How many here are just sitting back and watching M slowly crash? Enjoying the show as the company frantically tries any last ditch effort to remain relevant in an industry that is evolving quicker than Macy’s can follow and thereby failing miserably... — read more
They just believe in numbers
I think the numbers give insight only to a certain degree when it comes to situation in the stores. Managers following these numbers do not see the real situation at all, which sometimes seems a lot different to me than what the numbers say. Looking... — read more
Why I’m not quitting
I love how people tell us to quit if we don’t like what’s going on. Do you really think it’s that easy? Do you think we don’t have bills to pay and/or children to support? Oh but wait, wait, of course, there are others who say jobs are aplenty - just... — read more
Nobody cares anymore
It's so obvious that nobody cares anymore. Employees, management, nobody. My store has been a mess for a while now. It's been getting progressively worse. I try to do the best I can but things that used to take one hour now take two (at best)... — read more
Surge Pay
Who's bright idea was it to hurt morale even more, especially at this time, and only offer "Surge Pay" to 8010 associates? Great for selling associates, happy for you, but bad for everyone else. Way to go Macy's, talk about hypocrisy, "TEAMS WIN"... — read more
Despite everything, do you try your best?
While some give the bare minimum, other people, despite the injustice you see every day at work and generally poor working conditions, try to give their best. Sometimes I don't even understand why I try so hard. I keep telling myself that I need to... — read more
Death of foot traffic
The death of foot traffic will be your over zealous security guards who think they are mcguyver. Every time I walk into any Macy’s you have security at 6 o’clock and one at 12 o’clock. They watch your every move and text each other on your... — read more
Security now has guns ?

Macys has attracted a customer to their stores that is so price driven nothing else matters including the condition of the stores .
This customer wants the item at the price they want to pay. Everyone enjoys a bargain, but this is taken to a new level by a customer that can afford to make the purchase. They come in for every sale looking at the same item and ask the same... — read more
This is becoming unbearable
Am I the only one who needs a full day to recover after one day of work at Macy's? With the as----e managers, as----e customers, and coworkers who are not even trying anymore, how is anybody supposed to make it through the day and not have a nervous... — read more
Next Pulse Survey
As we are working on the next Pulse survey, how about instead of asking questions about racial injustice, discrimination, and social ills, we update the process to include the following; as always, rated from Strongly Agree to Strongly Disagree by... — read more

Support team should walkout or call out
All support teams should pick a day and call out or walk out next weekend. I would say this weekend but it’s not enough time to organize it. We need to stand up for ourselves. Show Macy’s that we will not let them pay selling colleagues, fitting room... — read more
If reading this doesn't make you want to jump ship...
From the 2020 Annual Report: Our ability to grow depends in part on our stores remaining relevant to customers. We have invested in facilities and fixtures upgrades, merchandise assortment and customer service in selected stores to improve... — read more
Buh Bye
After working at this sinking ship for almost 10 years, barely making $11.50 an hour, having to do the work of 6 people, I had the manager of Dillard's walk through the store about two weeks ago. Handed me his card and asked me to call him if I... — read more
Do you help your colleagues?
It is never a problem for me to help any of my colleagues. Also, from time to time I needed someone's help as well. However, I have a colleague who literally takes advantage of this. I think he started asking for help even when he didn't need it at... — read more
Is displaying favoritism in the workplace is illegal?
People don't leave bad jobs, but bad bosses - that's right. In addition to the job being hard enough, my manager further complicates the situation by giving preferential treatment to some colleagues for reasons that are absolutely unrelated to... — read more
Has your health deteriorated here?
The other day I had my first panic attack here, which I thought was a heart attack. It happened after a bit of an ugly situation with the manager. It doesn’t surprise me at all that this happened to me because I’m under constant stress. I work like a... — read more
How do you get along with colleagues?
At my previous job, also in the retail sector, I had colleagues who were good people and with whom it was a pleasure to work. Although I am a very social person, I haven't been able to fit in with my new colleagues for several months now, and... — read more
Beauty Extra Colleague Discount
Is is true that Lancôme is excluded from the upcoming Beauty Extra Colleague Discount.
Don’t make waves
I was told this yesterday. I was also told that I could be jeopardizing my job by fellow coworkers. Am I supposed to just smile at my manager and tell her how wonderful and smart she is just to feed her ego? No job is worth having your self-esteem... — read more
Sales associates getting paid time and a half on weekends
At our store support is pi**ed. It’s not fair that we will not get paid the time and a half. Our management team is clueless. She announced this morning that support can pick up selling shifts to make time and a half but it’s not possible. We are... — read more

MORE reasons to look for another place to work
Our store is currently doing more with less. We have less staff and MORE customer complaints. We have less merchandise and MORE customers leaving without finding what they are looking for. We have less Store Managers (we lost ours and now share one... — read more

8030 gets shafted in surge pay...
So being overlooked beyond a 40 cent raise, now support teams get shafted once more with the surge pay being offered in May. If you haven't heard, associates in 8010 scheduled Friday-Sundays will get time and a half past 4 hours worked per shift... — read more
Integrated Workforce OVM
Any rumors or ideas on what will happen to OVMs after the integrated workforce pilot goes company wide?
Macy's CEO makes 552 times as much as his employees. The average CEO in America makes 320 times as much .
Mr G is rewarded very well for low morale and high turnover and a 45.9% part time workforce without health benefits. Then they still shake down employees for donations for their own causes. What a social disgrace.
This is what I think will happen
This is what I think will happen : with the new roll out of associates doing markdowns and merchandising i think this will be in full effect before summer hits. i also think that sales managers / ops/vs and leads will all start to be cut before... — read more

Sales people now merchandising and merchandiser now selling ? WHAT A JOKE!
They have implemented that all merchandisers and sales people are one of the same. We all put out all the new product , do markdowns, recovery and ring up customers. They rolled it out and it starts NOW! They think they can schedule everyone... — read more
Unemployment
Anyone know if you can get unemployment if you were fired from Macy’s? I just got a letter for unemployment compensation for employee.
A social organization or a business?
We have enough money to hire outside speakers to have a one hour a day teams call for the week of understanding daily video conference that our store manager makes us watch every day but no money to fix our busted HR system. Are we a social... — read more

How do you manage to work when you feel targeted?
Lately, my manager's behavior towards me has changed a lot and I feel like it's a sign that they will soon inform me that they don't need me anymore. I am very aware of that. In the meantime, I can't find a new job and I'm under a lot of stress. I... — read more
Macy's Website - Jobs
Why doesn't Macy's state whether the job is PT or FT on the online portal? Are they all PT positions?
Store Manage decides what "leadership" looks like
I have been an executive with Macy's for 9 years. A month ago, my manager pulls me in and out of the blue states that I am inconsistent in my leadership behaviors and he has felt this way for a while. This was the very first I had heard anything... — read more
