Why do people think OVM positions will be cut?
Hi all. Just wondering why people think OVM positions will be eliminated. My OVM works hard and we need her. Are you guys just speculating or has something been announced?
OVM eliminated in February?
What all do we know for sure? Will more director positions be added. What will happen to the OVMs? I do not envy their jobs and don’t know how we would do what we do without them.
How i would do Macys
seeing how badly the place is run I would cut the "fat" and can all the sale managers that are basically gaming the system to do as little a possible. This "managers" are doing nothing for years and get away with it. I would make the associates rule... — read more
New CSM manager position?
Has anyone heard of this new CSM position in the New integrated stores? What is it and what does it entail? Are other management positions eliminated? Details please 😊
They definitely don’t know what they’re doing
After my store was understaffed, they have now hired so many people who are completely unnecessary, that is, they will probably be cut early next year. On the other hand, when I talked to a friend who works at another store they were severely... — read more
Ovm
Do you guys think the ovm position will be around next spring? My store has 3 ovm and they just walking around with coffee in their hands all day and once awhile they help with merchandise. Does anyone ovms actually working?

Macy's Layoffs 2022
Have you heard anything about potential Macy's layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?
People who stayed much longer
It may sound little odd, but I’ve noticed among my colleagues (and former colleagues) that there are generally two groups or “two types of employees": those who left here much earlier than planned and those who stayed at Macy’s much longer than... — read more
PTO?
I am one of those that was laid off and came back one year ago. Was told I have no Pto only sick pay. Anybody else experiencing this? Sick pay is absolutely not the same as PTO.

$15/hour minimum wage
Macy's will raise its minimum wage to 15/hr by next May. Seems like good news, but it could always come with more responsibility. https://www.reuters.com/business/retail-consumer/macys-lift-minimum-wage-15-an-hour-labor-market-tightens-2021-11-08/ — read more

Macy's Auto Center
I'm sitting on my couch and for some reason the thought of Macy's opening up automotive service centers just crossed my mind. You know...oil changes, tires and alignments. Alfani and Calvin Klein could collaborate on uniforms for the... — read more
Visual
Are there any visual people on here that work in pilot stores that can tell us what role visual has now.
I don't like the pilot program.
That is, I'm afraid of what it will all look like. From everything I've heard from people whose store is already in the pilot program, it seems to me that there are more cons than pros. But who cares what employees think? Macy’s doesn’t care about... — read more
Fragrance employee pay
Can somebody please let me know what the starting pay is for a fragrance sales associate. A friend swears it’s $20 an hour and I’m sure there’s no way a retail position would start at that.

Has anyone's Macy's added rugs to their inventory?
I have been hearing word that there are 60-75% off rug gallery's added in some Macys. I'm wondering if it is a bad sign for those particular stores. Just curious.

corporate employees specifically
just a pulse check- how are we all feeling? seems like there has been a LOT of movement the last few months. so many people are leaving and teams are shrinking. where is everyone going? (and how do i get there? LOL)
Why do people here think that everyone's job is easier than theirs?
Here everyone seems to think that someone else's job is very easy, and that theirs is difficult. Cashier thinks it's easier to be a sales manager, and a store manager thinks it's easier to be anything but a store manager. My opinion is that only... — read more
Did Macy's blacklist me?
I applied for a position at my old store and when I checked the next day, it was automatically withdrawn. I left on good terms and did the proper separation procedures.
How to complain about bad managers?
How do you complain about bad managers??? Unfair ones, rude ones, ones that discriminate, etc.?????
I guess everything stayed the same
I left over a year ago after finishing college. Came back to see if anything has changed and from what I’ve read - the answer would be no. What I cannot understand is if you see the company as a sinking ship and can see the “writing on the wall,” are... — read more
If you want out
Amazon is hiring seasonal workers right now. In my area, the starting pay is $18. The bonus is that a good chunk of seasonal employees transition to full time by the end of the season. It's not a guarantee, but if you're truly unhappy here then I... — read more
Will it work like this?
Why do some think that the restructure (as described in another thread below) will never work?
Job searching
I work here as a cashier and I have been looking for a new job for almost 3 months now. It's a little depressing when everyone says that a new job is easier to find than ever. Yes, I could get a job at a company that is no better than Macy’s, but... — read more

Rude customers
"Customers are always right", but c'mon... do we really need to tolerate even the rudest customers? I feel like a punching bag in this company. I tolerate it all just so I could pay the bills. Macy's does nothing to protect us even from... — read more
