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

Black Friday - Dead Quiet
So here we stand. Black Friday. 7 people waiting when we opened. We've done less than 1k in sales. It's over, folks.
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

Macy's Layoffs 2021
Do you think there will be Macy's Layoffs 2021? Any news or rumors?
Macy's will survive, but just be a lot smaller.
I wish all the stores could stay open, but we know operating 800 stores just isn't feasible anymore. Career jobs at the store level are basically gone. Any smaller locations will eventually be on the chopping block if not already. Macys will... — read more
