Go watch the classic Xmas movie miracle on 34 street. Based in 1930/40s.
Christmas Eve guy, where are you?
Missing your post. Any info on what's coming in February?

So our Regional meeting was postposed from Jan To Feb, so all the correct regional/divisional people would be attending to learn the 2021 strategy. This means one of two things: either they are adding additional positions on the regional or... — read more
Here's an idea
How about Macy's gives a survey to employees where they ask if they thought about quitting in the last year. If the answer is yes, they need to ask how many of those have been actively looking for a new job. In my store that would be everybody. I... — read more
Yesterday was rocking.
Yesterday was very busy....but product is low.... everything is going to be ok....have faith.
Direct deposit
I lost my job at Macy’s in June when they laid off a lot of us and tonight I got a direct deposit of 0.01. Wtf is that? Anyone else get a penny and a small amount?
Holidays and unemployment - how to be happy?
This is the first year in my six years of work that I welcome the holidays with cramps in my stomach. I think that much better workers than me were fired, but there are also those who worked much less efficiently than me that remained. Although I'm... — read more
I've Visited 3 Macy's in 3 Cities This Month
Empty shelves, empty stores, traffic that reminds me of January, not December. I counted less than 10 Macy's bags in each store, and I was looking. This is prime shopping season too. 20 years in retail, seen stores come and go, and all I can say... — read more
And another one bites the dust
It’s confirmed. The Macy’s store in Lima Mall is officially closing in the spring. Good luck to those that are going to be impacted. I hope you land on your feet when the time comes and have saved. If not, start saving now. Job market is rough out... — read more
Empty Shelves

Citrus Heights Macys closing?
Rumor or true?
Full time down to 24hrs a week ?
Is that true ?
Respect is a 2-way street
Why can’t management understand that the way you treat your employees will determine how productive we will be? At my location we are treated horribly yet at the same token, we are expected to give/show respect for them in return. This creates a... — read more
Only jobs open?
I notice all around the country only job open is Loss prevention? so ether these guys/gals are bailing in droves or they are gearing up for something else...
What is our chance of bankruptcy?
Realistically? It feels like things have been going in that direction for a while now. And while I know it doesn't automatically mean liquidation, bankruptcy does come with guaranteed store closures and many layoffs and hour cuts. I'm just trying to... — read more
2021 store closing list or news

Blizzard and COVID
There is a blizzard on east coast and COVID guess what ? Macy’s is open !!!
Job board 2
All jobs went down to only loss prevention everything else is not there. They already hit the brakes it’s only mid December you can tell what’s gonna happen next They might only need loss prevention for liquidation purposes
Barely staying afloat
Just read a post on here about anyone who pushed back on the last round of reductions because of what it did to workload are now on the chopping block for the next round of layoffs. How do we know that any directors and above that pushed back on... — read more
The experiences of those who left?
One of the biggest challenges is that so many of the best leaders didn’t make it through the last round of layoffs. Any leaders that pushed back on the huge number of reductions and raised the question of workload on those who would remain were... — read more
My thoughts on them giving you a package
My thoughts on them giving you a package. Is if they offered you a package or a new position it clearly means the long term cost of what you do doesn’t match what is to come. So if they offered it to you once most likely you will be gone with the... — read more
Job Board
noticed Job board is being cut drastically,,,, take a look
Division Teams
So anyone hear what is happening with Division teams? Down to a DVP and DVM. Rumor is Ops/Ap coming back? Sounds crazy considering all tie cuts.
Night before Xmas
Where is the Night before Xmas poster? Is this the year he didnt make the cut?
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
Corporate Lay-offs
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
Employees Are Valued?
+Curfews in place, we close at curfew +Mall is closed, we are open hours past that & no customers. Well I counted 6 at 10 +No AP and no Mall Security, females closing down the building and leaving alone I feel so valued and safe at... — 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
Any news on of stores are closing next year?
We haven't heard anything on if we're still closing come next year or not. Anyone heard any news on what the company is doing?
Inventory!
For the stores that do their own inventory, do you think it will go Smoothly?
Well, well, well...
We are among the five worst run companies in the country. I'm happy to see that at least Macy's management is being recognized for exactly what it is - a horrible management that is running this company into the... — read more
Support being forced to work in sales
I have a question, is it every store or just certain stores where support colleagues are being threatened to lose their jobs if they say they don’t feel comfortable working at a register? They are making all support train on the register even though... — read more
No longer a place of growth and has nothing to offer

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
