Staff presence is actually worse

Macys IT Layoffs
They want us to feel worthless
They want us to feel easily replaceable. I think the biggest job of most managers here is to make employees feel as worthless as possible, no matter how much work they do. My manager asked me “what do I think I am worth to this company”, with the... — read more

Stores are understaffed, the company very obviously has a problem with hiring because this is no longer an attractive workplace, and what does our leadership do? They experiment and make decisions that make the remaining good employees go looking... — read more

Overflowing with fitting room?
How many stores are drowning in fitting room? We can't keep up with it, we have about 200 rods. We're running out of room to hide it. We've also run out of rods for the trucks and they've started throwing fitting room on fixtures in storage areas... — read more

Why does that frustrate you?
I don't mind that the new hires are paid almost the same as those of us who have been here for several years, but I see that many here are indignant about it. I don't think we would be paid much more even if newbies were paid less. So... why all the... — read more
