		<description>@Maggie,

I&#039;m having a difficult time answering your question, only because privacy is key and in no way am I badmouthing the company.  It was my experience, unique to it&#039;s own, and without knowing that much, it&#039;s hard to give you the best advice.  The first step could be talking to your manager.  If your hours are being cut, ask why?  If they tell you it&#039;s something about your numbers, tell them something like (and I&#039;m just paraphrasing) &quot;I have demonstrated my ability to sell&quot;.  Also, keep in mind that J. Crew has that 1-800 number you can call to report anything.  It&#039;s anonymous.  Keep in mind when you call,  corporate does a mini investigation on what you reported.  Be accurate when you call.  They may ask for specific dates, times, etc.  You&#039;re not at all stuck.  It&#039;s just that your in a situation that isn&#039;t in your favor.  If everything fails, and you&#039;ve tried talking to your managers-- quit.  I&#039;m sure J. Crew will ask for a two-week notice, but it&#039;s only something nice to do.  For me, they didn&#039;t deserve the two weeks notice and I left.</description>
