I don’t believe that the reason the company advertises jobs for which it doesn’t hire new people is a software issue. This cannot be true no matter how much they try to convince us that this is the reason. Are there really people who believe in... — read more
What is week of understanding?
what is week of understanding? is this the ceo making excuses for his 11 million a year robbing of the company? I think you must understand that macysjobs.com is a complete abomination as well as what the stores are turning into.. but when a... — read more
How many people are missing in your store?
There are many more jobs than there are employees. And we are more than short on staff, however, no one new is coming in, and one person left just last week. It's not clear to me how this all works, but I'm pretty sure I'll have to go soon too... — read more
Does anyone have a good manager?
I get really annoyed when I see the manager trying to look all important, while in reality he has no qualities at all that one would expect from him. Organizational awareness – zero. Communication skills – zero. Problem solving – zero... — read more
Macy's has become a "woke", joke!!!!!
Go Kohl's, Go!!! https://www.retaildive.com/news/kohls-tommy-hilfiger-partnership-is-another-blow-to-macys-malls/598720/
Why are you getting so emotionally invested in Macy's?
I can't believe how many people are getting emotionally invested in Macy's and what's been happening with it. Macy's is not your company. It's not a company you built so you need to get all bent out of shape over it. It's a place that pays you... — read more
These things speak volumes
Sadly when you have executives who refuse to actually observe stores incognito they tend to fall over. When Walmart pays its employees more than Macy’s you know there’s a serious problem. When 60+ year old women tell you Macys is cheap and messy and... — read more

OVM’s incentive
Does anyone know how the OVM incentives work? Or is there no such a thing
Sometimes I wonder if they experience it too
My store manager is a total control freak, in a very negative sense. She does not control employees to prevent something bad from happening, but just the opposite. I have a feeling that her goal is to constantly look for mistakes in order to... — read more
MBA/OVM Question
How many nights a week are the MBAs and OVMs having to close the store?
Macys was at the forefront of human rights and social justice twenty five years ago. Today it is a modern day enslaver
The people that have invested years of loyal service to make the company successful are now required to perform extra work loads. The store level associates with wonderful people skills and years of expertise that once stood proud now have their... — read more
We all deserve kudos and high 5s (because raises and pay suck)
We’re all being worked to de▯▯h with stores being understaffed and most of management just standing on the sidelines (at least in my location). We’re being pushed to our limit just to see if we’ll quit. Got to give a shout out to those... — read more
We are being set up to fail
I might be paranoid, but it feels like somebody wants to see Macy's fail. I thought this was just the case in my store but it seems to be happening all around. The best people, the people with the most experience are being let go and those who barely... — read more
Macy's has to stop pretending it is a department store
This is a company that no longer wants specialists or professionals and still demands the same results from its employees. Macy's should pull up it's dirty thread bare rugs and tear out it's stained ceilings and become a bare bones 34 Cent Store ... — read more
Benefits to Having Fewer Fitting Rooms?
I really like some of the benefits associated with only have one fitting room per floor open in our store. There seems to be less wear & tear on the merchandise, since it doesn't get thrown on the fitting room floors and probably also makes theft... — read more
Ghetto Macy's at it's finest!
Another expose' showing Macy's at it's finest! LOL Such a pathetic company! https://www.cnbc.com/2021/04/13/as-americans-return-to-shop-in-stores-some-retailers-are-still-a-mess.html
If you're not happy, now's the time to leave
The economy is slowly starting to recover and so many companies are hiring - both in retail and outside of it. Some are contacting old employees but since many of them have already moved on, there's plenty of open position available all around... — read more
MacysJobs.com is STILL having problems
What a freakin' fiasco. The whole hiring process is still screwed up-from advertising positions we need filled to processing transfers....someone please–stop the insanity. :(
NCR
Was wondering how it's going with NCR at the start of their 3rd year? When we were contracted out at MST we were told it would be faster and better service so how's that "business" decision going?
Backstage
Is anyone else's Backstage just out of control? I mean we are receiving at least 120 boxes of B.S. merch six days a week. Who's buying all this garbage? Because shoppers certainly aren't. We have so much our VPSM told us to merchandise it into the... — read more
Is there still a systems and store facilities team?
Hey, is there still a systems team ??? What happened to store facilities guys?
Saturday Observations
Disclaimer: Don't work for Macy's. St. Louis area this past Saturday, rainy day, but fairly nice temps. Midrivers Mall, a B class mall located in the suburbs, that seems to be holding its own for the most part - time will tell, though the pandemic... — read more

Anybody heard anything about some stores closing in the fourth quarter?
Another brand leaving
https://www.google.com/amp/s/finance.yahoo.com/amphtml/news/exclusive-danielle-bernstein-leaving-macy-040506986.html She said she want better “ quality “ control over her brand. Yep it’s official Macy’s sells junk
No confidence in Jeff Gennette
It's time to demand Gennette be removed. He is decimating this company. At a time when great service, clean/upscale stores and merchandise, would be a brick and mortar differentiator and competitive advantage, we are moving towards a Kohl's/JCPenney... — read more
Returned from furlough experiences
It would have been better if I had never come back from furlough. I don’t know what your experiences are but for me it’s worse than ever. I worked here for many years but since I came back I have a feeling that I just started in this company. A lot... — read more
Can you be moved bc of a medical accommodation?
I don't want to be too specific.... But long story short, I have a medical accommodation restricting my hours/days to the base hours. My position is a base 20 budgeted hours. I have this accommodation because of a medical condition. My position in... — read more
What can Macy's do to keep hard workers?
It can no longer motivate me to work hard like it used to, nor can it motivate me to stay here. After seeing that hard work doesn’t pay off at all, I first decided to work the bare minimum, and then I started looking for other options. I really don't... — read more
Severance
I have been hearing that the company does not offer a severance/buyout anymore when they eliminate your position or close the store. Is this true?
Early retirement packages
Do you think Macys will ever offer it’s older workers early retirement packages again?
56 store pilot
So Macy’s only shows a recent profit of $160 million Now they are doing a pilot in 56 stores. My guess is this pilot will be a job crusher so they look better on paper and work their dying herd more to death
What is fair in this company?
It seems like the review scorecards are predetermined according to how your store did. They see it more like a team scorecard vs individual. I use to work in receiving and thought I did very well but on my review included how well the store did in... — read more
Who will be the next pulling out?
It didn’t surprise me at all that Nike was pulling out. If you were a company, would you still stay at Macy’s - I believe you wouldn’t. I just wonder who’s next, who’s going to get out of here next and is this company doing anything to keep vendors?... — read more
Made the decision to leave
Gave my notice and will definitely not be looking back. Going to a job that hopefully will be able to appreciate everything I have to bring to the table. And even if it doesn’t work out, it’s got to be better than here. Anything’s got to be better... — read more
A Reminder about COVID Vaccine Info
I understand that many businesses encourage their employees to get a COVID vaccination, but can you remind the managers that the employees' vaccination status is protected medical information? Thank you!
Reliability
Question. Does my reliability percentage go down if I give up hours?
Reviews
Now that reviews have been occurring , will you be able to advise what rating you got (up to 5) AND then what percent of a raise you got, if any. This might relate more to central than stores (nor sure if they have same 1-5 scorecard). Curious... — read more
Malls are not needed
Walking thru a few malls. I noticed it’s more closed stores. Less shoppers. Terrible merchandise. No need for a mall.
