401K Match?
After reading today that the delayed 401k company match has been moved from November to September, I am curious if the company will still match our 2019 contributions if we withdrew funds during furlough? Any in-site here is helpful!

I will keep repeating this until they get it through their heads
Macy's DOES NOT CARE about our health and safety. Why do you have signs everywhere saying masks required if we are not allowed to enforce it?? First the policy is no one says a word, then the policy is we can politely remind them that masks are... — read more

Thanksgiving
Why is this still up for debate?! Is JG really going to keep us open on Thanksgiving during COVID SEASON of all things?! What is the hold up on getting a decision on this. This should be a no brainer!!
Wrong people were called back!
90% of the people (most older with years of service) who gave the store everything they had through rain or sunshine were not called back. They were the people us younger folks leaned on for knowledge and guidance not our irresponsible, bias... — read more
Are layoffs done for now?
I really hope they are, since we're constantly understaffed as it is. I'm not sure they have anybody else left to cut other than just closing us.
Experience is a liability here
The longer you've been at Macy's the better your chance of being laid off. I don't know of any other company where experience is a liability. Instead of feeling safe for being here for nearly two decades, I'm petrified every single day that I might... — read more
Having Trouble with the “Talent Management “ layoffs
The criteria is a secret that doesn’t have to be revealed. I know absolutely one colleague with lower performance, less service, and less reliability (but younger) that they kept and let me go. I had a high performance rating (as of the last one they... — read more
Part time LP
Macy's may be posting a lot of AP jobs, but they won't be able to keep anyone on the maximum hours that they're working them on. Part time AP at my 'core' store is only allowed to work 12 hours a week and no more than four days. Who is going to stay... — read more
I hate this company!
I don’t think I’ve ever worked at a sh–tier place. I got a new manager in February and lost the best manager I’ve ever had. To be honest, I think my new manager is completely incompetent. She has no idea what she is doing. She does not care about us... — read more
Sales
Just wondering if anyone out there knows how sales have been with the government stimulus ending. Sounds like people are spending less on groceries. Are they actually spending at Macys?
What are your predictions for the holiday season?
What do you think sales are going to look like? I think they’re banking on a great holiday season to pay off some debt from what they lost so far this year. I don’t think it’s going to happen.
Flex
Is there any way for a flex associate to get benefits? I was a part time associate with limited benefits and then eliminated to flex with none. Flex is a greedy excuse
What was the Neighborhood Store added in July?
I was looking at the Macy's website recently and I noticed the number of neighborhood stores went from 96 to 97. From what I can see on the Web Archive it was added around July and I'm trying to figure out what store it is so I can add it to my list... — read more

Smoke and Mirrors
Macy’s just made corporate employees take a “culture survey” and it was mostly questions about how well they’ve been handling racial discrimination and BLM. They survey was such bs and it was just Macy’s pandering bc all they care about is their... — read more

Severance package. Really
