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... — read more
Manager’s behavior
Does anyone (I’m sure you do lol) have managers and store managers who speak rudely and speak down to their associates? What have you done about it? Really sick of the behavior in my store!
Path to growth
So Staten Island achieved the path to growth when will it appear in the check?
Do layoffs happen outside of January?
I know that store closings happen throughout the year, but what about layoffs? I've heard they happen each and every January but can't find much about outside of that.
I feel so defeated. The shoplifters won.
Ever since the directive has shifted to no use of force my store has been getting robbed blind. I’m an ap manager and I as well as my team has to sit and watch the thieves ransack our store and there is literally nothing we can do about it other... — read more
Changes to CXM and MBA roles?
Has anyone been told or heard anything about changes to CXM or MBA roles? Hearing something about a possible “change in responsibilities” coming?
Low pay, no balance, and zero boundaries
The pay is awful and they expect your whole life to revolve around this place. Days off don't mean much when they call you in anyway. Work life balance isn't a thing here. It's exhausting.
Beauty extra discount for retirees
Can someone please post when the beauty extra discount is? The big event that is extra 30 off? I'm a retiree and my beauty colleague never calls me for this event. TIA

No more “Captain”?
Looks like the “Captain” Zone has changed to “Untethered Selling”…. Anyone have factual information on what exactly is changing in this role?
Untethered selling ?
No more "Captain" positions ? If so I'm glad! All the Managers do is over use everyone while under paying you!
Stores without Beauty Merchandisers!!!
How’s it going in the stores without their beauty merchandisers?! Are the cosmetics associates doing the job? Visual captain?! Is stuff getting done?! Why would anyone think it was a great idea to cut them? If anything there should be a full time and... — read more
Who's ready for 4 days in office!
By this time next year, should we expect it to move to 5? Anyone jumping ship?
Receiving
Does anyone have the job description for the receiving captain position? Looking at some job postings and curious what it actually entails at your store. What do you do besides fulfillment and working the truck deliveries?
Lack of Communication
As of today’s end, our department has still not received any communication from leadership regarding compensation. The ongoing lack of clear leadership and consistent communication continues to be our department’s most significant concern.
What if Marshall Field's had been retained for the midwest ?
What if Marshall Field's had been retained ? There was so much good will that was accumulated. Since the conversion to Macy's, Chicago and mid-western stores are quite "different" to say the least. After pivoting, they discovered that there was a... — read more
There's life after Macy's
A good life. I was so used to that place that I stayed way too long when I could have been working at a place that has better pay, is actually staffed well, and doesn't have managers who get off on yelling at the rest of us. Give it a try, folks... — read more

Is this the norm at Macy's??
There are no paper towels to dry your hands with inside the employee bathrooms and in the break room. No hand soap to wash your hands. The employee bathrooms are filthy...the floor is black. It's disgusting to eat your lunch inside the store and... — read more
Hospitality

How do we keep carrying ugly inventory? Stuff that nobody wants and is straight dollar store quality. Who is sourcing all these cr-p items? Search Nike shoes and it’s 80% ugly tjmaxx stuff. Can we fire the team who keeps buying ugly sh-t nobody... — read more
A write up for not getting credits?
I guess this would be a question for management ,MBA that are out there if you are top seller in a department, but you don’t get as many credits as they want. Can they threaten to write up that person saying that productivity is not met? can’t ask HR... — read more

I volunteer my location to be closed
We make good money, have great foot traffic, but just a few of us are keeping things running. The others don't give a damn and all they do is pretend to be busy until they can leave. I'm tired of making money for people like that. Close us down. I'll... — read more
