You lay off good solid American workers to "save" money by outsourcing. The funny thing about that is Fossil is no longer an "authenic" or " American" company. Fossil minus as well sell all their merchandise in the dollar store because that's where... — read more

For the wonderful work on our website. It has not been working for a few days, but that's OK, losing a few million in sales is just a chump change for what you bill us. Oh, and your folks are such good communicators, maybe not in English, but man... — read more 

Must be because all the good people were let go

I think everyone should be posting about Fossil on their Facebook, Twitter and social media sites; Then the truth of the new leadership and how un- American and "authentic" Fossil is will be let out.

The IT layoffs are not related or have anything to do with the 8% growth that Fossil had posted for the 2014 year. IT layoffs are directly connected to Ed Robben and Robert Shaffer, both of these gentlemen came from JC Penny's and outsourced the IT... — read more 

Yesterday I was told that my position is eliminated. They keep telling me it has nothing to do with my performance. My team mate of the same position told me he is safe and can stay in the company. Is this discrimination?

Here's some irony for you . . . from a D Magazine article in 2010. "In an era when outsourcing is a default business strategy, Fossil recruits its own talent, nurtures it, invests in it. The benefits? More than 20 years of consecutive profits in an... — read more

After being laid off a few times I start to think maybe I don't need anymore watches.

Get ready because this situation is about to get worse. Fossil are going to outsource. Managers aren't safe, either. When an entire team gets outsourced and there is nobody left to manage, supervisors are going to get terminated. Get your resume... — read more 

It's been a long strange road for Fossil and I feel like things have finally caught up with them. I love the people at Fossil and loved serving them. But leadership has had a consistent habit over the past few years of trying to push through changes... — read more 

Yesterday some of us learned that Fossil will sell our jobs to Infosys, an outsourcing company headquartered in in Bangalore, India. I think this is likely true. More than just another unsubstantiated rumor. I googled Infosys and the first hit was an... — read more

Everyone should cash out any stock you have in Fossil asap. Layoffs on top of the fact that their handbags and wallets are over priced and fall apart means the company is done. Walk into any goodwill store and you will see rows and rows of fossil... — read more

Mark my words - we are missing the smart watch wave big time, w/in next 12 months we'll feel this impact in a major way, I know our numbers are soft, but they will become horrible very soon. We are currently a perfect target for a private equity firm... — read more 

Rumors are flying about severance packages. 6 months is not believeable..it's unheard of anymore. Too much flamboyant growth......missing the boat on the revolution of the technology of watches too......wouldn't be surprised if they are sold.

It's very sad how Fossil has lost their way. While they brilliantly acquired brands to fill all niches of the fashion watch market and expanded internationally, they totally lost sight of their core brand. A Fossil customer doesn't buy a $300+... — read more
