How are company sales overall? Does anyone thing Belk will be around past 2021? There are rumors of chapter 7 and total liquidation as early as October 2021. Any thoughts or "inside" info?

Does this mean Nir Patel will be visiting Belk store anytime soon?
Going out of business is soon to follow.
They should at least increase the pay, or give a bonus to the dedicated associates who are so working hard, and staying until the end.
Completely agree with Miss Kim Rogers! Yet these clowns Amy B and Charlotte O come into the stores and drag us bc Kim Rogers tees aren’t sized, and that decreases conversion... Or, hmmm your swim presentation isn’t elegant enough, make it more “beach shop.”
not hiring full time, forcing employees to do jobs of two or three people, taking registers out, blocking off selling space in some stores, lack of brand name merchandise, elimination of center core cosmetics brands, reduction in new store manager starting salary compared to what it was in the past, elimination of "pacesetters/consultants" for new "best of belk", constant turnover at corporate office, poor online reviews, scattershot merchandise with Ross, Dollar General, or Stein Mart tags, a distant/aloof executive team, no transparancy/keeping secrets/lying to employees, no loss prevention associates, allowing favoristim/hiring of friends and family, allowing some associates and managers to work only day shifts while making others work night or closing shifts, deny PTO for no reason, allowing associates to be harassed or intimidated by disrespectiful customers, writing some assocaiates up while allowing others to do the same thing with no consequences, rampant theft from customers. All these point to one thing.....THE END!!
Belk is trying sell as much merchandise as they can, use few associates to do more work, and then close.
