I don’t think the change at the top was for Macy’s to change the course and recover. I don’t see any long-term plan beyond letting the company go down. All we are going to see in coming months is cuts, cuts and more cuts, which means more layoffs... — read more

Hi, I don't mean to sound ignorant, but would someone please explain what each of the acronyms ( OOM, VVM, MBA, SMM, CXM, etc.) stand for and what their role is and what their hierarchy is in each store. Serious question. Thanks

We are so understaffed that we physically can't get everything done. The latest changes are only going to make it worse. Customers are giving up on us and once that happens, no matter what we do they won't be back. If the goal here is to ruin Macy's... — read more
