Covid at Macy's...
Macy’s continues to say that they are for the safety of our colleagues and customers. Truth is, their actions speak differently. The face masks they provide with the star are NOT approved by the FDA so you are still at risk if you wear them. Our... — read more

Just wondering if anyone has heard any talk about additional corporate lay-offs. I’ve heard from some people in buying and planning positions even Ecommerce, that their workload is unmanageable and people are working 12-14 hours a day. That’s crazy... — read more

Maybe there is hope after all
I admit that the company has been losing revenue, but as the below article states our losses are receding. I don’t know if it will stabilize but I can only hope. Wouldn’t it be surprising if M survives and it pisses off the naysayers who want to see... — read more
Give us a break
I love how people who used to work for Macy's tell us to “leave while you can” or “get out now.” You actually think it’s that easy to “just quit” when we have bills to pay? I’m not talking about credit card bills, or some stupid c-ap. I’m talking... — read more

Digital sales not helping
Why doesn’t it surprise me that Macy’s found itself on the list of five American companies that fared worst in the pandemic? This is especially interesting to me: Digital sales “penetrated” at 38% of comparable store sales, which means physical... — read more
Malls are not needed
Just walked thru a few malls. This is the worst Christmas season I ever saw. Which brings me to the thought of malls are not needed. So long as the older population can learn to order online unless you need it today ( but that feature will sure... — read more

You gotta wake up

Do the math
5 billion not million being cut from 800 stores is a cut of 1.8 million per store . That is basically nuking everyone in a store. If you cut a store manager that is only 100k off the tab. If you get rid of OVs that’s only 60-70k off the tab. You... — read more

Thanksgiving Curbside Wasted Time
Today was disappointing with curbside. We got time and a half to stand around for 10 hours. I much would have rathered to stay home and spend time with my husband. Pretty sure expenses totally ate up sales.
If the situation does not change after the holidays ....
it will be too much to bear! Outside of letting the seasonal help go, I can’t imagine cutting back staff any more than the company already has. Only about 40% of our store’s employees were brought back following the spring furlough. Unless the... — read more
