Faith no more?

Anyone a fan of Faith shoes? I'm guessing the majority of you have said yes. However, time is running out for the company unless a buyer is found soon.The company went into administration on Wednesday night, after totalling up £14 million debt. As a sales assistant at Faith, I experienced first hand how irrelevant the staff are to big businesses. As always we were the last to find out; even my father had read it in the paper before me!

And we are still none the wiser of what is going on except for we now have zillions of posters around the store, screaming out "Store closing down. Everything must go!"

For me and my colleagues, it is not just the thought of losing our jobs that makes us sad, but the fact that we won't be a faithlet anymore. We are really close friends even though it is a dozen girls working together!

What has surprised me is the different reactions from people. Some can't believe it and say they are gutted that they can't buy Faith shoes anymore. A lot of people, especially in other shops, give us sympathy looks or little smirks because they are still secure in their jobs. Other people are complaining that there isn't enough discount and one blogger has said that Faith deserves it because their shoes were too expensive!

Why is everyone against each other in the fashion industry? In bleak times like these shouldn't we be supporting each other?
