Rumor has it that Michael Kors and Brahmin will be pulling out of Belk sometime this year. Belk has lost almost all of its “better brand” vendors.

In 2009, Belk had approx 23,000 workers, now it only has about 9,000 company wide. A huge drop in workforce.

Interesting you go on LINKDIN and see fantastic posts trend , vendor , or fashion statement . I also see many post of high potential development and how the senior management of Belk is promoting young talent . Everyone is excited and giving high... —  read more 

If yes, who will be affected the most? Retail numbers are already droping both here and @ competitors.

Do any of you find yourself going to management several times for the same issue and nothing ever happens? Scheduling issues? We have 3 HR people and nothing gets fixed.

I am very unhappy with the workplace transparency here. Most companies are not transparent, but I'm tired of constantly guessing what's going on and listening to rumors. Or perhaps I expect too much from management when it comes to sharing... —  read more 

Belk has long been a miserable place to work. I used to be worried about losing my job here, but now it has become totally irrelevant what will happen next here because there are definitely much better ways to make a living. I guess there are still... —  read more

Hey, no worries about Kohls stealing Belk's thunder inside Sycko. Facts of the matter there was no way Sycko had the kind of money being put up for Kohls. There was a point, before the Macy's infatuation, when anyone from Kohl's was gold for Belk. ... —  read more

Belk Currently has 22 RVP's, rumor has it they are trying to cut that. Will RVP's given raise with more stores added to region?

I can only speak for the store where I work, although I guess it’s not much different in other stores either. Colleagues despise the person who is very obviously the manager’s favorite and they keep complaining about favoritism, but at the same... —  read more 

big switch in RVPs moving around> raises, moving expenses, and more bullying of associates to prove the RVP is important

Why are we open til 9 on Memorial Day we should close at 6 so that the associates can spend the evening with their families.

So did anyone just see the post on Don Hendricks abruptly leaving Belk about hour ago? And now it’s gone. Just curious if I imagined it. Lol!

does anyone know what the belk excel line actually does in the form of actions? What are the steps after someone were to call the excel line?

The only thing the “managers” know how to do is to sit in the office and talk trash about their employees!!! asleep behind the wheel if I must

Saw a lot of employees working hard and their store looked good. Hope they don’t have a nightmare SM. it’s nice to see some employees like many on this board that still try and care.

When something goes wrong in our store, the manager points a blame on everyone except those who are really responsible for it. Does this happen in your store as well? I’m really tired of getting blamed for things that aren’t my fault. My impression... —  read more

Associates were told this morning that we are expected to get 3 credits a day.....I can’t stop laughing....maybe Mr Patel didn’t want to get his 3 credits every day LOL

Managers were in closed door meeting yesterday and today. Usually a closed door meeting is a sign of trouble.

Don’t spend your precious time beating on the wall and hope to transform it to the door! It is too late now to save Belk with all shake up from the top executive managements and all Belk CEOs are leaving the sinking ship now. Belk destiny and futures... —  read more

GameStop has appointed Nir Patel it's new C.E.O.

she has not responded to any media inquiries, nor has she answered her phone or email.

What do you want to bet that in the near future, Don Hendricks exits Belk? I bet it's coming soon.

Sycamore is getting ready to unload Belk, by liquidation or some other way. They are getting their ducks in a row. trust and believe.

lisa harper exits belk to go to torrid where she came from the d.c. is closed down patel quits belk suddenly belk tries to keep this from the workers other than managers

Belk has lots of employees living paycheck to paycheck. It's just the hard, cold truth. Please everyone have an exit plan, this company is literally holding on by a thread.
