I suppose this has been posted before. This has to be the worst technology I've ever worked with. IDK how people get their jobs done.

I'm drained. Just wondering if there is anyone here who doesn't have many more duties than what is in their job description? Is there anyone who doesn't wear multiple hats?

...just listened to Jeff Gennete's message on Theatro. "A stress free working enviorment" ? What kind of Macy's dillusional world is he living in? I feel defeayed listening to what he had to say this morning. #sorrynotsorry

If you are NOT a salary employee, and Macys calls you on your day off DO NOT ANSWER unless you need the money/hours desperately, you SHOULD not be “on call” at an hourly pay rate. Your schedule should be made in advance.
