Macy's 3 year Plan to shut down stores and trim back its employees didn't get cancelled because of the pandemic. The third year of their cutbacks is coming up in February of 2022.
It is not a question of how much they value you, but how much they value themselves...
How much has your self-confidence been damaged here? After a few years here, I realized that the problem is not in them nor the fact that they don’t value their employees enough. The real question is how much we value ourselves. Most people stay... — read more
Is the growth store project canceled???
In Feb 2020 Macy's announced that 100 additional stores were due to receive upgrades, creating the Growth 250. I know that capex has decreased since then, but I'm wondering whether these stores are still planned for renovation.
Temporary workforce
With the obvious shortcomings of our hiring system and inability to fill our current open jobs, our location and many others in the district have turned to temporary staffing agencies. The crews we have had so far have been fairly hard working but... — read more
Here are some solutions

Getting Nervous...

The Fulfillment Team lost their Unavailable Days
Management took away our Unavailable Days and they said we are Support but our Schedules are generated and we have 3 weeks in advance when we are working. Is this going on with all the Macy's?
Inflation and economy
Inflation is getting worse as economy is crashing. The worst is yet to come. Macy’s may know this and try to fire all managers by feb 2022.
Can you get used to the new normal?
The new normal is to do work for several people. We used to work a lot before, even too much, but this is now crossing the line. It is physically impossible to get everything done that is required of me. I thought this kind of pressure was... — read more
Embarrassed to work at Macy's?
Unfortunately, I still haven't been able to find an alternative and I feel ashamed that I'm still here. Very often I see pity in people’s eyes when I tell them I work at Macy’s and it doesn’t surprise me at all. This should be the last option where... — read more

Question
Does Macy's still have MyShop Captain positions? I don't see them advertised, so I was wondering.
Enough is enough.

Has anyone heard anything about what they plan to do with this new hiring system??? It is so difficult for applicants to use we won’t get any new hires!!
Why would you even think of transfering?
Are some people who work at Macy's masochists? I can't believe that some are considering transferring instead of taking severance. I would jump at an opportunity to get out of here with a package, that would be exactly the lifeline I need to leave... — read more

Who can get severance?

sketchy Macys
