I have a great boss, I love my work and my store is successful.

This place becoming for students only
Macy's is unrecognizable compared to the company it was almost 10 years ago when I started working here. Here I found quite a decent job that allowed me to pay my bills. It is now increasingly clear that those at the top want this to be a company for... — read more
Is this true?
This rumor is going around - full timer hours will be 28 to 32 hours a week is what i hear. I will never agree to it if this turns out to be true.

Sad state of service
I went into my local Macy's for the first time in about 7 months since I quit. All I can say is it is capital SAD. The consolidated the registers into one "Let's Checkout" counter. That takes away from the service and experience. Are sales associates... — read more
These are the people who need to be cut
I wonder how many of these needless regional positions will be cut? They are off this week enjoying their Christmas holiday. Their lazy a—es should be in the stores preparing for inventory. And by that I mean physically working instead of... — read more

So we have Macy's on our resumes
I am currently busy polishing my resume and I would most like another company to be on there instead of Macy's. Nevermind, I wonder if Macy's on resume meant anything to you looking for a new job? That is, did it have any value or did it look more... — read more

Succession
If you really want to know what JG and the Board really do…then you need to watch this show!! They don’t care about the product they produce or the workers that work for them. They care about seeking deals out to make the shareholders and Board... — read more
Macy's is the devil I know
I'd love to get a better job, but there are so many unknowns at new companies. I know of people who left thinking they were going for greener pastures and ended up in the same if not even worse situations than here. At least I know Macy's well enough... — read more
1 Day after Christmas, layoff and closure talk starting
Walked in this morning, barely said "hello" and people are already talking about layoffs and store closures. So glad I'm leaving this place at the end of January. I've had enough.
Miss the Christmas Eve Guy
Where is the Christmas Eve guy when we need him? He provided us with such insite as to what we are going to be up against come the new physical year. I miss his true to the bone information.
Will there finally be some action against it?
Regional and corporate visits where we talk endlessly about grab and runs, increasingly aggressive shoplifters, and unruly customers. Plenty of lip service but no action. We are building a culture where Macy's is an easy target and the bad guys know... — read more
Innovative Pilot
OVM’s now Operations or Style Setter Managers? Anyone have info on this? Is the Style Setter Manager just a glorified CSX? Will they do CSX functions in addition to support functions? Is the Ops job like the Operator job in the past?
Strive for the better!
I gave notice yesterday, I stayed here too long. I will only miss my coworkers, who were really great. It is not true that only those who cannot find a job anywhere else work here. I have worked with people whose abilities and talents surpass this... — read more
Christmas bonus?
How come we don’t get a Christmas bonus??? We should get at least $100 or even some Macy’s money. Instead we get nothing and managers get loads of macy’s money for making credit and the store manager & co get a bonus for making sales and credit while... — read more

Inventory
A few weeks ago and for about one week during morning huddles, store management asked us if we would like to do inventory. The huddles that I was at no one said yes.

Superstore
I just binge-watched Superstore and, boy, did they get it right! I'm not talking about the main characters and their storylines, I'm talking about those 5 to 10-second scenes in each episode that show what customers are doing when they think nobody... — read more
What do you despise the most about this company?
If you had to name just one thing what would it be? For me, the biggest problem is definitely that I feel like I have a million bosses. A person who is just one of our manager’s pets also wants to be my boss and behaves that way. I keep quiet... — read more
Can't they at least do that much?
