Topics regarding layoffs at Macy's Inc.

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

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 

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

Stores closing

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?

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.

Constant complaining

There's nothing Macy's employees will not complain about, apparently. First you complained because there were no raises and now you're complaining that raises are too low. I don't think there's anything this company could do to make you less... — read more 

Never good enough?

I can’t stand my manager anymore. No matter how hard I try, I’m not good enough for him. I try not to take things very personally, but it’s very difficult considering I care about this job (at least until I find something else). It’s not that I... — read more 

I hope we close!

I'm so tired of my store. There isn't a decent person working here! Everybody is lazy and expects others (usually me) to do their job. Managers are nothing but bullies who have their pets who can scroll through their phones the whole day and do... — read more

What a wonderful feeling

when you give notice.... What a relief.... I wouldn’t feel better even if I got a raise (which I didn’t). I finally managed to get rid of this joke of a company that doesn't deserve even those employees that put in minimum effort. I’m sure that even... — read more 

Two weeks notice

Does anyone know if there’s a way to put your two weeks on insite?

Sales are picking up

I don't know if it's the stimulus checks or the change in season or whatever else but our sales are finally picking up again. I was worried we would be closed sometime soon considering how bad sales were for the past few months. I hope it stays like... — read more 

Visual Captain

I used to work at Macys a few years ago, and Im looking into coming back but as a Visual Captain. Is this the same as Visual Manager? I heard there wasn’t any VM position anymore and the new role is Visual Captain. What are the hours and days that... — read more 

No more Nike

In case you haven't heard, Nike kicked Macy's to the curb - so no more Nike, except for stores that still have Finish Line. So for the rest of us, that means even LESS REASON for people to walk through the doors. This place is circling the... — read more 

Will it work the way they imagined?

There are 56 stores in the company doing a pilot called innovative Selling. Merchandisers and pricing colleagues will also be working selling shifts, and selling colleagues will be placing and doing markdowns. Starts next month hours will be... — read more
