New Hires?!?

What is the status with your new hires? We see our new hires at training and then the disappear, forever. I guess collecting unemployment is easier than going to work. Our selling floor population is not much bigger than earlier in the year. This... — read more

Kohls

I was in a Kohls yesterday and the floors were polished and the store was overflowing with merchandise. Simply this is what is wrong with Macy's.

Hoping for a better opportunity before year's end

I’ve been wanting to leave for months, but for now, nothing offers the same great schedule I get here. I could be lucky with my manager but I get a lot of flexibility and that's a big deal to me. It’s not just about the money. That's the only... — read more

Racial slur

I witness a manager make a racist remark and customers also over heard...How can I report this manager without any repercussions???? I'm afraid they will cut my hours. I will. not give anyone my employee number and risk my job.

Schedules

I've worked at Macy's for a few years now during this time we always get our Schedules until the end of the year, but for some reason it's not the case this year. Checked this morning and nothing has changed. Anyone know the reason. Thank you.

morale

The sorority sisters running the stores can demoralize a sales team faster than you can say "G-B". It's a skill, I'll give you that.

This shouldn't be happening

Why do we have to take getting cursed out every day with little to no help from managers? Why is it considered acceptable for us to be abused by rude customers even when we're clearly in the right? I'd leave if I didn't know that most of retail is... — read more

I have a question for those who are looking to leave

I know many at my store are planning to leave Macy's as soon as they can. I'm curious, is there anything the company could do to make you want to stay? Maybe a change in the way your store is run or something to do with the staff you work with? Or... — read more

Another busy day at a "TOP 50." Too many call-outs to list, not nearly enough staff, and more cr-p on the floor than on the fixturing. When will we look like Bloomingdales?

Question regarding employee discount

I can't believe we're still open

Every year, the surge in foot traffic at my store would have started by now, but this time it's not happening. It’s been slowing down for years, but this drop is the worst I’ve ever seen. Barely anyone even comes into the store anymore. I hate to say... — read more

Is it just the assumption (a reasonable one)

Or is there substantiated info about corporate layoffs coming around the turn of the year? I wouldn’t be surprised, but if they are really coming, it would be nice to know.
