Macy's WAS a very good place to work
It was a very good place to work. After reopening from Covid and laying off 4000 people and combining roles , it changed. Best talent left or was let go. Now when Macys hires , most stores can only get mediocre or worse people. The stores have no... — read more

Worried about hours reduction
If my hours are reduced, I might stay here for a while, but certainly not if Macy's expects me to do almost the same amount of work as before the reduced hours. However, I believe that this is exactly what is happening, they want to get more for... — read more

Company deleting open shifts??
Is the Company really deleting open shifts when the new schedules come out on Friday’s or are they being deleted at store level?? Seems awfully strange to delete a shift before they give anyone a chance to pick them up…..hmm
Reducing hours
I wonder how long more they are going to be reducing hours. It’s frustrating to be alone in the morning during the VIP sale. The coverage just sucks.

Stay under your hours budget!
I do not understand. Most stores are under a tremendous amount of pressure to keep within our budgeted hours, however, once a regional visit or an M.M. visit is announced, the stores being visited spend, spend and spend more! We are called out... — read more

Culture of Macy's
It still surprises me whenever someone says that there used to be a different culture here because it's hard for me to imagine it. According to some, it actually used to be nice to work here?
New Part Time and Full Time Guarantee
Is it true that Macys has lowered its hourly guarantee for its hourly employees? Part time 8 hours / 1 day a week Full time 28 hours / 4 days
Schedule Drops on Friday
In the past, the schedule usually drops at 7AM on Fridays. Does any know if the drop down time has changed?
Associate Reverse Logistics Sales?
New job title? Associate Reverse Logistics Sales? all this sounds to me like they are gonna chop all district teams and do stuff at store level
Curbside
I just read that Target is going to start doing returns at curbside and some can even can pick up Starbucks curbside, by the end of summer. Oh Lordy, God help us if Macys starts this. Nightmare.

Sr Manager Inventory and Sales
Sr Manager Inventory and Sales? New job title? anyone know what this is?
New Return Policy
Looks like Macys did change the return policy to 30 days for most items. Not sure how long Macys started this, they just posted it in my area. I’m sure managers will just have us override everything. So annoying.
PROJECT Z
Cultural mindset or more Kool Aide Go!
Layoffs at the store level
I don't think layoffs at the store level are even possible. I don't know about the rest of you, but we are down to a skeleton crew as it is. If they remove more people, they might as well lock the doors and throw away the key. It will not be possible... — read more

Anyone else have d-mb management ????
My store likes to make up rules as they go and have decided or actually lied and said availability is no longer an option. Meaning you can’t have a set day off anymore, you can work up to 5 evenings and you’re not guaranteed a weekend off ever... — read more
When???
When is everything going to be announced? I feel like it keeps getting pushed back and there's so much information not shared to salaried management.
Macys app acting weird?
Is anyone else having issues with the Macy’s app? The in-store map feature is gone, which I love, and there’s a lot of weird glitches and performance issues. I’ve seen sites like this act this way when they are hacked.
