Thread regarding Macy's Inc. layoffs

AST in reopened stores.

Hey fellow AST. What has changed with the reopening of your store? We’re you allowed to bring back your entire team or was it just the ASTS that returned? Did managers return or just some? Has your store begun the lay off process for any of your colleagues?

A lot of colleagues are scared. Some people are willing to come back to work because unemployment hasn’t come through for them. The waiting game is silently tormenting people. I don’t know if it is true but the word is that Macy’s will be waiting till October to do layoffs due to the rules of the government funding. Why should we have to wait. Tell us now so we can move on with our lives.

If we get another "wave" (scare tactic terminology) then we keep pushing forward and going about our lives. Let the ones scared or vulnerable stay home and let the rest of us live and work. The virus will be here forever and we can't shut down like this again. If we do, it will be the end of Macy's and many other companies.

The October rumor came based off of what our governor said in regards of a second wave of coronavirus expected in the fall.
I live in New York and this has been what’s on the news. Idk, lets say we do get a second wave in the fall. What becomes of holiday hiring? Christmas shopping? Just asking opinions cause I’m going crazzzzzyyyy being home lol

Layoff in October is completely counter productive to the entire fourth quarter strategy. Layoff at the same time you are trying to hire for holiday? Oh, please. Where are you hearing this rumor?

ASTS is the only one from that team returned right now in our store, she's helping us run the building since we are so short staffed. I'm a sales manager, we didn't call back three of our executives this go-around.

No one is talking much about the people who refused to come back when called.
I guess more to come about that. Eventually each will have to decide what to do when Macy's says come back or you are effectively resigning your job. It's coming.
