Thread regarding Belk layoffs

This site has been very helpful, giving us information, and updates, that we cant get from our managers.
The reason some of us vent, is because managers, and corporate did not listen, or want to hear our complaints or suggestions.
Maybe if they would have, things might have been different or improved for us, and the store.
Who deals with the customer one on one? The associate.
And who would know what the customer wants? The associate.

Honestly retail is not all the same . Thank God I left this company and got a retail job that cares about it’s associates . My curse turned into a blessing .

The coupon never works!!

How do you know people aren't brushing up their resumes, weighing their options, etc. Does that mean we cannot vent? Yeah, there's a lot of help wanted ads and signs out there, but the road doesn't always lead to an instant job. WIll it cover my cost of living? Benefits? Hours? Distance? I've been looking on and off for a while now. The pandemic threw a wrench in that for a minute, but now I'm back to the hunt.
Having said all of that, in an ideal world, yes, this forum should just be about layoffs and such, but for now it's all we have. If anyone is interested in starting a community for Belk employees on reddit or some other site, I'm down with it.

Once again telling me how I will feel. I personally do not do the pity party route of why me. And nobody really wants advice that they have not asked for.

No one is telling you what to do- just giving advice from those who’ve been there. In the end you’ll be wondering why me?

Isn't it so easy to tell others what to do without knowing anything about them. Which makes your 2 cents worth just about nothing. People can say whatever they want. And the ones governing the site will decide what appropriate to post.

In other words- you don’t want to be the one holding the cards.

Agreed. This forum should be about factual or rumors regarding Belk employment. Aka layoffs, removing positions, hiring, closings. Not.... being discriminated because you wore jeans, or Sycko buying cruise ships. Jobs are hiring people!!! Start applying. Just my $.02 cents. Hope the coupon works ;)!
