I am fed up. So very few good managers left at Macy’s. Most are so incompetent. The managers keep picking on the same people to do everything. I work in the women’s department so you can imagine how much work there is. We have fitting rooms, the rods... — read more

Have you ever had a good time working here?
I mean, has it ever been bearable for you to work here and without as much stress as there is now? I've only been here for a little over half a year and I'm already thinking about new options. I know a person who has been here for 5 years who says it... — read more
Chief Operations Officer
you have to think if they are letting go the Chief Operations Officer in Augs and they are playing hunger games with everyone in the store as well as closing 45 locations that something else is coming down the pike that will effect your "career" at... — read more
Our store manager just quit
She is one of the few managers worth their salt, so to say I hate to see her go would be an understatement. I'm also petrified about our future. I've read horror stories here about other stores and their SMs, and I have no idea who's going to replace... — read more
Are masks still a thing?
Are we enforcing mask wearing still? Nobody seems to be worried anymore?
How to fix the Phoenix
Wow, just started working for this company as a MBA a few weeks ago and can't believe the new hiring system. I have been assigned to work with other MBA's in nearby stores to learn this new system and taken more online training and attended more... — read more
Welp
So much for the 1.5x weekend incentive we had 10+ call outs on sunday how's it going at y'alls stores?
They are never prepared
Just as they were not prepared for the onset of a pandemic, Macy's also did not prepare for the return of people to stores with the pandemic subsiding. I don't understand, how come they never think a little ahead? They are so short-sighted, it’s... — read more
Is their conceit to blame for everything?
When they are on top and when things are going well, people never think that something could ruin their plans and that they could very easily find themselves at the bottom. Precisely out of that arrogance and conceit, they do not prepare for... — read more
Fed up with this cr---y company
I’m getting tired of working my bu-t off while certain individuals will do nothing and still get paid. I put the blame of it entirely on management because they are constantly looking the other way. Talk about favoritism! He-l, now that I think about... — read more
I finally left
I’m a very long service red badge here. After many many years of layoffs and continual cuts in leadership with just more and more workload added as they cut more, I’m finally out! Quitting was the best thing I could possibly do for myself and my... — read more
Retail is all the same
Macy's is not special in its cr---y treatment of employees. I've worked at several of our competitors and it's always the same. Managers with a superiority complex, leadership that solves all issues with cuts and store closures, customers who are... — read more
Gotta be crazy!
I ran into a former colleague of mine who used to work for Macys. We chatted for a few minutes and she actually told me she missed working here. I was like “Are you crazy?” How can anyone miss such a horrible company with even worse managers? I told... — read more
What motivates you to get through the day here?
I could list complaints about Macy’s for days, but while I’m still working here, I try to look for some positive things to make it easier to get through the day. I have some great colleagues, and sometimes customer situations can be very funny. Other... — read more
Death of Macys
Remember when macys had my client? they pushed it and it never worked.., know why? cause employees are being worked to sheer utter death and the last thing they think of is adding another thing on to their endless pile... Do you see the problems... — read more
Delayed surge pay
Anyone else's store experiencing delays with the surge pay? What's going on? Will it be retroactive?
Not paid (on time)?
Has it ever happened to anyone here that you worked and were not paid? My sister recently got a job here and complained to me that she was not paid. I can't believe that such things happen, that people have to fight to get paid for what they have... — read more
Bankruptcy
Who are the pessimistic people who say that Macy's will sooner or later file for bankruptcy? Why do you think this will happen? I refuse to believe that something like this will happen, although everything indicates that if the company continues to... — read more
Where are all the good employees?
Within the last 12 months we’ve lost so many coworkers. They’ve either moved onto something better or they’ve been laid off. The terrible part is most of the new hires I’ve worked with do not have any retail experience, nor do they show any drive or... — read more
Great experience
I went to my local dying , dead , Deceitful Macy’s. And had a great cashier who spoke her mind. She said there was no manager working on a Sunday and there was zero help in the store. They got a new store manager who is trying to push the credit and... — read more
Looking to retrain?
I absolutely agree with someone who said that the way out of everything is learning new skills. I envy everyone who has that opportunity, but I don’t. I come home from work too tired and don’t have the time to dedicate to learning new things that... — read more
Where are the workers?
Anyone in the C-suites paying attention to something other than social issues and planning for the next Week of Understanding event? In case you haven’t noticed, we are struggling out here in stores, you left us with leaders that lack empathy and the... — read more

How long will the shortcomings of the hiring system be ignored?
We have so many open jobs not because we don't have applicants, we have applicants a plenty at our store, it's just that it takes so long to actually hire anyone that they receive offers from other employers before our hiring process gets to the... — read more
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
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

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
