So a 50% pay cut is MUCH different for an executive earning $700,000 or more a year, than a poor manager or STM making $45,000/year. You can still live high on the hog with $350,000

This is just kind of gossip I guess, but two of my friends who work at corporate told me that rumors are going around that they are going to clean house with the bigwigs, the board of directors want a Lisa Harper and her liberal cronies at corporate... — read more 

I give this another two weeks at most and then it’s salary cuts (for managers). Layoffs for low level STM positions, and possibly the introduction of “multi store managers” where a manager is over two stores for the same pay, a good way discount... — read more 

Everyone can file for unemployment, and Belk is gonna get money from stimulus. Then when all this ends, they hire employees back,

They have decided to shorten the store hours this week from 12:00 pm to 6:00pm. Full-time workers are getting 23 hours and partimers 3 hours a week. I'm worried.

Belk has the ability to be great again if given proper leadership, but the bloated salaries of the executives and upper management bleed the company dry, most store workers work for very little, its the bigwigs who drain the company dry.

Belk stores across the south have lay off today, the positions were clerks, operations, HR, and housekeeping, most under $15 an hour, so so sad for the ones who lost jobs.

i shop the Belk in Cape Coral, they have nobody on the floor, no clerk or sales person of any kind, the cosmetics girls usually are ringing people up. I thought they were fixing to go out of business it was so understaffed.

Sycamore has done the same things to other companies Then they close them. Sleazy business tactics that make the executives richer and leave the hard working employees out in the dust.

When will this stop? Is there a number they are aiming for? Are we anywhere near it?
