I think this new ISM will be in effect long enough for all the long tenured employees with benefits and vacation to quit. The stores will be full of earphone wearing associates who don’t lift their eyes off their phones. I have already seen it in my... — read more 

does anyone remember the final days of sears? how bad things got? how lack of employees and people who have moved on knowing what was going to happen? How about Kmart? doesn't it all look like macys at this point?

Can you even advertise ISM shifts? I saw that the area the shifts are listed under is not even in the pick up shifts. When you go to pick up shifts, it’s the same as before mens, childrens, housewares, etc. There’s no generalized selling area. So... — read more 

What is you was the CEO of Macys? And you knew hyperinflation and goods was all gonna go up. gas prices up. home prices up.. cost of living up. food cost up.. You are now the ceo and you know macys is doomed.. what do you do?

It's sad. I wonder if our leadership even knows what condition some of the stores are in or are they perhaps mistaken that the condition in some of them is much better than it is?

We do not know if there was much planning and consideration behind the decision on integrated selling module, but my opinion is that this is another experiment that will not last long. How long do you give to ISM?

It’s like the meetings that we have at our store don’t have any purpose. We always address the issues that we have in terms that certain things are done in wrong and more complicated way, and we always agree that certain thighs should be done in a... — read more 

My Macys store is a mess every day. Put away racks are always way out of control. Often mounds of stuff piles up on the wrap desks. New stock from the truck doesn’t make it onto the floor in a timely manner and when it does it’s sloppy. Stockrooms... — read more

Instead of becoming a place where employees will stay longer, Macy's is becoming a place where almost no one wants to work anymore and where everyone is less happy. I personally don’t want to do everything in the store every day and I intend to... — read more 

Someone here wrote in one of the threads - - - "Macy's is implementing the SEARS business plan." I don’t know how many of you here have worked at Sears, but I wonder if Macy’s reminds you more and more of Sears now?

so about 2 years ago right after everything opened up Macys got rid of runners in shoes and put them on floor . they also cut commissions , they also started to throw stock people on the floor to ring.. they was setting you up for ISM long before... — read more

"What are you doing Hal?" Just looked at ISM "computer generated schedule" for ISM rollout: There are people scheduled for shifts THAT WERE FIRED OR QUIT A YEAR AGO!!!! Yeah, this is gonna work.

My manager is secretive about it. I tried to ask him some things that interested me about ISM, but I didn’t get an answer. Now I wonder if it's just my manager or are they still very secretive about this issue?

I recently looked in MacyInc. store count for Q1 2022 and noticed that there wasn't a separate category for neighborhood stores like the previous quarters had. Does this mean that those 51 stores previously classified as neighborhood stores have... — read more

I have to work Memorial Day. Do we not get paid holiday pay and a holiday for working that day? Normally it would show premium holiday pay but it doesn't show that at all.

Macys is going to report earnings tomorrow. If they say they beat estimates, I’m going to assume some seriously creative accounting took place. Anyone who’s been to any Macys store this past year has stepped over the piles of overpriced, out of... — read more

How come monthly insurance increased 10 times and instead of 104 we have to pay 1192 monthly for medical only? Is it a mistake?

With June coming around the corner, you got Graduations going on, Father's Day and PRIDE Month. With Macy's being a "diverse" company, do they pay their employees for JUNETEENTH??? After all it is a federally obsrrved Holiday.

I don't know anyone who has a positive opinion of ISM. Maybe someone does after all?

I’ve heard of some cases where Macy’s fired employees for the smallest thing. Is that really true? I'm interested in the reasons why the company fired you or fired someone you know.

I remember coming to work and putting my mind in sales mode.. I worked in a commission area . I would open at least 3 Macys high percent cards a shift.. had managers come by and bribe with Macys money to open more. or sign up people to anything.. I... — read more
