Front row seats

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

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

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 

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

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

Don’t make waves
