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.

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
