We made it to Thursday without the sky falling. Let’s keep up the good vibes 😎
My Weds Update - Corporate
Sharing my day if anyone would like to share theirs... Today all Senior Managers were in standard spirits, no doom gloom vibe I had a touch base with my manager and through conversation they said (again) online is doing VERY bad, I asked when did... — read more
Times are changing - will Macy's adapt?
I just think times are changing and the economy is bad. There are tenured employees and Macy's customers that cannot adjust or adapt to the modern retail era and technology.... Retail stores survival depends on how well the company can incorporate... — read more
Vacation time
My question is there a cut off day as colleagues we are allowed to use vacation. I was told today by my people leader that I can’t take the rest of my vacation from 2023. Cuz I have about 2 weeks left. I know some colleagues that are taking the same... — read more
Are there stores that are safe in all of this?
There must be at least some locations that are doing well enough and can claim safety while this is happening. Does anybody know which ones?
There will be changes for sure… but not gloom & doom.
Soooo what I heard, there won’t be any MAJOR store closures, but there will be BIG reorganizations of job titles and job rolls…
Deleted Posts?
I noticed another post was taken down regarding Slick & Kids refresh, does anyone know how why posts are removed?
Happy Tuesday
How’s everyone feeling!
Wednesday Announcement
Get ready for tomorrow.

Retirement or got cut???? 🤔🤔🤔
Calm yous a@#ses down
Y'all are trying to convince yourself something drastic is coming and making s#@t up. Yes, just like every year, there will be some store closings. How can there not be based on all the dead malls we have stores in? Put on your big boy or girl... — read more
False information on this site
Once again, beware, what you are reading in the majority of these posts are falsehoods. Not rumors, or one bit of fact. Individuals or "trolls" stirring the pot. All we do know for certain, there will be store closures, and some downsizing. All... — read more
Friday Night Updates
Post them here! If you saw anything or heard anything!
It’s 5pm 1/3/24 and nothing
No store closures No credible HR involvement in any corporate departments No announcements So, what gives?
Dear Jeff and Toni...
Hoping one of your Assistants read this. Please make the announcements on job cuts. It is difficult to work in an environment where you know an ax is about to drop. Pleading with you to let us know.
All my bosses are on PTO this week
All my bosses in corporate are on PTO. It feels strange because the ones I knew taking vacation were taking it between the holidays and they were supposed to be here this week. It’s making me horribly nervous that they just don’t want to be around... — read more
Let it be over
I was hoping we'd know what's going on by now. I envy those who can stop stressing but I'm not one of them. The longer this lasts the worse it is for me. Just get it over with so I know what to do. Just waiting is unbearable. Do they ever think about... — read more
Nothing happened today
That sounds like good news so does that meant all the mass layoffs Tuesday/Wednesday aren’t credible?
Warn notices
There is a law that companies have to file mass layoffs with the state in advance. So far there are no listings for Macy's at these state sites, but that could change soon. New York - https://dol.ny.gov/warn-notices Ohio -... — read more

Seriously? AI-led hiring process?
Have you ever felt during a job interview that you are talking to uninterested machines? How about trying to convince the actual machine that you are the right person for a job? A Resume Builder survey found 10% of companies currently use, with... — read more
2024 will be better
I'm an optimist and I refuse to enter the new year being all doom and gloom. There are still chances that things will improve and I'm going to believe that this will be the year that happens. And if things really do turn out as bad as some believe... — read more
Small Format going forward?
Does any one know if small format locations are going forward considering all the upcoming changes?
So is this just a fear mongering site?
Is this just a site for people to make up layoff rumors to try and get some information? Nothing here seems credible.
Can we have a thread of what corporate areas are affected?
It would be helpful if those that have heard rumors, whether credible or questionable, could identify what parts of the corporate company are at risk. Saying company wide is likening it to 2020 in my eyes. Please list the parts of the organization... — read more
What kind of severance does Macy’s historically give?
I see all the lay off rumors. If my gut and the rumors are correct, corporate employees will be affected in large numbers soon. What kind of packages does Macys offer to employees part of a mass layoff like we are expecting? Is it a set amount of... — read more

Macy's Schedule Change
Does Macy's have a rule for how many hours or days a manager can change my schedule? I've looked in MyHR and can't find anything. My people leader said 72 hours. I'm in California. I've had my schedule last minute with only 24 hours notice
Stores under $10M annual
Is it still the policy that stores with annual gross under $10M don't have a store manager, but are overseen by the nearest main store manager?
Macy's Layoffs 2024
If the economy turns around, do you anticipate any Macy's layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?
Job Cuts
I’ve heard rumors from my management and from this page. Is anyone willing to share some info besides “wait until next week”? It’s always such a stressful time, and I’ve seen too many cuts and know most management just plays d-mb. — read more
RFID Tag Up
Any other stores wasting time RFIDing items that WON'T be scanned during inventory??? This is stupid. And anyone know WHY they're keeping track of RFID error rate? As long as the store gets RFID who the F cares what the error % is. The stickers... — read more

Rumor has it corporate restructuring and job cuts are coming, especially on the digital side. If your gut is telling you to be concerned, save any personal documents and start looking for other opportunities. Best of luck to everyone as we work... — read more
Layoffs are coming
It's a matter of when, not if, but we know layoffs are coming. I'm curious where people are applying. I'm not finding any retailers that are not currently having major issues that are not different to ours. I don't want to end up in a similar... — read more
