Macy's is begging for a Class Action Law Suite
It was stated that reliability would be based on a 13 week average beginning around June 2nd (the actual date kept changing). We began being penalized on the 3rd week. For about 3 weeks we have not been able to print our schedules at the register... — read more
Sr. Dir. here to give highlights and answer Q/A
While some of the post I have been reading are negative there are a few that have some valuable feedback potential. One of the "good things" I see on here are comments and "REAL" feelings that we don't see on the engagement surveys. This gives vital... — read more
It is now clear the transition has been poorly planned
Here we are a couple months after we first heard the news. Those of us who stayed on with NCR can now clearly see that the transition has been poorly planned. System integration is weak, our new management doesn’t understand the business or the... — read more

Macy’s
Macy’s can’t keep workers in the store. It has a high turn over rate. Plus I think they will get rid of store managers in the next year
Is Macy's better or worse than other retailers?
