Thread regarding Belk layoffs

Director of eCommerce Digital Experience & Site Operations has now left Belk

A key position heading into the holidays...now vacant. Conrad was formerly in charge of E-Comm for The Limited.

Those of you mentioning new holiday decorations would probably also be complaining about old holiday decorations.

Tis the season to be crabby!

Stay safe, be well.

So focus is 100% on STH. Margins are about 10-15% less than in-store sales, even before counting returns. Walmart can afford it, not smaller companies. Belk lost interest to customers in stores (long lines, no recovery, no merchandising, no visual, no markdowns) and press them to shop online by offering deeper discounts. Just picking through the mess. Is Belk not able to balance up both ways or purposely destroying in-store business?

Someone claiming Conrad was "fired".
So he goes from a broke, dying, low volume retailer to a $20 billion plus high flying car corporation.
Yeah...fired...that sounds 'bout right. Lol.

Betcha many of you would love to find yourself in such a situation as his.

We don't need no stink'n e-commerce guys...we have belk.com! Lol.

To this day the complaints about the on line site and service (lack of) are astounding to read.

Remember the first forays and glowing comments about engaging with the "new future"... e-commerce... as far back as 2000??? during meetings in Raleigh. 20 years and still a mess.

The Belk boys were enamoured with "consultants"...always bringing in outside experts! Think we had 3 or 4 reincarnations of rock the dock...then the infatuation with black belt management...then the outsourcing of maintenance... then THE CLOUD....and then and then and then....till they sold out, took the money and ran...

  1. ..we're gonna get a new register system!
