Ok. We went from a 9PM close to an 8PM close then back to a 9PM close. Why anyone thinks that making the store hours (big ticket) a moving target does anything other than confuse the customer, is beyond me. I get the staffing issues. But this is a... — read more
How do the bad managers bother you?
Some of it is borderline harassment. I am not a kid and I don’t need to be babysat.
I work in probably the worst store
The atmosphere is toxic, manager is nervous, customers are few, the place is dirty... such is the store where I work. Sometimes it seems to me that every store is better than mine, even though I know they are all equally bad. I wonder if there is... — read more

Valentine’s
Is it just me or is it just a lil’ odd that Valentines home MS merchandise came straight off the truck and was marked down to Last Act? Orrrr that we JUST received mens socks with Christmas lights & candy canes on them…🤣🤔??? at full price??? — read more
“Tell us what you REALLY think”
We can all agree that Macys, specifically the store side, has been in a downward spiral for a while. Product assortment and quality has declined, covid slammed the economy, and staffing can be challenging. Sure there are a few glistening high volume... — read more
Hired too many people in our store
It’s extremely boring and no customers. I don’t know why they hired so many people to begin with only to lay them off again when business goes bad.
So dead, why we going back to 9pm closings?
We closed Sunday through Thursday at 8pm but now I see in February we are going back to 9pm closing and there’s even a 10pm closing for one day sale coming up beginning of February. It’s so dead, why are they doing late closings again?
Janitorial Cleaning
Does anyone know the company that does all the housekeeping at Macys especially in South Texas? Ever since they switch company its awful nasty dusty
Working 3 departments at the same time
It's become really exhausting. However, once a person agrees to be overwhelmed with so much work, there seems to be no going back. My responsibilities are getting bigger and the paycheck is the same. I absolutely no longer want to work in 3... — read more

It's not going to get any better
The main goal is to push people to order online, so they'll keep reducing headcount in stores in hopes customers will still want our products but will want to avoid the hassle of a half-empty store and get it from our website. The more people move... — read more
Full-time positions
Since it’s quite obvious that Macy’s wants to get rid of full-time positions, I wonder if Macy’s future is completely without FT positions? Maybe they think that everything can work without FT people? If they cut my hours, I'll give notice right... — read more
What changes in the coming weeks?
I don't think anyone knows what changes will happen in February. Just saying....
fake reviews
its comical that when you google your local macys you read reviews that are clearly from employees for their friends writing in and not real customers. its like they are trying to get a little pat on the back from darth vader or who ever runs their... — read more
I doubt there will be any changes for the better
There is more and more speculation about the changes that will follow, people are looking for details on how OVM roles will be changed, etc. Only one thing is clear to me, and that is that no change will benefit an ordinary employee who is trying... — read more
National hiring event January 20
Today they have a job fair. First time I have seen them doing a job fair in January. Have no clue what’s going on.
Anything will be better than retail soon
The current and future of retail is part time, open availability, with no benefits. It's basically becoming unskilled labor. Fast food pays better. This is perfectly put. Anybody who is still working in retail should be looking to get out as soon... — read more
Support team changes??
So it is only my store changing some things around or is it company wide? One of the OVM said to wait and things will be changing soon. Im assuming in February, but dont have any information really on what it is.
What's going to happen??
So.... what's going to happen in February?? We're all dying to know! Who knows??
I'm so nostalgic these days
It is only now that I am beginning to feel the effects of the stress that was inevitable due to this pandemic. More than anything in the world I wish the pandemic had never happened. However, who knows if Macy's condition would have been better... — read more
Insult to Injury
Adding insult to Injury. A large number of colleagues (using Macyspeak so you can recognize me as one of you) have fallen ill with COVID over the past few weeks. The direction is to call HR Services to provide a positive test result to qualify for... — read more
Inflation and Pay Adjustment
Do you notice Inflation? Should our pay be adjusted (across the board, all Macy's employees)?
Does your manager lie to you and do you find her/him ethical?
A quick poll on this: Does your manager lie to you and do you find her/him ethical?
Reduced salary
Last year they took away the commission in rtw. My manager had me sign a paper that I was agreeing to reduced my salary by 30 % due to the pandemic. She said that I didn't have a choice. Was she telling the truth ? Now the company stocks have gone... — read more
Can Macy's not give packages?
It is better not to count on severance package. That way, if it happens - great, and if not - it's easier if you weren't counting on it. Just saying. However, hypothetically speaking, it is not clear to me how the company can get away with not... — read more
My store is not on the list
Is there anyone else who is surprised that their store is not on the list? My store is not on the list even though it is doing very poorly and it's a miracle that it is not on the list. It’s just prolonging the agony for those who still think they... — read more
Smart management strategy?
Late announcements of store closings are a smart management strategy. After all, sharing such news too soon may prompt a loss of sales staff and disrupt the closing sales by their absence. It is a tricky job to keep co-workers on the job while a... — read more
Shoplifters delight
It’s nothing new and I shouldn’t be shocked anymore but it’s beyond comprehension the theft that goes on in our store. It’s almost like our location has to be out there that we’re easy pickings! Of course it doesn’t help that we don’t have in house... — read more
So many OVM postings ???
Why so many job postings for the OVM role? From what I read the job is either being eliminated, or splitting into Ops and Style responsibilities. Is Macys just going to fill these jobs in the next 3 weeks to either cut or demote these people?

Now I work as much as new hires
I wouldn’t want anyone to think I have something against new hires, on the contrary, I wish we were all paid a lot more. However, it is not right that I, after being here for six years and helping new employees every day, receive only a few dollars... — read more
Preach!
The small percentage of you pro Macy’s comment’s obviously have no self respect. I guess you enjoy being screwed over by Macy’s. They pay new hires up to 5.00 more per hour than tenured employees. Oh wait the tenured employees will make what new... — read more

Remaining Macy's closures
After the recent closure announcements, Macy's still plans to close more stores. How will this work? Will there be mid-year store closures in 2022? Or will they just wait till 2023 to announce the next round of closures? Or could they scrap the... — read more
