Tracy's backfill is great. But, every time GVR has the opportunity to promote from within he has gone outside. Odds are he will make an external hire that he will fill great about and nobody else will. History will repeat itself again. So very sad. — read more

The Post is better than leadership in sharing information.
Snob kabob
I had a good laugh at the Neiman’s in Las Vegas when the clerk told me the Chanel handbag was $7,500 “darling” ....so snobby
Could the company have had a better strategy?
I wonder if Neiman Marcus could have handled the pandemic any better, or whether the management could've been better? I am a just a simple worker who does not know too much about business, but I think there are examples of other companies that had a... — read more
What is the situation in your store?
I am under constant stress because the situation in my store is totally demoralizing. I don't even know how it manages to stay open. Total chaos and the atmosphere means it's high time to get away from here. Everyone is frustrated. Hope the situation... — read more
What a relief!
I did the dumbest thing ever but I really couldn’t stay here anymore and I’m full of joy after quitting. I am aware that I can have a lot of problems because of this, but at one point I risked ruining my family relationships completely. I don’t... — read more
Women's History Month - it means that 8 female SVPs have left NM/GVR and have been replaced by a man.
We're celebrating Women's History month in a big way yet I look around and see Lisa, Melissa, Katie, Liz, Sarah, Carrie, Neva and now Tracy leave. So far everyone who has left has been replaced by a man. GVR talks a good game and says love... — read more
Is it going under?

News of more RIFs?
Has there been any news on more RIFs?
Join NM in May. File for Bankruptcy. Make $650,000 bonus. Leave NM. Can I be the next COO please?
Unfortunately the pay information is no longer public. Did he receive a ki$$ on the way out?
Chairman Paul Brown: Now that you've met GVR and team can you do one of your famous listening sessions with those of us actually doing the work?
You can assess the gap between GVR, his team and the rest of us. It gets bigger every day. https://www.businessinsider.com/inspire-brands-ceo-paul-brown-asks-same-questions-after-acquisition-2019-9
We should just go online?
maybe that wouldn’t be bad either. The pressure created by competition from online rivals is too great. Someone has already suggested in one of the posts that we should just go just online and I absolutely agree, I think that would be a good move. I... — read more
Who's Minding the Store?? Not the Board. Not GVR. Mr. Stanley would not approve.
Not looking to relive the past. But looking for leadership. And there's no one home.
Fact check: Was the GVR Cadillac health plan shared with the judge so anyone could object?
GVR said yes but It appears it was conventially omitted! Not a surprise. How could we object if it wasn’t there? If there’s a mention in the filings, please show us. Some of us actually read this stuff - and section 29 makes no mention. Boring... — read more

How do you meet their unrealistic sales goals?
Micromanaging is crazy, and being forced to send “looks” to customers regardless of your department. It’s asinine and employees dread coming to work every day with outrageous sales goals during a pandemic. _ It’s amazing to me that there’s no... — read more
They hire anyone now
I knew NM was in trouble when I went to buy a pair of shoes from the Tyson’s corner location and the sales associate never heard of Tod’s (a famous luxury brand of shoes)
it was a wonderful experience in the 90s, early 2000s
I worked for Neiman Marcus from 1992-2007, known as the “golden era“ which stores were booming, terrible to see what’s happening to this once glorious company.
Name one thing you would change?
For me it would be all the micromanaging. I’ve been here long enough and have the knowledge and experience to know what my job functions are, and then some! There is no need to constantly breathe down my neck to see if I’ve completed anything within... — read more

Rubbing salt into the wound
How inconsiderate is it to lay off a bunch of people and in the same breath to turn around and post a whole bunch of new job openings? And not even try to hide it? Just when I think that this company can't stoop any lower, they manage to surprise me... — read more
