I know things have been far from perfect lately, but that's the situation in the entire retail sector. Several of my former co-workers quit and are now regretting that decision. It was easy to find a new job, but it was impossible to find a new job... — read more 

Have you ever head of "Story" at Macy's? Probably most people haven't. Why would department store spend a lot of money with a concept like "Story" (a unique department that changes every 3 months) when they never (or seldom) promote it in their ads?... — read more

Hope you guys go broke buying Macy's stock. Jeff is spending his 18% pay increase trying to keep the stock price up.

Bottom line: If a company does not keep great people and encourage them to do their best work in a positive environment it will fail.

Avoid this retailer on the long side, as M's stock price could drop to the mid-teens in the months ahead.

Now everything seems shaky. Should I look for another job? My guess is the rest of us will get laid off after Holiday. I miss my laid off friends and wonder if the company considers the human cost of layoffs

For it's layoffs last month, Macy's Technology seemed to consider what type of visa employees had, and no one with a Form 1-140 or a visa that would put their status in the US in danger, was let go.

Does anyone know if ANY of the healthcare plans offered by your company cover HIV/AIDS d–gs like Truvada? We have a church member in the DC area recently diagnosed with HIV.

The fulfillment team/ packers all got their hours slashed. Did that happen in your stores? And why?

Interesting that if you search the technology job site, you'll find waaaay more software engineering openings in Georgia than in SF. Well that seems like a bit of writing on the wall https://technology.macysjobs.com/

Which stores will be closing in 2020? Has this been announced? Thank you!

Any chance somebody is willing to share severance package details from this round with the rest of us? Has Macy's made any changes?

Please post updates as we learn more about Macy's Systems and Technology layoffs. Thank you!

Systems and Technology was hit yesterday, with possible more cuts to follow today. Not sure if this will stay localized to MST or if more area's will be hit. Sadly, I think we can all agree that more will be coming at some point, if not this week... — read more
