SC Withering Away
Our building has no GM, no HRBP, half our AMs and OMs are out at any given time. Processors all asked to take voluntary leave and the warehouse is running on a skeleton crew. Once 7 days per week, now closed on weekends "temporarily" but somehow... — read more

How likely is that there will be Nordstrom layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?
Where’s Christmas?
I have never seen such a small footprint of Christmas merchandise, it seems like it was an afterthought/hassle. Baaaa humbug!
Commission pay
Do you believe you are being paid for all your sales. Since the system crash and we lost the ability to keep track of our sales Seems sales are not matching what I’ve been selling and refunds OMG have more than doubled!
Restructuring at the rack store
What have you heard? I have not heard much of it. It seems to be a hush hush.. Some employees are forced to switch department or welcomed to leave their job.

IT layoffs
Heard from several people that received notice of reductions in IT today. Don't know the total number.
I’m going to say it!
Okay with everything thing going wrong with Nordstrom, my big clients started to call us Rosstrom. Buying cheap brands that no one knows or wants taking out established brands and so many designers out of stores for Nordstrom branded merchandise... — read more
Experiences on the job market?
My experiences are not positive at all. I'm unsuccessfully trying to find something new and I'm already getting a little worried about how long I'll have to wait to get an offer. I think my age is the problem.
JWN-Swallows the “Poison Pill” but who’s going to end this madness?
Nordstrom has adopted a “poison pill” to prevent investors from amassing 10% or more of its shares. This measure taken on the heels of Liverpool the Mexican retailer which recently grabbed 9.9% stake in the company! Now Liverpool is #2 in percentage... — read more
Layoffs at Cedar Rapids
Fortunately, I quit a few months ago. I wish luck to all who are affected to find new jobs as soon as possible. When I saw in the media that 231 people will be cut... that's scary! I don't think it will be any less stressful even for those who... — read more

Paychecks are messed up
So what’s Nordstrom going to do to correct our pay? People have bills to pay and they expect us to make appointments for triple points for what $15 an hour?
System crash and payroll
With the system crash and sales updates are not happening how are we going to get paid? I know managers can’t say anything but our store manager is back talking about the situation making the stores employees so nervous. If they don’t officially say... — read more
Site down? Layoffs soon?
I thought Nordstrom had e-commerce figured out by now. I was just headed over to buy something nice. This stuff should be highly-available. “Our site hit a snag, but we're fixing it Please try again in a little while. In the meantime, you can... — read more
Still cutting hours?
It seems like our department is so short staffed since the great anniversary sale… NOT. Some departments seem to be normal in hours, ours are kept to bear minimum then minus 2 shifts. Are other people feeling the crunch? Remember in handbook we are... — read more
Q2 earnings
Stock briefly had a 19-handle AH. Earnings decent, forward guidance not so much. The problem is, the Swedes are honest businessmen, investing in their stores, not financial engineering. Is everyone back in the office? Anyone? Layoffs over Zoom? — read more
What is going on with supply chain?
Why are we getting thanksgiving and Christmas products already? And they’re awful a lot!!! Who is gonna buy them? What is going on? Are we gonna get more closer to the holidays? Is it just happened at the rack?
"Do as I say"
It is very likely that no one here has heard from their manager something like "Let's talk about your progress" or "I want you to know that I have total confidence in you", but I am almost sure that everyone has heard many times "Do as I say... — read more
Loving the new approach
So Anniversary sucked. The buyers suck and now they are threatening sales staff if they don’t produce they will become hourly cashiers. Hello we are smart enough to know corporate doesn’t budget anymore for cashiers so stop threatening us. Start... — read more

Nordstrom follows Bed Bath and Beyond
Nordstrom explores shutting down the air conditioning to save utility costs. At least until employees and customers revolt and OSHA shows up. Who is making or thinking about making those asinine decisions ?

How will our quarterly results be?
And, if down (as I suspect), do you think there will be layoffs. Thoughts??????
Not a friendly place to work
If you dare disagree with the herd you will be silenced or canceled. The best thing to do is to keep quiet and nod your head affirmatively until you can find a way to get out of here. I can't claim that this is true for all locations, but it sure is... — read more
Just got a new job after a 'career' at Nordstrom
And holy cr-p is it a nice feeling to be appreciated for a change! I had forgotten what it feels like and it feels good! If you're not one of the as----e there you should really get out... now.
I thought 2022 would be much better
I really thought that after the worst period of the pandemic, things would get much better here. I guess I had too high of expectations and now I am disappointed. Anyone else who expected much more from 2022 in Nordstrom?
Is your store busy?
Pretty dead in Seattle...
Nordstrom won’t move from Oak Park Mall to Country Club Plaza
I always was in a bit of disbelief, (after closing 16 stores in 2020 and the trajectory of online sales) Nordstrom was going to open a new full-line store (even if it was only a relocation). I understand the reason to an extent, the store is oak park... — read more
Are you helping new hires?
I feel sorry for the new hires because they seem lost. Some of them have the will to work, but they do not have enough instructions on how and what to do. I always try to help them, although I find it difficult to find time for it since I am... — read more
I'm not motivated to work hard
Working here used to mean good pay, solid benefits, and proper scheduling. None of those three things are still true, yet I'm expected to work as hard if not harder? Why would I? Give me proper pay, bring back the benefits you took away from us, and... — read more
