Our competitors are not doing connected and staying a float.

Looks like upper management is planning for the next round of Layoffs -Red bins for cubicle move -Stock price falling -Sales falling -More stores closing Reminds us of JC Penney

More Layoffs to Come?

It looks like wearables aren't turning it around for us. Anyone think it will take time or is the writting on the wall for Fossil?

The message to all the people were laid off was that people can not get their severance package/money until they train their Indian counterpart in IT. How is that legal? Make's me sick to my stomach. There is no vision or success in that for US... — read more 

2014 layoffs were mainly in IT when they were outsourced. Planned by Ed (CIO), R. Schaffer, Kristie Copeland. They all came from JC Penny. Most of IT got outsourced to Infosys. Same thing was done when Ed was there before he got let go from JC Penny... — read more 

Sales are horrible. Expect Fossil to close more stores.

Take heart, friends. You've been released from the sinking ship. You have marketable skills and you'll land on your feet. If you're anything like me, very shortly you'll realize this was the best thing that could have happened to you. Good luck and... — read more 

Huge layoff at Fossil!!!!

Dallas Business Journal recently posted Dennis Secor's total compensation: $4.21 million, +190.11% from 2014 to 2015. He must be AMAZING!! Ranking 7th highest paid CFO/EVP in DFW.

Which departments are safe and which ones are going to go? It's obviously not going to go well for everyome, but I imagine some will fare better. Screw this, I don't like this feeling.

I needed to vent here a bit as there are many rumors and (maybe lies) about layoffs in Richardson.

Trump outlined his first 100 days and a top priority is... "he said he will direct the Department of Labor to "investigate all abuses of visa programs that undercut the American worker." S---s to be investigated in the new year Fossil doesn't it?

I swear ya'll have no faith and no idea what ya'll are talking about. Maybe, just maybe everything is on track. Fossil gets an upgrade - Fossil Group climbed 8% after receiving an upgrade from analysts at KeyBanc Capital Markets. The analyst company... — read more 

Does anyone know anything about the new chatter on more layoffs after the holidays?

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/dont-fight-losing-battle-sell-133901573.html Fossil was once a unique brand and helped build other unique brands—now the brands are simply another "me too" brand in a sea full of growing companies creating wearables... — read more 

Some of us are still vested in Fossil. Business feel that IT is so F*** Up now. Thanks Ed, Robert, Kristy, and the other exJCP crew. We need real IT people here with knowledge and experience

Unfortunately it's a little too late for that. Yesterday was my last day, and it was on my terms. It's sad because this place was really special. Please, don't sit around like ducks. You owe it to your family to be proactive. I wish you all the best! — read more 

What's next to be cut or outsourced? Anyone have any predictions on what area of the business is going away? It's clear from what I've seen that it's not going to be pretty in a few weeks.

Here's your heads up!

So when is the next round of cuts and layoffs coming? Does anyone think wearables will save us come the holiday season? I'm not holding my breath.

More rumors of layoff to come in the future? Stock price is down? Do you trust IT Upper management? Do you think Fossil is really saving any money outsourcing to Infosys and Cognizant. They can only fudge the numbers for so long...

Did Fossil pay an Excellence Bonus in March 2016? Or was it the big ZERO for the second year in a row?

Anyone know if there will be more mass layoffs this Year? Thx

Why is it authentic and genuine? Not made in America!
