I am having difficulties nailing down the details of the recall phases and our rights and the consequences of our choices. My store manager told me that if I refuse to return for the first round, I am still considered on furlough and... — read more 

So what’s next ?

It's very stressful to wait...

The 3 or so Macy's in Montgomery county MD will be closed until further notice. Will this mean the stores will permanently close?

UBS estimates the number of U.S. retail stores will fall to 782,000 over the next five years from 883,000 last year. That is a far bigger culling than during the 2008 recession, when 28,455 stores closed. “Going back over the last 20 years, the... — read more 

How can I not feel sad about my store closing? Worked with Macy's for over two years and it is one of my first jobs. I was a dedicated and passionate associate and for what? To get an email in the morning that the store will be closing for good.

Are they bringing back AST associates or supervisors or both?

I have been filing for unemployment since end of March in Ct but have not received anything Yet. Website says Claim is pending determination (code 30) cannot reach anyone by phone - anyone else having problems ??

My last day with Macy's was 3/31 and I signed my severance paperwork on 4/2. Macy's said severance would be processed within 4-6 weeks of signature. Today is exactly 6 weeks. Just curious if anyone else is in the same boat or if others with similar... — read more 

In the stores that have opened, what positions are being brought back from furlough initially? FT? PT? 8030? Which executives?

I was wondering if any of the part-timers have been hired back? I have a hunch that the majority of PT will be laid-off because of restrictions on store hours (11-7). Any insight is greatly appreciated.

Has anyone heard about Macy's maintaining Health Insurance after the end of May? I saw that open enrollment starts 5/21 - 6/4 so I'm assuming we're still covered going forward, even if still furloughed?

how long does the recall process last is it 72 hours.

I've heard many horror stories about people swarming other reopened stores without any regard for safety (no masks, no gloves, no staying apart) and constantly hurling abuse at employees for no reason whatsoever. Is the same thing happening at... — read more

What’s happening with the stores that are supposed to be liquidating Right now? (Commack NY and East Harrisburg PA). Will the liquidation be postponed or will they not reopen those stores at all and not liquidate them.

Will Macy's layoff furloughed employees that aren't needed or keep us as furloughed? Or, do you think we'll be allowed to choose to be laid off instead of forced to quit?

when did you get notified to go back to work my store is opening 5/18 and no news at all from anyone.

HOPE for Macys! PRAY for JCP what will we do without them?

Anyone heard anything about when they’ll start bringing these roles back?

because the top executive slate has naive milk, honey and cheese like attitude towards ever changing retail landscape. They engage in cozy fireside chat with friendly media. Macy's should be acquired by the tractor company.

I still have not received my unemployment benefits and need the EAN for Macy’s in Michigan. Does anyone have this? Thank you

I think reopening as soon as next week is highly irresponsible towards employees. The number of infected people is rising, not dropping. There is no indication that this thing is even close to being over. So why put all of our lives in danger?... — read more 

Are they opening the furniture department and what is it like how are they cleaning furniture and mattresses and how many colleagues were brought back

The Macy's at the Lakeforest mall

For the stores that reopened just curbside, is there any talk on what will happen with Backstage? I’m assuming they will open when stores all open for good.
