Supply chain hours cut?
Was told we’d be getting our hours cut on june 1st when all of the people leaders transition into being “leads”, and the former night shift gets rehired. Any validity to this?
Stay optimistic
I was looking at financials for ttl Macy’s business and we are currently up 18.4% to plan and only down 5.5% to LY, YTD and the margin between LY and TY is so small too in sales dollars so this is really incredible and exciting to see. Both Macy’s... — read more

June inventory
Looks like June inventory is June 22 and 23. I’m not planning on working the 23rd because that’s backstage inventory even though my manager says I have to. Is there any way to get out of it without my store manager getting all over me?
Bye-bye Macy's Money
I think it's sh-i-tty and cheap of Macy's to get rid of MM. It was a nice little pick me up on the rare opportunity that I got it (not a sales colleague) and I imagine it would incentivise people to purchase more. Now we're going to have quarterly... — read more
What's it like being a visual manager these days?
I used to work in visual at Macy's (pre-covid) and saw there was a visual manager job open near me and was wondering if it was worth it to apply. I've heard it's not like it used to be, though.

Bold strategy
So let me get this straight, they're handing all the hours to new hires to keep them from quitting, while the rest of us who've been holding this place together get scraps? Do they really think we'll just sit quietly while being treated like... — read more
Concerns about work environment and motivation
Now I understand how, once upon a time, good managers became just “efficient, good-enough” managers. Trust me—I love my job and genuinely care. I’m not a perfectionist, but I do my best every single day. Lately, though, I’ve been feeling less and... — read more

Sh!t show central
The morale in our store is at an all-time low and our store manager is a self righteous, big headed narcissist. No one wants to work here anymore. We have no foot traffic anymore and things are just looking worse by the minute. They’re only putting... — read more

Retail has become a sh---y industry to work in
Has anyone had better experiences with other retailers? I'm running out of ideas for where to go if I get let go from Macy's. They all seem equally bad to me right now.
Just go
Pack up and move on because staying just isn’t worth the stress. I left a few months ago and I'm finally starting to feel better about myself (thanks Aldi for the lifeline). I didn’t even realize how wound-up and drained I was until I got out. Life... — read more

Never felt this hopeless in years
I’ve been with Macy’s for a long time. Even during the rough patches, there was always a sense that someone was trying to turn things around. But lately, it feels like neither we nor Macy’s have a future. It’s as if everyone’s given up on the idea of... — read more

The cuts in hours have made working here pointless
I don’t know what’s going on or how many people are affected, but my hours were reduced so much that what I earn isn’t even worth the effort of coming in. I’ve been told things might change soon, but that honestly sounds like bullsh-t. I’ve started... — read more
This isn’t sustainable
After the last round of cuts, they basically stopped hiring. Now we’re supposed to do the work of two or three people like it’s no big deal. I get paid for one job. That’s all I should be doing.
