Why are there so many whiners here? If you don’t like your job or what Macys is asking of you then find something better. This is retail, how damn hard can it be to get something equivalent? Not too damn hard! People spend so much energy in being... — read more 

Backstabbing

There is an abundance of it going on and management is either clueless or just doesn’t seem to care one bit. They’re either looking after their own or turning the other cheek. I hate it because a coworker of mine who works hard is thinking of... — read more 

Where is the help we need?

We’ve been short staffed for well over 6 months. My team and I are overworked with no relief in sight. When employees leave the positions aren’t backfilled. It feels like we are going out of business which could account for how cr---y our store... — read more

Are they completely clueless?

What angers and worries me is that those at the top seem completely clueless what to do next with this company. I often wonder if they even want to make an improvement at all? What they are doing now is unsustainable, that is my opinion. This way it... — read more

Since Jeff Gennette took over, this company has just gone down hill. He is the reason Macy's is failing.

Macy’s fire works

I took notice that a lot of news channels reported the “ Nyc fireworks “ show not Macy’s fireworks show. Makes you think the news is trying to bury the promotion

There will NEVER be accountability

The past is over and done with. But comparing it with the present is fine. It measures at least in part the direction we are headed. We talk about issues and how those issues impact employees in the hopes that leadership will be held accountable. But... — read more

Don't forget, everybody...

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.

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.

Here are some solutions

Get rid of the entire upper management. Replace them with people who care about the company and not only with how to enrich themselves. Make sure people are promoted based on merit and not nepotism and cronyism, for obvious reasons. Start... — read more

Bad reputation

People actually read sites like Glassdoor as well as here to get a feel of what a company is like and how employees are treated. All the bad reviews certainly don’t help to attract even a little bit of talent, especially when the points that are... — read more

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 

Lots of talk, little action?
