Thread regarding Nordstrom layoffs

I’m happy to see some of the awful leadership that has been let go. Goodbye awful beauty regional “manager” that only spoke to the associates that were doing well, and never wanted to empower and motivate the ones that needed it. Glad to see people like her go. Southern California beauty associates will not miss you!

I am very sorry to hear about all of the layoffs. I was laid off after 12 years. I wish everyone good luck.

My wife was laid off after 19 years.

Are H1B or work visa people impacted? Mama mia

C level is CEO, CFO, COO etc.

@ Hihi. Company wide. The percentage of cuts depend on what area. The only level exempt is the C level.

un minuto. perché lo stanno facendo? devo mantenere il visto di lavoro

I got my notice yesterday. Corporate campus.

Are layoffs occurring or paid leave again? I didn’t see any update on WARN for Nordstrom. I am on vacation in Mexico. Tell me the truth

No, you just eat the architects. They are good for something.

i gave them my first option cause i had worked for so long. at a software company cause iM GoOd aT CoDiNg

Cut 80% tech and outsource to EPAM or parts of Africa - labor cost is cheap. Way to save money. TPM - cut the lot. PM - cut anything above senior. Architects - reinterview them.

i worked for almost 9 years. did a coding bootcamp and was still denied to move up. glad i left.

My department had a 30% layoff quota.

Tech is still hiring. Go do some coding course or sign up for code boot camp. We are looking for right talent. Will give you a sign on bonus.

Any new updates that people can share on specifics? Does any know what is happening with buyers and buy planners in NMG?

I left a couple weeks ago knowing this would happen. Nordstrom, and luxury retail in general, is a sinking ship. Even people who were spared this lay-off probably won’t survive the next round or the round after that. It’s not going to get better.

Good news is that there’s tons of places hiring FTEs in Seattle right now that pay better than Nordstrom and aren’t in a dying industry. Jump ship now and watch the dumpster fire from a distance.

Oh my. TPMs were useless back when I was there. And they stuck with this model?

Once we almost stumbled upon an effective approach to developing software and deploying systems at old Nordstrom, but other teams smelled a threat to their little fiefdoms, and they quickly ganged up to quash it. We tried.

If the headcount is as high as suggested on Blind, 50%+ staff cuts and a harsh reorg are in order.

Are the useless TPMs still there?

If you have the right skills, you will stay on. Drop me an email.

Let the fat just fall off.

Special bonus == tech still looting the company

Tech has a special bonus coming in July or Aug. This could be for some restricted group of folks to retain them. Varies from 10-40%.

Are these layoffs in stores or at corporate?

Yo, what’s with all the LP jobs listed? Complete rebuild of this group?

Technology is hiring and giving pay hikes. What a sh–hole

Technology hit yet?

Half of my team got cut, the remaining staff all got pay cuts :(

Many of the jobs not being eliminated are having the salaries reduced .

Many have jobs being eliminated as a form of payback by bosses. Their jobs will be reinstated in a couple of months but with outsides or as a reward to insiders.

I got the news this morning. 20% of my team is leaving

Take a salary cut and we will all have jobs. Sign the petition.

No one’s getting laid off. Don’t spread rumors
