This whole thing could have been handled so much better

There isn't enough transparency. Employees have no idea what's going on and that affects our work. How hard is that to figure out? The more we stress over things and the more we wonder what's going to happen, the more morale will go down, and with it... — read more

Are we sc--wed?

Tony's new message on Arkhouse Capital, who has nominated a group of individuals to stand for election to our Board at the 2024 Annual Meeting. Sounds like we are done.

Not a bright future

I don’t think the change at the top was for Macy’s to change the course and recover. I don’t see any long-term plan beyond letting the company go down. All we are going to see in coming months is cuts, cuts and more cuts, which means more layoffs... — read more
