Does anyone know if it is ok for leaders to take stuff home that was keyed out as MOS? We have always had to throw stuff away and now leaders are doing MOS and taking the stuff home. Really confused!!
The results will not change anything
That's my personal opinion, that survays are just a waste of time. Does anyone really think that they are interested in what we think in order to improve the workplace? It's so naive to think that because they certainly don't care about it in... — read more
Hey Macy's, you need to bring back your VM's because your stores are looking like dumpster fires!
Not only Visual Managers, but colleagues that actually want to be happily employed. Right now you have long standing employees that for some reason are still loyal, you got People Leaders that are not trained properly, floor colleagues that really... — read more
Retail is dying a slow death ... Thanks to buying directly from China and AI
More stores of all size and shapes will be closing through out USA. China is now selling to USA customers directly with online websites like Temu and Shein. You just can't compete in prices. So don't blame your retail store management. Blame yourself... — read more
The middle man (like Macy's, JCPenney, Kohls, Sears, Kmart, etc) are going to go out of business
The middle man is disappearing one by one as you can now buy directly from China online shopping stores like Temu and Shein. As these Chinese online companies get more and more popular in USA, you're going to see store disappear one by one as well as... — read more

When and where is the next strike???
Union Square last November. Harold Square recently. Where would be next? And when will it be? Love it when colleagues strike. Teach Macy’s a lesson. Bankrupt them with all these extra expenses to cover the store instead of just paying employees a... — read more
Anonymous HR tip number
I’m seeing a lot of posts regarding unethical behavior from store leadership. If you don’t feel comfortable doing an in store solutions case, I wanted to share that there is an HE number you can call to anonymously report things like this... — read more
The future of Macy's
Some people are too pessimistic, and some have too high hopes. What are your predictions for the company's future? I'm somewhere in between but I can't wait to leave and watch this place from distance.
Survey Pulse
Does anyone how long I have to take the survey?????? Don't want to miss it.
New Private Brand
Uhmmm, this is the new private brand we're launching in August? Really? Just got several racks and folded programs in all I can say is, well, "If you ain't got nothing nice to say aboit it, then just mind your p's and q's". What is this company... — read more
Nike and under armor
I hear they’re coming back? Guess leaving the department stores was a bad idea huh?
Macys needs to invest in their current stores instead of new stores!!
With all these smaller format Macy’s stores opening, I scratch my head. I know quite a few of currently open Macy’s locations that are a dump. Remodel and make the stores more visually appealing, add more inventory so there’s no empty space. You’re... — read more
The end of fashion

Chief’s realignment

No coverage.
We just lost an employee in our department and they said they will find someone internally because they can’t afford to hire someone outside of Macy’s. Like what the he-l is that. They continue to say that they have no hours. The coverage just makes... — read more
Central Checkouts
Any word on when central checkouts are coming (as announced with ISM/Inspirational/Experiential store layouts) Has your store started? Seems like we're losing registers every month.
Q: How long before proficient in Fulfillment?
Real answers please. How long before you expect someone to be proficient in fulfillment? Picking min of 20/hr, packing same or less time? I haven't watched the videos in ages but I bet the packing demo shows someone moving reeeaallslow. Thanks!
Taken from Macys website
I'm so miserable I come home screaming to my husband because that's how much I hate working for this company right now. What does the leadership team need to get better at? They need to get better at working as a team instead of individuals. Why do... — read more
Inventory hours
Correct me if I’m wrong, does anyone know that if we’re required to come in after store hours to work inventory isn’t there a pay shift from midnight till 5:00 am? I thought I remembered that especially when having to work crazy Black Friday... — read more
Toddler maimed by mannequin at macys
So million+ lawsuit about to hit Macys for causing sever injuries to a toddler with a mannequin. What are you visual people doing honestly? Possibly the most useless job at Macys.
For those who are planning to change companies
Most retail jobs are similar. They all have the same stress and all have to deal with the same toxic people so leaving Macy's will not guarantee you'll be better off even if you are paid more. What you need to look for is a place that has good... — read more
How can Macy's be doing horribly if they're opening up new stores?
Just hearing about several new stores opening up! Not just "Marketplace At Macy's " but actually Macy's...brand new ones, from the ground up! These are smaller format stores, so does that mean the'll be closing the full larger ones once these get... — read more
Starlight?
Starlight…Starbright who knows what my name is really like . Only a month away and no one has confirmed what the name of project smile… aka now Starlight is ….does anyone know ? Additional floor moves to about 50% to our 1st floor with only an 16... — read more
High time to get out
When every aspect of a company starts to decline, starting from the top and going all the way to the bottom, it's time to get out. That means the company is in its final stages of life. Sad...... but true, and hopefully everyone working at Macy's... — read more
Ridculous
I hope Moms against Macys on Facebook is a joke. It’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. If your offspring is old enough to work they are old enough to learn how to negotiate life. Talk to them, provide counsel but that should be it. You are... — read more
Employees need good training
Perhaps Macy's thinks it's saving money that way, but I think poorly trained employees cost the company even more. Will there ever be better employee training here? I doubt it, although it should be one of the priorities.
MOM’S against Macys forming online group
If you would like to be a MAM (Moms against Macys) member please keep an eye out for our Facebook page, which should be coming soon. We will share stories, tips, complaints, and any and everything else you want to. #MAM 2023
Dress Code
Is there no dress code for the Sales Managers anymore. I have seen managers dressed like ho----s. Bellies showing, skirts way too short and boots above the knee. Is that the professional look that Macys is allowing now. What happens when the... — read more
NYC 1-S union
Anyone else want to understand why we just sent key leaders, during inventory prep and Father’s Day weekend, from stores all across the country to support Herald Square in case they couldn’t come to a union agreement, and then have them all fly out... — read more
Updates on Overtime
At the risk of attracting some trollish and cynical remarks, is there anyone out there who can speak to the outlook on when, if ever, there will be any flexibility for overtime?
Leaders
I worked for Macys since 2013 and i have to point out the elephant in the room. if you work in "management" or a "Leader role" store manager especially you are not a leader at all and liking memes all day long on LinkedIn doesn't make you a... — read more
asm, sms, dds, ltd, vp WTF?
Does an OOM have to answer to the CSM, SSM, CSX or STM? What if they have a ITS in the BBW? Can you get an STD from that?
GET RID OF ISM ALREADY ITS NOT WORKING!!!!!
Can we please have our merch teams back. Maybe get a reliable sales team back in designated areas so they will take pride in there work like they once did.
MBA Responsibilities
I genuinely don’t know what MBA’s do every day. They now don’t own AYS. So they own hours, expense, facilities…and what? Hiring? Well that’s not happening right now. How long does managing hours/expense take a day? Maybe an hour or two? What are they... — read more
Starlight name
What is the name of Starlight going to be? Is it “Project Smile”?
Stop stressing over it
I get it, many of us are dealing with a heavy workload, a shortage of staff, and insufficient hours to finish all the tasks on our list. What I've decided is to stop stressing about this whole situation. I'm giving it my all, and I can't give more... — read more
