Anyone know what this announcement is about? I was told every managers have to be there. Rumors or real?
Contractors
They should cut ties with these contractors. What good have they really done? Week after week, our reports are always breaking, not uploading, missing data, not being sent on time. I’m so tired of submitting tickets. It’s always something. Why are we... — read more
Calm Down
I think everyone needs to take a breath and stop creating worst case scenarios inside your heads. No one knows what’s in store. Speculating and creating rumors doesn’t help your mental health or anyone else’s. It’s fine to share information but only... — read more
Today?
All last week by SM said he'd get staffing today. Let's share here!! Some of us (me) are off today and i can't wait much longer.
Director of Divisional Operations
anyone know is this position is safe>?
The writing is on the wall
Even if your store isn't among those closing, you should be looking for a new job. All we're facing if we stay here is uncertainty.
Logic of cuts
The store teams' are stretched to the max. Since all these stores are closing doesn't logic dictate cuts should largely come out of corporate as their responsibilities are diminished?

How long before all stores are closed?
That's clearly the direction we're heading. In five years, I think Macy's will follow the same fate as Sears.

Just get another job in retail if you want to stay in a dying profession
Bottom line is Macys is retail and retail is dying. Why spend all your time trying to figure out what stores will close, if your job is safe, or if the mall you’re in will shut down. Just look for another job, it’s not like your in Astro physics… — read more
Anything to expect next week?
We're all concerned, and we still don’t have most of the information. Any substantiated details would be greatly appreciated. Focusing on short-term profits rather than rebuilding and investing in long-term growth makes it harder to predict what the... — read more
Unprofessionalism

Closing "under performing" stores... really?
Just to clarify not all the stores that were part of the first round were "under performing" . A lot had to do with how valuable the real estate was and how fast Macy's can make a quick $$$ or $$$$$! I know for a fact a few were beating plan from... — read more
