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?

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.

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.

For SF folks terminated early February and Mar end, have you all got severance? When is it due and will we all get it at same time? What is the delay?
