Decline PTO for no reason?

Has anyone else had this happen? And when I asked when I could use it, they said they can't tell me that. What is really going on here?

Managers are not managers anymore

I feel bad for these managers who are now just basically working as “packers” and “shippers” if that’s not a sign something is terribly wrong, nothing is.

Furloughs

I heard that furloughed employees are being contacted and being told that they are still employed but they most likely won't get any hours. There are no hours to give them. Can anyone confirm this?

Online Shoppers

Management, Loss Prevention, and Visual are mostly online shoppers now. They are able to tend to their titled positions/duties very little.

Extending hours Again!

Can it be that bad. They are extending hours again. So some furloughs should be called back. Business must not be that bad.

It's Bad

Hour cuts. Visits. No staff to put out freight. Messy store. No staff to clean it or prepare for said visits. But of course it has to be perfect. Not even enough hours to run the store properly. And it's hot. Very hot. When will it end? Oh and... — read more

28 hours for full time?

For goodness sake, if full time is only 28 hours I would see that as Belk nearing the end of its life as a department store

Hour Cuts

Our employee hours are still cut. Full timers are averaging 28 hours or less per week. Most part timers that were called back are getting zero. Schedules are altered after being made with hours cut. Sometimes we are called the morning of and asked... — read more 

Called back

I have been furloughed since March and I got called back today and I start tomorrow. I have been sad reading here and I wanted you all to know this is 100% legit!

Does belk sell email’s and phone numbers?

If email capture is so important, why not have a kiosk at the front of the store where a customer can enter their email or phone number themselves if the wish to? Why does it keep asking for the same email over and over for the same customers?

Read all the negative comments on Facebook

The person who said they feel it’s just a “few” employees who write negatively on this page should just go on the Facebook page and read all the negative comments from customers, that’s a REAL eye opener!!!! And these are just customers who order a... — read more

Furloughed Assiciates

Are they having conservations with furloughed associates? I heard they were supposed to start calling soon.

Toxic Work Enviornment

can you sue belk for creating a toxic, unsafe (not practicing social distancing) and in some stores dangerous work environment ? If so, we should form a class action lawsuit

REFUSE to work thanksgiving, CALL OUT!

if belk cuts holiday pay for thanksgiving and keeps the store open, all associates and managers MUST protest, call out sick, stage a walk out, do something!!!!!! Don’t let these greedy b–tards take time away from your family!!

Lisa Harper Bonus

So, a very good source said even though all this mess, cutting pay, store hours, etc.. Lisa Harper will get a bonus of over $500,000... wtf?

Belk is a mirror image of Toys R Us

Before Toys R Us went bust, it was operated the same as belk. Managers had pay cuts, stock was low, and they were telling everyone that nothing was wrong. I worked there for 5 yrs.

Kool-Aid...

There are those that drink the Belk Kool-Aid and those that don't. It is wise to know what's in the Kool-Aid before you drink it.
