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

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.

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

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

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

All union stores should be shut down, good enough for Chicago school teachers, good enough for us retail workers!

This place becoming for students only

Macy's is unrecognizable compared to the company it was almost 10 years ago when I started working here. Here I found quite a decent job that allowed me to pay my bills. It is now increasingly clear that those at the top want this to be a company for... — read more 

Is this true?

This rumor is going around - full timer hours will be 28 to 32 hours a week is what i hear. I will never agree to it if this turns out to be true.

Does anybody have any insight as to if the visual captain position will be eliminated or changed with the removal of the OVMs?
