Macy's is a meat grinder and we're all just pork in designer shoes, keeping busy so we can pretend we're not all headed for the sausage factory. It chews you up and churns out a mess that's lucky to function afterwards.
Just heard that a great manager who took over our store a couple of years ago resigned. She made the mistake of trying to balanced her work and personal life over spending every minute trying to fix a messed-up store with little help and so many bosses no one can remember their names.
What we do remember is a boss who was funny and smart. She packed up and moved across country after being promised advancement at the biggest store in town. Three years later and she's in a neighborhood store in the roughest part of the city.
This is the third store manager to quit this year and there's less than a dozen stores in the district. Since she left all the other good managers quit or transferred and we have been hiring anyone off the street to be managers since nobody wants to work here anymore.
