Thread regarding Belk layoffs

There is no way this person is a store manager.

We had closed door meetings about attrition at 0458 Crabtree

An employee should not have to speak up as a result of being overworked or forced to do something they were not hired to do. That statement alone shows whoever is writing this is aware of what’s going on.

Are you serious right now?

Sounds like you are a shill.

Store manager here - not all of us are the same.

1. We don't just cut hours of existing employees. We cut hours from employees who aren't meeting metrics. We hire during the holidays because we're allotted more hours, just as every other retailer does during Q4.
2. We've always had key holders. They're not replacing salaried managers.
3. Literally no new hire makes more than a seasoned employee. If a sales associate is hired, they're hired at the new starting rate of pay. Seasoned associates make more than that.
4. If the Store Manager is working shorter shifts than anyone else, or not working their fair share of nights or weekends, then it needs to be reported. I can (almost) guarantee that their RVP isn't aware of this.
5. "Allowing new hires days off while declining full time/older employees time off requests" - this goes back to the Store Manager. I'm sorry if you've had that experience, but that's not how it should be. I haven't personally witnessed this.
6. "Forcing older employees to work closing shifts" - as I stated earlier, everyone has to be fair. If an associate has open availability, and we need them to close, then they'll be scheduled to close.
7. If an employee is feeling "forced" to do something they feel is out of their scope, then they need to speak up.

Don’t forget store managers not closing or working weekends, big sales, etc... something unheard of in any other retail company.

That is definately going on in my store but the problem is all the good associates are dropping like flies while the worst are staying. And they are getting away with whatever they want. Don't you have enough money yet Sycamore? Why don't you just put us all out of our misery. I don't know of anyone that's happy in the store except a couple of the greedy ones.

Here is a suggestion for Belk CEO Don Hendricks to solve and improve and eliminate so much of attrition at Belk. Instead of hiring 6000 workers Belk wishful thinking for this Christmas holiday 2022, please tell us you need to hire 11000 cheap Belk workers because Meta or Facebook company just this Wednesday announced a massive layoff about 11000 technical support people from Silicon Valley to cut cost for revenue and slow sales at Facebook company. This is a smart decision for all Belk store managers to help out any job requiring three people to work! Yeah right!

Store manager here
Belk wants to eliminate anyone who does not want to do the job of three people
Unfortunately, that is almost everybody so they have to come up with a new strategy

Once you see something like this happening in any company, get your resume ready and get out, this is a last ditch effort for a company to save money before going under. This is what desperate companies do.

now attrition is so obvious.
they are not even trying to hide it.
