I’m waiting for this to happen at Belk….
Two months before all Toys R Us were liquidated, Toys R us execs hosted a manager engagement meeting and they spent a whole day telling us how good we were doing, people got phony awards, everything was supposedly going great….Two months later all stores closed for good. I SEE SIMILARITIES IN Belk’s techniques, no transparency, bogus awards, odd merchandise assortment, and the strangest c suite leadership I’ve ever seen in 34 years in retail . IM JUST WAITING FOR THEM TO HAVE A BIG SHINDIG TELLING US HOW GREAT WE ARE DOING…cut to a month or two later it’s liquidation time at all stores…..oh and for millennials reading this a shindig is a party.
