Anyone struggling with the management in their store? The managers at my store choose very specific people to do all the store events and move around when scheduling is messed up but won’t utilize the other 100 employees who don’t do anything. We... — read more
Loyalty
If they want us to open more credit, then stop with the discount codes! If you want the discount, you get the card or bronze. Full stop.
No heat
Can someone tell why we have to work in a store so cold that all the colleagues wear their coats all day while managers sit in their offices with their space heaters...

Could more closures happen this year?

Culture defining moment webcast
Are they serious? That should have been an email. Very wasteful use of time after months of buildup on what this was going to be. I looked around at my colleagues and all of us were like “aren’t we already doing these things?” It was pretty... — read more

I was not invited to the announcement. Any news about RTO?
What was the Feb 13 announcement?
Can someone who was there or on the meeting let us know what the Feb 13 announcement is? Not everyone was invited.
New Culture?
Why push culture initiatives when the culture itself is deeply broken? A tagline or a new crop of leaders throwing around buzzwords won’t fix the mess. Stop hiring external talent with a “vision” to make aimless strategic decisions that disrupt the... — read more

Culture-Defining Moment
Does anyone have an idea what this meeting is about? It includes corporate and retail workers.
Executive Leadership Scheduling
Does anyone know what people leaders are supposed to work at the store level? We have a lot of unfairness going on, which doesn’t align with the company’s direction a couple years ago.
Barbie Cameron named Chief Stores Officer
What are your thoughts? How do you feel about this.
Done? Start fresh ?
Is the blood bath complete? Didn’t noticed any adjustments to sales floor staffing. Are we exempt from the changes?
Corporate employees RTO 5 days!!??!
I’m hearing rumors about this and if true, then I guess they really don’t care about culture and performance. Whether Tony Spring and Macy’s likes it not, the world changed after Covid. There is literally no need to work in an office 5 days a week... — read more
MCCS back in office?
I wonder if credit and customer service be RTO 5 days a week starting Feb 13 as part of the announcements?

Any information? I heard that it is being eliminated and not a focus for this year.
Day 1 of 2025
Hmmm start of the FY…. What do we think the news will be? Here’s what I hope is not the case: Interim Chief of Stores named permanently…she is horrible and a nightmare. Would rather have Marc back… put Standis..in role
AP is only hired at stores with suspected internal theft

2/13 Announcements
Anyone know what this announcement is about? I was told every managers have to be there. Rumors or real?
Contractors
They should cut ties with these contractors. What good have they really done? Week after week, our reports are always breaking, not uploading, missing data, not being sent on time. I’m so tired of submitting tickets. It’s always something. Why are we... — read more
Calm Down
I think everyone needs to take a breath and stop creating worst case scenarios inside your heads. No one knows what’s in store. Speculating and creating rumors doesn’t help your mental health or anyone else’s. It’s fine to share information but only... — read more
