Darkwing Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Well the big news in my day is that the company I work for (Empire Theatres) was just sold to Cineplex. So now Cineplex is the only major movie chain in Canada! I have no idea what this is gonna be like, hopefully I'll still have my job once all is said and done! http://thechronicleherald.ca/business/1137...s-film-business UPDATE: We get to keep our jobs, yay!

Wildsided Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I thought there was a monopolies commission to stop 1 company having the whole market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkwing Posted June 29, 2013 Author Share Posted June 29, 2013 I'm not sure. I don't think so, but then again, I'm not exactly the world's foremost expert on Canadian business It's crazy though, things are a little chaotic and stuff. Like we're only finding details out through social media sites and newspapers. Our head office hasn't even like told us any details, in fact I don't even think they know what's going on. It's gonna be a crazy couple of months/year cause I guess they're completely rebranding and could even redesign theatres like ours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildsided Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 That's rough dude. At least they're keeping you on though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkwing Posted June 29, 2013 Author Share Posted June 29, 2013 Yea, it's one of those times that I'm glad that I never worked my way up the chain. Most of head office is out of jobs with this sale. I *think* it'll be for the best, Empire was always kind of a run-down sort of company anyways. I personally think the finances were never there to really improve on things and that's why theatres like the one I work never had any work done to it over the course of its 15 years of operation. Like our poppers are the same ones that were installed with the building. I tell yea, it's a real pain keeping 15 year old machinery ship-shape.
