Hi, I no longer receive letters or mails regarding extra associate discount days. I do not have one of those login credentials because I am actually a retiree from Marshall Fields. Does Macy’s no longer have extra associate discount dates? — read more

Are Fittting Rooms open at your location?
and If not are you getting pressured from management to start opening rooms for customers? We haven't been approved to have them open just yet, but honestly unless they hire more people we probably won't until this is all over. Because of customer... — read more

I miss the old coworkers and the co-operation we had
I have been working here for a long time and whenever I had the opportunity to help my colleagues who were overloaded with work, I helped them, and vice versa. Somehow we were very close and we were a very well-coordinated team. However, almost none... — read more
Would you have left Macy’s if you weren't laid off?
Somehow it seems to me that the layoffs have awakened people to look for better options for themselves. Even before the pandemic, there were many problems and I admit, I came to work completely dissatisfied, but back then I did not feel like changing... — read more
Not all management is horrible
I’ve read a lot of threads where people are bashing on their managers. I’m sure there are plenty of them in the company that leave a lot to be desired. However, in my store our managers (that’s right, plural) have all been exemplary. They’re all... — read more
Might be a stupid question but?

Captains
I've been with the company since 1988.... several years ago I guess you could say the Captain position was the modern day "white flower"... now adays it is all you see. No more supervisors, no more leads, no more assistant managers, but plenty of... — read more
Inclement weather and PTO
Since many stores are closed because of the snow or inclement weather, colleagues are not able to work. Is Macy's allowing colleagues who have PTO use it for days they couldn't work. I hope Macy's does the right thing and allow people to use PTO for... — read more
I'm wondering...
I just have to ask…for those who were laid off from M - would you still be there or would you have moved on by now? Personally - I don’t think you would have moved on. Why else would most of the comments be from former employees who are still angry... — read more
$15 federal minimum wage
$15 federal minimum wage will be set to March 15th. Could be why Macy’s is hiring McCarty and doing a new Hr thing for a possible wage hike ?
Scary thought but is it time to stand up to M?
obligatory I know we're lucky to just have a job spiel It seems like company wide everyone is sick of the bs we shouldn't have to quit (and who wants to be job hunting right now) at what point does macy's just need to do better? Working conditions... — read more
Reviews Time
So we started to write our review and enter comments... if we are so global why are we writing a review on our own areas ??? Meanwhile we are running the whole store !! There are metrics that I can be driving better in my own world.
My day depends on the mood of my manager
It's become hard for me to continuously worry about my manager's mood, and we all know that a lot depends on the manager and his attitude towards us, including whether we will keep the job or not. I can’t stand such a narcissist anymore. I talked... — read more
Playing it smart
I have no illusions about the company. Not here to complain or to put anyone down. I’m just going to say this. I’m ready if my location shuts down, I’m ready for a layoff. I could even quit now and be financially secure until I find something else... — read more
24 billion down to 6 billion
24 billion down to 6 billion in one year. That is a huge loss. !! I did the math and thought if Macy’s went down to 9 billion it would be on its way out. Here we are at 6 billion! They hired a outside company to help with landslides ( McCarty... — read more

People are worried and accept almost everything?
Every day around me I see only frightened workers who have so far failed in their job hunting. The company uses that in various ways and it hurts me a lot. My older colleague agrees to do the hard work, that essentially shouldn’t be hers at all... — read more
Hiding Covid Cases
I work in store management and was surprised by Macy’s HR letting workers return without negative tests or if they were exposed but didn’t have symptoms. They did not follow through with effective contact tracing and managers were encouraged to... — read more

LOA
Is it legal for a manager to try and prevent you from taking LOA?
Feeling worthless?
When I tell people about my situation is at work, everyone usually tells me to leave this job as soon as possible because it is better everywhere than here. If nothing else, the future is safer in some other companies. When I came here to the forum... — read more

Do you feel the situation is getting worse day by day?
I do, it seems to me that the condition is getting worse on a daily basis. Every day in my store the atmosphere is getting more tense. The tension is great and I am sad both for myself and for all those who feel stuck here. I come to work every day... — read more
Is there any reason to stay at Macy's?
Outside of it being a pandemic and people not wanting to be jobless at a time like this, is there one reason that's actually keeping you here? I certainly can't think of one. The pay is lousy, benefits are lousy, hours are ridiculous, managers are... — read more
Where are the solutions?
I think it would be much more productive to look for solutions and share useful tips on job hunting than to be constantly complaining. I know, I’m also annoyed and frustrated by everything that’s going on, but too much complaining just isn’t helpful... — read more
People are exaggerating

Problem: understaffed
