'They’ve been misleading, manipulative, and created far more stress in an already stressful time,' an Ann Taylor store manager told BuzzFeed News.

The Ann Taylor employee said the company used managers like her as “puppets” and made them look like “the bad guys.”

Naomi Slack, a store associate at an American Eagle in Oklahoma City, called the statement a"cleverly-worded lie." "They shouldn't get the press they're getting for being kind to their employees. when they're not," she said. Slack told BuzzFeed News that she had never been told she was a"flex associate" and did not even know what that meant.

When Slack lamented to him about needing the money, the manager told her,"It's something new none of us have gone through." The next day, she found out — through an American Eagle mass email sent to all customers on their subscription list — that they were closing all their stores. “While I am thankful for the time I was compensated for, it’s upsetting that what I would have normally been paid was cut over half for my last check until further notice,” the associate said. “This has affected me greatly financially. Like many store employees, I do not know when I will be making an income again, and am having trouble applying for unemployment since American Eagle has not laid off their employees yet.

She said that associates still haven’t received a company email about what the continued store closures mean store employees.
