Just get another job in retail if you want to stay in a dying profession

Closing "under performing" stores... really?
Just to clarify not all the stores that were part of the first round were "under performing" . A lot had to do with how valuable the real estate was and how fast Macy's can make a quick $$$ or $$$$$! I know for a fact a few were beating plan from... — read more
