Hoping one of your Assistants read this. Please make the announcements on job cuts. It is difficult to work in an environment where you know an ax is about to drop. Pleading with you to let us know.

All my bosses in corporate are on PTO. It feels strange because the ones I knew taking vacation were taking it between the holidays and they were supposed to be here this week. It’s making me horribly nervous that they just don’t want to be around... — read more

That sounds like good news so does that meant all the mass layoffs Tuesday/Wednesday aren’t credible?

There is a law that companies have to file mass layoffs with the state in advance. So far there are no listings for Macy's at these state sites, but that could change soon. New York - https://dol.ny.gov/warn-notices Ohio -... — read more

Does any one know if small format locations are going forward considering all the upcoming changes?

Is this just a site for people to make up layoff rumors to try and get some information? Nothing here seems credible.

All day....all.damn.day i have tried to download my folders off sharepoint. Granted its ALOT alot of content & no successes. Its all my content/work, not business sensitive. Grrr, if anyone has a suggestion I'd appreciate it.

Thank you all for taking the time to post what information you know. Please continue in the days ahead to post news.

Does Macy's have a rule for how many hours or days a manager can change my schedule? I've looked in MyHR and can't find anything. My people leader said 72 hours. I'm in California. I've had my schedule last minute with only 24 hours notice

Is it still the policy that stores with annual gross under $10M don't have a store manager, but are overseen by the nearest main store manager?

If the economy turns around, do you anticipate any Macy's layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?

I’ve heard rumors from my management and from this page. Is anyone willing to share some info besides “wait until next week”? It’s always such a stressful time, and I’ve seen too many cuts and know most management just plays d-mb. — read more
