It's Third Quarter. Almost everyone one of the companies on Moody's list for high risk of bankruptcy by the end of the year have now filed for bankruptcy. Except Belk. How is it still hanging on? It will have to file soon, perhaps this month. ... — read more 

For those if us still on furlough our unemployment ends soon. Is the company going to extend unemployment ?

Our store is changing hours to 10-7 this week. Employee hour cuts are still in effect. We have long lines, angry customers, stressed associates, and no AC. Belk is practically giving away the store with all the discounts. The store is a wreck... — read more 

We are attracting the worst customer base in retail, low budget customers who think they are owed everything, very demanding but they have no money to spend. the worst of the worst.

we Just lost two STM’s, one last week and one this week, no two week notice. This is bad!!

Our Store has no a/c. Help! It was 80 degrees

I'm curious as to when fitting rooms will be opened. If they are opened will staffing increase to handle the extra sanitizing, etc.,.?

As a retired store manager/regional pre and post partner consolidation days I can say that it apparently appears not much has changed. Still the same neglected stores, unappreciated associates and management running like rats to hide the truths... — read more

In an article published yesterday by USA today, JC Penny attorney Joshua Sussberg harshly criticized the New York Post article about the Sycamore buyout, saying it is "ill informed". According to Sussberg, the company is seeking to sell and warned... — read more

I get that no one is getting a raise this year, but what is the reason behind not administering any reviews?

JCP owns 1.5 billion dollars of real estate, which is several hundred stores. Most of these will be liquidated. Belk and Sycamore will get instant revenue from selling these stores, I believe this is the "lifeboat for Belk" Sycamore was referring... — read more 

she does not want any contact with store level people.

I believe this purchase of JCP is a smokescreen for for something nefarious.

So ft nonmanagerial employees only get 28 or 27 hours for next week🤯🤯. Can we file unemployment for the decrease or not? This is insane

And look where they are today.

Most JCP stores are located in malls. malls are a thing of the past, plain and simple, slapping the Belk name on a dying relic is not gonna help.

there is, as you all may know, a hiring freeze. Well, employees also cannot be terminated because there is nobody to take their spot. they cannot call back remaining furloughs either.

Does this sound like a business that’s gonna be here in 2021?

If you’re located in a mall store are your malls busy or do you have a lot of businesses closing?

Anyone that worked for Belk before Sycamore knows something is terribly wrong. The only thing that has not changed is the name, I’m sure that will happen eventually if the company doesn’t fold first.

dillards has an almost full staff, about 70 people in our store, and we have four LP associates plus two LP managers, full time get 39 hours, part time varies. Our stores are open 11-7, sounds like Belk is running on a skeleton crew to lower cost.

Many part time employees have not been called back to work but their employee discount still is in effect so are these part timers still employed with Belk even though no one has called them or sent them a final letter ?

Is it all stores?

Sunday open 3pm-9:12pm Monday 11am-3pm, then 3:45pm to 11:22pm Tuesday 4:13am to 8:01am Weds 6:55pm to 1:11 am Thurs 7;45 am to 8:15am Friday closed for covid 19 cleaning Saturday. Open. 24 hours with DJ and gogo dancing after 9pm Sunday... — read more 

Sales and traffic are down and Belk is desperate. Just look at some the things they have been doing: $100 gift cards for $80, 75% off fine jewelry, and cutting employee hours while extending store hours at the same time. A few new things starting... — read more 

I think if every employee stood up and said “we are mad as hell and we aren’t gonna take it anymore” and walked out things would change.

You cut hours last week and extend hours next week . What is going on ?

Associates are at stressed to the max.

Why not wait for the next schedule to go to 11-7. The employees have planned child care, other jobs, care givers to parents etc. this is a lack for of respect for the people who are actually working your stores. They have stepped in and become... — read more

The Regional Vice President Anne Quit this week. Anyone have any idea why this might have happened?

Does anyone know? some say she has been in a Belk store in almost a year.

I just heard Belk is changing their hours to 11-7 instead of 11-6. This makes no sense. We have drastic employee hour cuts, and the store is getting slower due to the Covid 19 upticks. I don't understand this company. No wonder they are so close to... — read more 

Does anyone know if the remaining furloughs are coming back ?

Belk is not hiring any new employees, stores are running on under 20 people, hours cut last week, no new stock, this company is near the end.
