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 

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

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?

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 

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 

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 

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 

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?

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 

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 

Does anyone know why we are no longer notified when a new case of Covid is found in store. Past two weeks 223 hit bad and no notifications?

How’s your anniversary sale doing? *. *. * Crickets chirping.

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 ?

And, if down (as I suspect), do you think there will be layoffs. Thoughts??????

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 

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 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?

Pretty dead in Seattle...

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 

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 

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 

What a laugh. A freakin' laugh!!

Did I remember correctly that they only had hiring events for the holidays for seasonals. If they're having a hiring event now they must be really desperate for people like Macy's having a hiring event every month LOL.

Most of the people applying here now are the ones who have no other options. If even those who have no other options stay here for less than a month, then the situation is really worrying. It is not unusual that the new hire does not appear after... —  read more 

I’d say especially if your market has too many stores for the area, watch for a closure. Boston, for example has far too many full line locations and they cannibalize each other’s sales. I could see them closing Northshore as its sales are absolutely... —  read more 

Promoting from within... what a joke!! Those workers that are truly deserving are shuffled to the back of the line, so a new hire that fits their ethic profile is hired... and leaves in 10 days. What a joke!

Why is order fulfillment so pokey in the web store? Site looks good, I noticed recent changes, Nordstrom is not letting the carpets get too worn, and the LAF are good. So I ordered something, something nice. Right away I get a confirmation... —  read more 

Sometimes I wonder if they are even aware that especially now, when we have huge inflation, no one wants to work to burnout levels for such a small pay. The only reason I'm still here is because I still haven't received another offer. The irony... —  read more 

Somebody mentioned potential layoffs after the quarterly results. Since the results were good (better than expected), should we assume that the plans for layoffs were nixed?

It would be great if someone also took a few coworkers with him / her after some time has passed since leaving this company. Admittedly, I don't know anyone who did that here. I don't even know what's Nordstrom's policy regarding this?

I don't have time to go to the bathroom because it's constantly a "go, go, go." We don't have enough people and management isn't even trying to do something about it. Did they secretly give up and are just seeing how long they can last with as many... —  read more 

Dangerous time for JWN FTEs, the dead time after the holidays. Projects and teams can still be regrouped and remotivated by summer.

Anyone's guess how long after Q4 results are announced?

Can’t take it anymore.

Just got a letter about NPG week and how as a valued ex-employee I'm still eligible for 40% off NPG items... uh, no thanks.

Among my coworkers, the most experienced is a colleague who has been with this company for about 10 years. Here I read the post of someone who says that he has been at Nordstrom even longer than that, 20 years. WOW! I am speechless. How is... —  read more
