Jim Cramers worried about Macys
Macy’s, Inc. (NYSE:M) is one of the largest retailers in America. The firm's shares have struggled in 2025 as they have lost 27% year-to-date. The firm's shares have been hit with the double-whammy of troubled sales and the potential impact of... — read more
Optimal store format
I genuinely think that the ideal store size for Macy’s in the future is a mix of larger and small stores! As a shopper, I would want to go to places that have the best selection. The smaller stores in the strip malls are a good strategy on paper, but... — read more

Where has reliability been ?? What changes are coming to that ?
Info please.

Narcissist People Leader Makes Own Rules
I am one of THREE people on my team. I have one coworker who is the same level as me, and then our manager. Myself and my colleague are women, our manager is a cis white man. Our manager is so much of a narcissist and is obsessed with making himself... — read more
Plenty of better options if you step away from retail
After five years folding sweaters and dealing with Karens at Macy's, I took a chance on a warehouse position. Best career move ever. No more fake-smiling at rude customers, no more covering for coworkers who disappear during shifts - just clear tasks... — read more
Hospitality
How's this going over at your store? Literally 5 minutes for this exercise from a booklet this AM about open ended questions. IDK how leaders are supposed to coach people when they have to clean fitting rooms, ring, help customers, merchandise, do... — read more

Supply chain hours cut?
Was told we’d be getting our hours cut on june 1st when all of the people leaders transition into being “leads”, and the former night shift gets rehired. Any validity to this?
Stay optimistic
I was looking at financials for ttl Macy’s business and we are currently up 18.4% to plan and only down 5.5% to LY, YTD and the margin between LY and TY is so small too in sales dollars so this is really incredible and exciting to see. Both Macy’s... — read more

are there any other pay progams other than draw vs commission in furniture.
June inventory
Looks like June inventory is June 22 and 23. I’m not planning on working the 23rd because that’s backstage inventory even though my manager says I have to. Is there any way to get out of it without my store manager getting all over me?
Bye-bye Macy's Money
I think it's sh-i-tty and cheap of Macy's to get rid of MM. It was a nice little pick me up on the rare opportunity that I got it (not a sales colleague) and I imagine it would incentivise people to purchase more. Now we're going to have quarterly... — read more
What's it like being a visual manager these days?
I used to work in visual at Macy's (pre-covid) and saw there was a visual manager job open near me and was wondering if it was worth it to apply. I've heard it's not like it used to be, though.

Bold strategy
So let me get this straight, they're handing all the hours to new hires to keep them from quitting, while the rest of us who've been holding this place together get scraps? Do they really think we'll just sit quietly while being treated like... — read more
Concerns about work environment and motivation
Now I understand how, once upon a time, good managers became just “efficient, good-enough” managers. Trust me—I love my job and genuinely care. I’m not a perfectionist, but I do my best every single day. Lately, though, I’ve been feeling less and... — read more
Stock levels
Why are our selling floors looking so empty and our stockrooms are loaded with brand new merchandise?. As I merchandiser, I was told I could place one of each size on the floor and the rest goes in the stock room. I have one linen size large shirt... — read more
Tariffs
How will the tariffs affect stock levels? Are there many catetgories that wont ship? Are we cutting orders? Anyone not disgruntled have a real answer?
Sh!t show central
The morale in our store is at an all-time low and our store manager is a self righteous, big headed narcissist. No one wants to work here anymore. We have no foot traffic anymore and things are just looking worse by the minute. They’re only putting... — read more
How does a store run with just 2 CXE's??

Give me a rundown on this position. Seems interesting! Sounds like a mix of Receiving and Merchandising but strictly for shoes?
Supply Chain Supervisors going away
No more supply chain supervisors as People leaders, head counts going down as they will now be Leads. They all have to reapply for minimal roles. The pay is less, announcement supposed to be made tomorrow network-wide. Everyone else severance by May... — read more
Retail has become a sh---y industry to work in
Has anyone had better experiences with other retailers? I'm running out of ideas for where to go if I get let go from Macy's. They all seem equally bad to me right now.
Just go
Pack up and move on because staying just isn’t worth the stress. I left a few months ago and I'm finally starting to feel better about myself (thanks Aldi for the lifeline). I didn’t even realize how wound-up and drained I was until I got out. Life... — read more
My store is rundown and dirty

Never felt this hopeless in years
