Topics regarding layoffs at Belk

Don't let the door hit you

There is no point in complaining and wondering why some department is out of stock on something, why L’Oreal and other brands are pulling out of Belk... The inevitability is that Belk will sink and the only thing to think about is how to get out of... — read more

Belk literally sucks.

Hey friends. So I seriously cannot take this place anymore. The store manager comes and goes as she pleases, is gone at least 3 days a week because she calls off, and literally sucks. The store manager even TEXTED a family member of mine who USED to... — read more 

The harder you work, the less protected you are

Why does Belk always, ALWAYS punishes its best employees who work hard and who are the responsible ones by pushing us under the bus, be it with customers or by laying us off? Yet workers who are lazy, gossipy, and rude with customers and the rest of... — read more 

Rating of 1-10

Without naming your location, rate your store from 1 (being the worst) to 10 (being the best) and why. I’ll start first. I'd rate my location as a 6. We seem to be way more unorganized after the layoffs that happened last year. We let go of... — read more

How do you manage to maintain a positive attitude?

Despite everything, I try not to become a completely bitter employee and maintain a positive attitude. Every day I try to find some motivation to work, so as not to fall into complete depression. However, it is very difficult when you see that many... — read more 

You can not, or are not trying?

Working at Belk is a miserable feeling. I worked there until recently because I thought I couldn’t find a better job in this industry, primarily given my age, so I didn't even try. The first time I decided to dedicate myself to looking for a new... — read more

How many different jobs are you doing?

The situation here has really become ridiculous. I do three different jobs at Belk. Do they really think this is normal? I absolutely think that it would be better for the company (and for everyone else) to hire more people, than to squeeze the... — read more 

Do you confront difficult coworkers?

Working in this company is very stressful and it is understandable why everyone is a bit frustrated. However, this is still no excuse for my difficult coworkers. I definitely plan to inform HR, but I'm afraid that's not the best solution. I was... — read more

Anyone else notice that their social media team is deleting all disparaging comments? Some threads leave the replies, but any (true) bad reviews and comments are being deleted

Being scheduled excessive days in a row

My store keeps scheduling people 6-8 days in a row before we get a day off. They won't change it either when we point it out. We are all so burnt out. Anyone else have this going on?

having to ask permission to use restroom

my store is telling associates they have to ask before using the restroom. is anyone else experiencing this? i don't think grown adults need to ask to go to the restroom. we are not children.

We need more time off

Every single one of us full timers (but I'm thinking the same is true for part timers) needs three days off in a row every week to recover from the constant bu-----t we have to take here day in, day out. Maybe then some of the managers who spend... — read more

Write ups over Credit/Email

Is anyone else's store writing people up over not making credit or email capture goals? My store just started doing this a few weeks ago and we'd never done this before. Just curious if this is a company wide thing or if my store is just crazy.

Maybe I'm too nostalgic

Back in the day I couldn't even think that Belk could get into this situation of talking about Chapter 7. Despite the fact that the job I did here wasn't easy and that I felt very bad many times because the employees weren't treated well, I am still... — read more

Was announced today Chanel is leaving Belk. Bring on the dr-g store fragrances.

Staying until the end?

I left this company recently because I am not so miserable to do a huge job for the company until it closes its doors without being adequately paid or valued for it. Being the last one on a sinking ship in this case there is nothing to be proud of... — read more

Can't find a new job?

When I was still working in Belk, I was sick of people constantly telling me that I needed to look for a new job. Basically, I was too lazy to look for a new job, and I thought I couldn’t get any much better job, so I postponed my job search as long... — read more 

Tired of being short staffed

Just wondering when the company is going to hire, if at all. Running on a skeleton crew daily is exhausting, and with the hours back to regular business hours, fitting rooms opening up, we barely have the staff to man the business we have. How long... — read more
