Anyone know how long are seasonal positions? When are they expected to end?

I was shopping at the Macy’s Tysons Corner location recently and noticed something that I actually liked. They removed the Toys R Us section completely in that store and they also do not have a Backstage. I asked an associate as to why they dont... — read more 

Why would we have Friends and Family start immediately after the last LPOS FALL SALE. That sale was much better than F&F. The sales plan for our first day was ridiculously impossible for a Monday. Who the he-l is not thinking these things through — read more 

Its odd that our jobs instore has more to do with Visits...than Sales. Its odd that Regional and Divisional teams are so comfortable disrupting...than supporting. Its suspicious that those same people are just allowed to get it WRONG time and time... — read more 

Can someone please let us retirees know when is the Beauty extra discount please. The one that is around Black Friday. Not on Black Friday I know. It's the one that is 40-50% discount. Not the F&F 15%. Thank you.

Do colleagues get 20% off on furniture ?

Anyone have the 'hospitality crew' visit your store to see how it's going? How did that go? My store gets a visit soon

When scanning out Non-con, the packing screen shows hundreds of items we've already scanned out. Units in store show zero. How can I get rid of those and actually see what I'm scanning out? They really need to make a report that shows the sticker #... — read more 

Is anyone getting pulled from their stores to go help out for the Board of Directors visit this year? I remember last year, managers from all over were flown down to VA and was wondering if the same thing is going on this time and when.

I have done extensive research about the F200, the top 200 locations out of the 350 that Macy's is keeping open past 2029, or the 2028 fiscal year in which they have expanded the Bold New Chapter Plan until. Please read the entire post and my... — read more

I visited this week, as a tourist, and was amazed to see how pristine it is. Even Backstage! I assume people work 24/7 there but are there people who work on nothing but recovery all night??

What happens behind the scenes when CEO visits a particular location? Besides a store walk, is it just a presentation by the local store team of sales and future projections? What determines a "good" visit?

Can part timer be scheduled up to 30 hrs in Q4? I believe the regular hours are anywhere between 12-24 or 12-20

Did Macy’s recently change their policy about having personal belongings at the registers? In the store I work we can’t have our clear bags at the registers. The bags have to be put in a locker.

Anyone know any new info on this?

Retire here Can someone please post thr Fall Extra Discouht days when they come available? We no longer get any communication on when they happen … and appreciate when someone here takes the time to post ! Eternally grateful

It’s been a long month, how is everyone doing in their new role, with no extra pay? Or did you get extra pay?

Anything? Are they coming back? Because they were too important! How are the beauty departments doing?

I’m seriously at my breaking point with this company. While i know it’s my choice to stay and deal with it, it still doesn’t take away that the way we are treated here is so gross. The administration, the higher-ups, whatever you want to call them... — read more 

I hate recon!! How are we finding stuff that wasn’t there during inventory?? Also, does your store manager participate in any of it? Mine doesn’t do cr-p then expects everything from everyone!! We don’t have AP so they are “supposed to be” AP.

Well. we miss Burdine's. They were the Florida store, and traveling there, from New York, we always knew the store (even as Federated) was somewhat unique...not like the old days, but a differentiating experiences. How are things now after seeing... — read more 

How did it go? Were there few issues or a lot of issues during the overnight?

Well, under the legacy nameplates, a big part of the department store shopping experience was enjoying the full-service sit down restaurants in-store. Bloomingdale's I believe still runs their restaurants in house. However Macy's, unlike many of the... — read more 

Hello there, Are there any May Company legacy people that can give us the 411 on what happened to May Company star program (Diamond star...etc.) If memory serves, this was connected to sales and hospitality. Isn't that right ?

I look around and it seems like nobody cares about the state of our stores. It's pretty depressing.

Fellow MBA’s what shifts do you normally work each week? I now normally get stuck with 2 Closing Shifts , 3 opening shifts I used to get 1 close and 4 opening shifts when I first moved out of being a CXM Less closing Was supposed to be a perk of... — read more 

what to do about a coworker who just loves to run around the story and gossip all the time.

I know there are still NGF doors. When are they expected to close or be notified of their official closure date? Are they going to make them wait until January again or are they deciding on a month to month basis?

I mean, since getting as many applications seems to be the only goal these days why not branch out and ask all over the place? Who cares about actually selling stuff, right? Let's get those applications and who gives a damn about our actual jobs. Who... — read more 

I am curious to know how many store managers who don’t work a full schedule. Ours does not work a weekend, any big sale days, or any holidays. They take more PTO than they’re supposed to.How are they getting away with this? Where is the store manager... — read more 

What's happening with the MBA position? I know a lot do not understand the position and everything they do. They do so much. Basically a director is smaller stores.

How has this worked in your store? We have dock people who are M-F but no fulfillment that are M-F. Have people changed their schedules to accommodate fulfillment requirements? My store is under $20M

I'll just say it. These stores could change their flow upside down and inside out...it still wont change your sh**ty, nonexistent Selling Culture. Macys only solution to falling sales are floor moves. Change that! Especially considering the flow and... — read more

I love how they talk about flexible schedules and quality of life at Macys. Quality of life should not include having to work EVERY FREAKING WEEKEND. Unless you use all your vacation days or promise your first born to an associate to switch with... — read more 

Does anyone (I’m sure you do lol) have managers and store managers who speak rudely and speak down to their associates? What have you done about it? Really sick of the behavior in my store!
