Its odd that our jobs instore has more to do with Visits...than Sales.
Its odd that Regional and Divisional teams are so comfortable disrupting...than supporting.
Its suspicious that those same people are just allowed to get it WRONG time and time again.
Granted, I work for Ga/AL/Tn Region (the absolute worst in the Country btw).
I cannot WAIT for my Severance.
@OP i’ve been retired for almost 10 years. I see nothing has changed at all. I worked at the district / regional level every pyramid head competed against each other and no value was ever added. Just unnecessary work created for the stores..
When is the Barbie visit in Texas? My store manager got pulled on a business trip. It’s November, why pull anyone out of stores? Unless it’s a meeting for the closing stores leadership.
@1j2 Speaking of frivolous, wonder how much they spent on: Plants, poster signage, Sale signage, lightbox graphics and...wooden planks. Just to appease whats just a cheap Value Shopper.
Backstage is keeping our store afloat lol
DCMV is a pretty solid division team, they are pretty helpful. We just have a sh---y store manager that is more concerned with her peers and the team than her own colleagues. “The STM thrives off of being acknowledged and puffed up it’s so disgusting. They are more concerned with putting on a show, spending money on frivolous things than paying their managers and colleagues. Probably because the money will go to them as their bonus.
Stores in north Texas sending folks down to Austin for Barbie’s visit.
The sheer amount of Dollars in Last Act bursting in everyones Stockroom is indicative of the cluster fu-k of our Regional teams!!
The company is reverting back to what it was in 2018-19, a very heavy, suffocating region/district control structure, who add no value to anyone working in store and who justify their jobs through the control structure, visits and endless emails. We smartly dismantled this mess in 2020 and over 6 years have slowly built it back.
Completely agree with your statement. Let stores focus on driving sales and taking care of the customer versus putting on a show for division and regional teams.
The customer - the one who uses their hard earned dollars to support M - is never the focus. The “dog and pony show” that is the Regional/Divisional teams is always at the forefront of everything done in store. And if they were to get it right every time, why would they be needed? Just asking……….
its simple ... macys is imploding itselfs to be sold off as real estate..
