Outside of it being a pandemic and people not wanting to be jobless at a time like this, is there one reason that's actually keeping you here? I certainly can't think of one. The pay is lousy, benefits are lousy, hours are ridiculous, managers are terrible people, customers are even worse... What's there to stay for?

It’s no discounts unless you pay off balances in full every month. Another lie they sell us
@4fhr+19kbQL5E harsh but lowkey true lol
I'm a seasonal employee and I'm glad my time is almost up. Macy's is a piece of sh– and all you other poor people still working there to make a living are losers. Sorry not sorry for your broke a–.
Employee discount lol
Keeps a roof over my head and I have insurance.
No
Besides the financial need stuff, I swear there's a Macy culture in which we just can't walk away even though we KNOW it's better out there. I have so many co-workers who know they could go to Target or McDonald's and make more money bit just won't do it. Every time I think I can't do it any more, that I'm gonna put my head through the wall if I stay any longer, when I go to apply to something, I suddenly get this scared nostalgic feeling that it's not so bad, I'm happy enough, and then I go on with my life until it gets bad again. I don't get it, it's some sort of Macy spell.
The reason I have stayed is that I needed the money. I have always been part-time and this supplements my full time job. Sick husband, mortgage to pay, kids in school...everyone has a reason why they are here. It has changed so much, especially the last year. I used to actually enjoy going to work. I can't say that anymore.
Regarding the managers - the managers that are left in my store are all very nice and as helpful as they can be. That wasn't always the case. Some of the c-appy ones are gone now. My manager runs all over the place and is hardly ever in the department. She works her butt off. I hope they appreciate her.
"Managers are terrible people"
Nah we are in the same boat as you and it is hard for us to hide and hold back our disdain and true feelings anymore. I go to work everyday and put on a show and a smiley face behind mask to try ad make people feel better or more secure. It s—s I come home exhausted mentally everyday from being fake. The start of the down turn was Nov 2019 and it just has snowballed from there.
But we celebrate "diversity"! That's all that matters, right?
