Anticipated side effect of the announcements about closing stores? Stage whisper comments from People Leaders about replacing colleagues with younger colleagues with better metrics from closing stores. It might not be a mistake to do some HR... — read more

How long does it take to plan a mass layoff
In yesterday's business updates the head of HR said there are no plans as of now, and mass layoff takes months to plan, can anyone share how long they need to plan such a thing? Given sales are down badly this month, not hoping much for Q1 results. — read more
This is the end of Macy's
When you start shrinking at this rate instead of growing or at least maintaining the number of stores, it's the beginning of the end. They might say they will close 150 stores over the next three years, but I wouldn't be surprised if that number... — read more
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
If your store is on the closing list, please name it here:
There's no published list available to the stores yet but let's get a list going here.
"Corporate tiers 4 and 5 - you are the weakest links."
Can someone explain what tiers 4 & 5 are, the titles etc. Also if anyone has any info of upcoming ax timeline (may/june?) that would be helpful too.
Still Here?
What does closing 150 stores mean for those of us who still work here? Well, there's the obvious. 150 stores is about 30% of the Macy's portfolio (not including Bloomies, and Blue Mercury). All of the managers and employees who work at these... — read more

Macy’s refused to give a listing of stores let’s list them here.
Macy’s Manchester NH
Is my location closing? I’m on leave and I don’t really want to call and ask. I might just not return from leave if that’s the case.
Macy’s NYC has a homeless problem
Macy's in NYC has so many homeless people inside their store that it requires partnership with a homeless outreach team. WTF? Why is anyone putting up with this?... — read more

These closings will reverberate throughout Macy’s. I expect waves of layoffs, well beyond peeps in affected stores.

Spring Business Update Call
Random call added for Store Managers , DVPs, RDOS, and HRBPs on Friday evening for tomorrow at 5pm. What could it be?
I am tired from just thinking of Monday
I lost all the motivation to work. It’s not about possibly losing a job, but boarding a sinking ship every Monday.
What happens if the private equity gets seats?
If they do get board seat or seats.. What to expect?
Macy's will go the way of Sears within the next 5 years
Nothing can be done to prevent this at this point.
Old but still very interesting

Layoffs update
Do we know anything new for certain? I have a bad feeling about where all this is going.
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.
Thoughts?

We can't wear hoop earrings, or wear our hair down!! What does that have to do with our performing our job duties and responsibilities??? Plus, WHY are we being threatened with termination of employment lf we don't open enough Credit Card... — read more
Who is Macy’s hiring? 😳
We have a new colleague, full-time position, very weird and sketchy person. Well I decided to do some investigating and it turns out there is a mug-shot out there with a dui and domestic violence within the past year??? WTF?! This person didn’t even... — read more

State Street status?
As a lot of people know the lower level candy section of the iconic Marshall Field’s flagship has closed! Makes me wonder if the store itself is going to last much longer. They already took out the central atrium and sold off the upper floors… I’m... — read more
Employee Appreciation
Just curious. I know several longtime Macy's employees who are exceptional workers. They carry their departments and are always committed to surpassing expectations. These same employees have been awarded many Employee of the Year awards. The... — read more
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
Am I Paranoid, or Anyone Else too
I work in corporate, LIC specifically. Im feeling very off "shade" vibes, almost if their scanning for upcoming people that are not neccessary for 2nd wave if it comes. If the post on Q1 results is correct (meaning sink or swim = more cuts) then... — read more
We are not family
I love how my manager always pulls out the "we're family" card when he wants more from all of us (and when I say more, I mean more than humanly possible,) and yet when we need something, we are denied and we shouldn't get upset because "it's just... — read more
Tanking online sales?
Fulfillment Captain here. Our picks have been ridiculously low, even at Christmas we didn't have days like LY. Anyone else experiencing the same. I look at our forecasted picks and they're down 50-80%
