When is annual enrollment?
Colleagues NOT going forward!!!!
What is the reason you’re not moving forward with Macy’s? Do tell! (; and best of luck out there! Everyone that leaves this company does way better in life!
Corporate lay offs, restructuring or changing of comp levels/bands?
Any info on these things? Few weeks until the end of January and something’s coming but not sure what. Doesn’t sound like last years numbers but thinking the early performance reviews are for targeted layoffs.
Florida Stores
Any stores in Florida on the list?
Inventory prep----Really???
Our store is a disgrace. We have 60 recovery rods, and piles of cr-p at every register, however, we are told to forget about the mess, draw maps, and check for RFID tags. If inventory and customer service are key components, we need to do something... — read more

How are you holding up?
I’m exhausted. My store is managed so poorly that the holiday season has become twice as dreadful as usual.
How does a store closure work?
Is it run by Macy's or a liquidator? Will they xfer some product to other stores?
I hope my store is on the closings list
I don’t want to lose my job, but it’s frustrating that only a handful of us in the entire store actually do any work. The rest spend their days staring at their phones, chatting, and ignoring everything that needs to be done and they keep getting... — read more

I feel like leadership abandoned Macy’s
There’s so little, if any, effort to improve conditions in the stores and revive the company as a whole, that my impression is that we will all be left to hang in the air. I don’t expect anything in the near future but more layoffs and store... — read more
What's your guess?
Well we know every Jan/Feb comes lots of changes. Position changes, new positions that take on the responsibilities of eliminated positions, layoffs. I know they are busy working behind the scenes...but what's the plan? Have you heard anything? And... — read more
Macy's holiday party
My local Macy's is throwing a "holiday party" with food, music, mocktails, and crafts this weekend. I know it's one of the top stores in the metro area, but it's not a F50. Does this mean it's probably right behind the top 50 stores, or is this... — read more
State of your store?
Mine is in bad shape. I’m almost embarrassed with people coming in now more frequently. In any case, I wish for all of us to survive the holiday season, and come out on the other side sane and well.

Cutting hours during holiday?
In all my years at Macy’s I’ve never seen hours cut during the busy season but this seems to be a thing this year, or is it just in my location? People are confused and upset. This is their prime time to make more money and now they’re being asked to... — read more
Fulfillment peeps! How's OneX treating you?

Black Friday Store Visit

Parade Cost Savings
Is it true that in an attempt to save costs for this year's parade, the higher ups will be inflating the balloons by using their own hot air as they talk about how the company is "improving"? And if so, are the rumors true that the NYFD will be on... — read more
New Hires?!?
What is the status with your new hires? We see our new hires at training and then the disappear, forever. I guess collecting unemployment is easier than going to work. Our selling floor population is not much bigger than earlier in the year. This... — read more

Extended Hours
When Macy’s has extended stores hours between Thanksgiving and Christmas, we have more than our normal amount of workers who callout, quit, arrive late or get their schedule changed.
Jan i fo?
Anyone have any intel on region alignments for Jan? Im hearing opposite scenarios: going to two regions. And also adding a fourth region. Disgruntled employees no need to respond. Looking for real info.
Kohls
I was in a Kohls yesterday and the floors were polished and the store was overflowing with merchandise. Simply this is what is wrong with Macy's.
Hoping for a better opportunity before year's end
I’ve been wanting to leave for months, but for now, nothing offers the same great schedule I get here. I could be lucky with my manager but I get a lot of flexibility and that's a big deal to me. It’s not just about the money. That's the only... — read more
Racial slur
I witness a manager make a racist remark and customers also over heard...How can I report this manager without any repercussions???? I'm afraid they will cut my hours. I will. not give anyone my employee number and risk my job.
Schedules
I've worked at Macy's for a few years now during this time we always get our Schedules until the end of the year, but for some reason it's not the case this year. Checked this morning and nothing has changed. Anyone know the reason. Thank you.
morale
The sorority sisters running the stores can demoralize a sales team faster than you can say "G-B". It's a skill, I'll give you that.
This shouldn't be happening
Why do we have to take getting cursed out every day with little to no help from managers? Why is it considered acceptable for us to be abused by rude customers even when we're clearly in the right? I'd leave if I didn't know that most of retail is... — read more
