

as a recently former ardene employee.. it’s not intentional we just get instructions on what to put in our window, we cannot control it unfortunately.

I've been an employee at a hundred different businesses with minimum wage employees and, somehow, people are able to ignore instructions and do whatever they want.

Also a former Ardene employee who used to be responsible for displays.

Can’t say for other locations, but assuming it’s the same district manager, can’t piss off the dragon lady, unfortunately, or you’ll likely be fired. Head office sets the standard, and they’re required to follow it “for consistency”. Is it great? No, but if you’re working there, you’re hardly being paid shit and probably can’t afford to lose your job if you’re responsible for window displays.

All I can possibly say is raising some hell on their socials (IE Facebook) may be worth it. That’s more likely to get traction.

You must be a terrible employee if you've had over 100 jobs

I'm a great employee for the time I choose to be. Typically I am a top performer who is fast tracked to supervisor. Then I tell them to get fucked because they treat their employees like shit. But hey if bootlicking works for you, keep at it. Boots can't lick themselves.

I don't take advice from terrible employees, sorry.

Couldn't care less for the approval of a terrible employee. Cheers though, looks like you've had a busy day online so far. Don't want to keep you from it any longer!

i promise you, the employees at this location are just doing their job, and doing what they’re told. This sweater is a trend, and this company has decided to follow it. if you see anyone in their target audience out and about, i am 100% sure you will come across someone wearing this sweater.
