Feeling bored at NM?
Every day here is either super boring or unnecessarily stressful. But it’s mostly boring. There is no middle.
Thank you to the NMG Women who are no longer here!
I know it’s taboo to mention any of our past with our current regime. But we brush over so much of our history when we proudly mention Carrie Neiman and then no other female leaders. There were many people in between and I want to take the end of... — read more
Beverly Hills employees from late 90s-early 2000s?
Anyone on here work at NM in Beverly Hills in late 90s, early 2000s? Victor, Katrina, and Claire were in Loro Piana and Brioni departments back then? Anyone know what happened to them? I left in 2002 and lost touch with them -I can’t believe it’s... — read more
Start promoting from within!
How about we start promoting from within? How about we start rewarding employees who give it their all each day and provide them with an incentive to continue giving it their all? Right now, with the pay as it is and the overall lousy treatment... — read more
Working here is miserable
The only reason I'm still here is because I desperately need a job. I got a great offer but in the end I couldn't accept it because it required me to move so I stayed here for a while longer. I don't think I'll be very selective anymore when I go... — read more
Embaressing
Just saw on Facebook Neiman Marcus sucks how CNN business actually featured our our corrupt CEO.. Hes now trying to claim they didnt need to go bankrupt but it was strategic.. what a joke.. i personally knew vendors cheated by them.. why do you think... — read more
What is work-life balance here like?
In my case, when I have time to dedicate to my private things, I am usually too tired from work. Over the past few months I’ve been getting more and more work. At first I thought it was just a phase and that it would pass, but it's getting worse... — read more
Falling apart
The last of the old regime (Willis) left the company. Willis is a kind benevolent leader. One must wonder why all the “good people” keep leaving.
Another one bites the dust
The only African American female leader left at the company resigned today.
Renaissance Bonus
Pay out is December 31st. I wonder how many people will exit after that day?
I don’t like WFH
I seem to be one of the few who doesn’t like WFH. Of course, this also has its advantages, but for me WFH primarily means more work overload and no work- life balance. I feel like I’m working all day. Perhaps WFH just isn’t a good solution for... — read more
Working from home = Working from wherever the CEO wants to work from! No wonder!
According to the NY Post Van Raemdonck, who has a home in Dallas, lives six weeks out of the year in Europe and six weeks from his home in the Hamptons as well as an apartment in New York City, according to the anonymous post.
Full of…you know what
Take the blinders off folks: Diversity - only if they are women and g-ys (forget about Blacks & Hispanics, if you’re of those races you’ll never be promoted to executive level & when you leave no one will care) Legal department- watch as the... — read more
NY Post is the only reliable place for truth. Can the board read the room and get a new CEO?

New editorial wet kiss
Womens wear daily gave a long article about the company ignoring all their trashy behavior .They wouldnt even put a journalist name behind it..What a pathetic excuse of a rag masquerading as journalism. They stuck us with a huge health bill during... — read more
Diversity at NMG- laughable.
Another white woman leading ESG and Belonging! An Asian brought in to lead legal over an African American.
I’ve been seeing this often
Little by little the experienced people that work in my location are being harassed or mistreated into quitting. After a week or two we end up hiring someone younger who has never worked retail before and the time/money it takes to train them is... — read more
The more you work, the more work you get?
I guess they noticed that I do my job conscientiously and that I care about keeping this job (at least for a while), so now they are trying their best to squeeze me to the maximum. The more I work, the more work I get. On the other hand, that’s why... — read more
Time to make a stand!
While other department stores, pay their draw vs commission associates an non productive hours, Neiman’s at this time does not. Even though they lost a 5 million dollar settlement in California 2019. Talking to some old time associates, they will... — read more
More bad publicity
The robbery at San Fran made most of the national news and CNN too..It also stirred up many who now say the companies wading into politics arena was unacceptable.That stores are not safe and Neiman has failed to adress it . Stores are still most of... — read more
Status of the GC/CLO role?
Noticed articles announcing new female leaders. What’s the word with Tracy’s old position?
No more hard work
The more you work you do, the more work you get and the less you are valued? Such is at least my experience here. I have achieved nothing by working hard, except that I feel quite naive and taken advantage of, as I see that slackers are much better... — read more
Managers
I have been in retail more years than I should! My question is with all the technology we have in 2021, what the heck are managers doing in their office with so call reports, meetings and not helping associates with customer complaints. Back in... — read more
Why so much micromanagement?
People who do not know how to motivate, inspire and lead their employees, apply micromanagement! I have no other explanation. All I know is that it has become unbearable. I have been working here for a long time, I consider myself a hard worker and... — read more
The main reasons for this company's bad reputation?
I also noticed that we have a very bad reputation in the retail community. Someone has already mentioned this here in one of the posts. Do you think the biggest reason is bankruptcy or are there many other reasons? Somehow it seems to me that even... — read more
Giving notice
Having endured a lot here, it would be very stupid to leave an ugly impression in the end. I plan to give notice by the end of this week, so I'm wondering how others did it? Did you explain the reason for your departure? I've heard some stories... — read more
What’s everyone’s take?
Curious about what everyone thinks needs to change to right the direction we are headed towards? Personally, I think we need new management that is able to think long term and to plan accordingly towards those goals. Closings and cuts can only affect... — read more
Keep building customer base
I saw a post here that I don't really agree with except the part that said The average age of customers gets older every year. Time to move on and find a new customer. I agree but is this realistic to expect? Does this company have any capacity... — read more
Diversity and Belonging at NMG

"Yes" culture
Now it is enough just to be a brown noser and a “yes person” and up you go. I know that it’s not just characteristic of this company, I’ve worked before in a company where thinking with your head wasn’t much appreciated either. Still, it seems to me... — read more

How much do you trust our leaders?
I would trust them, if only they proved that they really are leaders. I don’t consider them leaders at all and I don’t trust them. Whatever they say, I have no confidence in them. I don't know why they deserve to be trusted at all??? If I were in... — read more
