Well, I started my apprenticeship as a data processing merchant at that store 17 years ago (to be exact on 1.8.86). It's quite remarkable how much everything has changed - back then it was a store with about 330 employees, fairly compact and with a surprisingly social management and a very pleasant work atmosphere. Today it has all become noticeably sharper and harder. Shame - because somewhere something got lost that had once made the store a dream employer in Münster. Well, for a few years now I've been sitting in a subsidiary of GAD, and in a couple more years it will probably be as big as GAD was back when I started...
Somehow I feel old now.
