Seems items are getting sold out before a lot of shoppers are getting a chance to shop, and (surprise) those lucky enough to check out with items are getting email "out of stock" cancelations later... I remember in a meeting listening to some guy... — read more
Leave Michigan Avenue soon
Macy’s is closing their 170,000 sq foot Water Tower location. The Magnificent Mile is dead, ruined by crime, and the local .gov won’t protect your business or your customers. It’s time to leave.
Visual merchandising
The Visual Dept at Nordstrom turned into privileged mean girls club. There was no diversity on my last team. A bunch of young spot brats. They hate older people. We had Tarot card readings from an x coworker who felt gifted every Friday from 1-3. ... — read more
Q2 earnings
Who’s got the dirty details on the 2nd quarter. Some of us can’t wait! Does anyone know Nordstrom’s next move once those earnings are released? Conveniently in the middle of anniversary. This is like watching a train on fire coming into the... — read more
Is Nordy gone?
Tried to access their site but hitting intermittent errors. What’s the latest? Did everyone get the severance checks? I didn’t
Staff hired back for anniversary are up for slaughter. All these temporary workers will have to face a layoff In a month
They only hired people back to get them off unemployment. They will face a lay-off after the sale but coded as seasonal they will have to fight for unemployment. It’s a dirty dirty game
Hautelook?
I hear Hautelook is doing great right now – anyone know if true?
Visual Merchandising
Hi there. What has happened to the visual departments? Have they been cut like Macys has done? Are associates and managers expected to change mannequins? Are windows being closed off? Thanks for any responses. I am a former visual stylist that... — read more
no grown adult should be working for $12.50 an hour
If you’re a high school or college student that’s fine, but no grown adult who is working at Nordstrom as their primary full time job should be working for $12-$13 an hour, that’s ridiculous.
Never accept a pay cut, I repeat never accept a pay cut
I am a former Nordstrom manager, never ever take a pay cut, unless you are absolutely desperate, and even then try your hardest to find a new job. The worse thing you can do in a job market is work for reduced earnings, because it will come back to... — read more
Bankruptcy after this month
I heard its true, they don't have enough cash to pay employees and will declare bankruptcy. Then they will shut down all the full line stores and focus just online and Rack stores. Is that true?
Nordstrom Freehold Tribute

Is this even legal?
How can a company that boasts about being “family” just throw their very loyal and hardworking employees onto the street with hardly any notice? Then they are denying people their unemployment claims. I regret the decision to ever work there. Is... — read more
How many have been laid off so far?
And how many more are they planning to cut? I know last month they cut more than 6,000 people. That's in just one month! And we know there have already been some layoffs this month and they are planning to have more. I think we are seeing the last... — read more

Ghosted
If any of you think you will get a penny in being laid off because the company is BROKE it is NOT happening. Nordstrom is making deals with the devil to get away with so much. SAD 😢
Nordstrom is so BANKRUPT
Not paying their leases (50%) by bullying and treating their laid off 6,000 employees like c-ap. Nordstrom family, you are OVER.

I’m a long time employee. I got laid off a month ago. I’ve been ghosted. I’m BROKE. I hope this company goes down in flames because they have left so many people Homeless and without a job. Bye Nordstrom! Who cares about your materialistic and... — read more

Nordstrom sink or swim in the next six months
It looks like the next six months decide if Nordstrom continues as a going concern. I've already discussed that all of Nordstrom's cash-on-hand at the moment is borrowed, and that it is uncertain whether any additional debt will be offered in the... — read more

Any recommendations on who is really hiring and actually engaging with their applicants? I highly suggest everyone using LinkedIn premium and paying the extra money. Will be helpful!
Store visits
How have your store visits been if you’ve been to Nordstrom? How do you think we did with safety precautions compared to other retailers ?
Macy’s restructure and Nordstrom press release ?
Macy’s is cutting 4K jobs and it’s everywhere on the news. I checked their lay-off site and it’s a blood bath. How come Nordstrom cuts haven’t been announced publicly ? Isn’t that weird ? I wish the public would know what is really going on with... — read more
