Quality of Life at Macys

I love how they talk about flexible schedules and quality of life at Macys. Quality of life should not include having to work EVERY FREAKING WEEKEND. Unless you use all your vacation days or promise your first born to an associate to switch with you, which is rare, you WILL WORK EVERY WEEKEND. Captains in my store get a weekend a month off. Why can't the automatic system do the same for Selling associates. Its ridiculous. I don't expect to have every weekend off but one weekend off a month would be nice. Cmon MACYS we have no air conditioning so at least give us this!!!!


Something to watch for

How and when is the May Beat scheduled. It's typically scheduled about a month out and we're already at the end of April without that. If we get an invite in a few days for one at the end of May, you can probably assume that nothing super dramatic is planned in May. If it comes out late and is a short notice beat scheduled for just after earnings you might go hmmmmm even though nothing is certain. This is not a prediction. It's just something to watch for.


upcoming forecast for our schedules

Since these managers are using bullsh-t excuses about forecast on our schedules and when to take our breaks. Guess they can forecast when my next pi-s and sh-t breaks are gonna be? Cause you know.. my body works oh so well on the bullsh-t random breaks they want you to go on. Perhaps the managers will receive a special goodie bag and can forecast on some lemonade and brownies.


Why Our 6‑Month Schedule Is So Confusing

We get a schedule every six months but nobody ever says it’s set in stone, so the bosses can change stuff whenever they feel like it. That makes it really hard to know what to work on or even plan anything outside of work. The “perks” and rules keep getting moved around too, and it just feels like nothing is solid. I think we need a clear time slot that stays the same and a simple way to tell us when things actually change.


My manager informed me to be prepared for tomorrow

After several hours of trying to figure out my situation, and finding this site, I decided to post here.

My manager informed me that I would be meeting with his manager on Wednesday to be informed that I will be let go due to the shift to India. He said there was several staff in this small team that would be let go. I'm still reeling from this. I know the writing has been on the wall since Mike's announcement, but it hit super hard today.

I don't have a meeting scheduled with this person for tomorrow, and don't have a good relationship with this director. He is an a-s. However, all my reviews are very positive. How can this happen ?

I guess my manager has trust in me and it is not in his control, but WTF, my reviews are excellent, and the India team has no clue what I do as there is no principal engineers.


Seems like layoffs are pretty minimimal this quarter

Usually - at least the last 6 years - layoffs have been rampant starting end of 4th and in 1st quarter. Haven't heard much about it lately, and not even on here. I'm wondering if it's because Maverick is so far behind schedule and/or they are now under the 100k employee mark?


Who decides the training catalog?

What an inordinate amount of training. There's 1-2 literally due every week. Sometimes it's 6-7 per month. In Dec alone, I have done 6 so far. No one learns anything like this. Some id--t somewhere is checking the boxes, and the entire firm is going along with it. What is this show for? Regulators? I've been at other banks. No one has such a busy training schedule


A friend's brother...

A friend of mine's brother coaches college sports. The nature of that job means getting 'let go' every 3-5 years, always around the holidays. It's a brutal job. My friend lost their job a few years back and called her brother for advice. She told me this...

Routine is key. You're going to want to spend every moment of every day looking for your next job, fight that urge. Your new job is finding your best job. To be your best, you need rest, you need down time, you need exercise. Take 3-4 days to lounge and de-stress. Then make a list of small house projects. Then put your schedule together. Your day should include no more than 4 hours looking for your next job. It needs to include a workout and something for your family. When those things are done each day, don't feel guilty for watching TV or enjoying your free time. Stay positive, we all get the silent treatment from potential employers along the way.

Hope it helps.
