So if full time positions will be cut? So will benefits, correct? They will just transfer full timers to part time? Can you still pick up shifts? Will it even be long shifts, i wonder? Prolly 4 hour shifts, like who wants to come in for 4 hour shifts unless you’re a student or have another job 😅. I am a full timer who is used to working on average 50 hours a week, I live on my overtime. Imagine if I get cut to working 20 hours, there goes my livelihood. I have to get another job.

Jewelry and Furniture are big ticket areas and require a higher level of trust and skill. You can't open sell this kind of merchandise. Cosmetics also requires a higher level of skill and trust. Trust relates to the potential for product liability with certain products.
Full time positions is not gone yet, we just after to wait after the month of May.
What’s so special about jewelry, cosmetics, and furniture?
Exactly! It’s through attrition and it’s been this way for a year already. Current FT colleagues will not be cut to PT. If a full timer quits, the position will be replaced with the variable colleague position that is coded as part time to be clear. Colleagues will have to self select shifts to bring them up to FY hours and maintain this for a year in order to receive benefits. This does not apply to Beauty, Fine Jewelry and Furniture.
It's through attrition. FT isn't cut. If a FT leaves then the job is changed to a variable position. That has more hours than PT but not as many as FT and you have to wait a year to get medical. FT gets replaced in the beauty, jewelry, and furniture only.
@kwe In California it's already $15 an hour because the state minimum wage went up to $15 an hour on Jan1, 2022.
Is the full timers hours be the same after May 2022, when the $15 per hour kicks in ?
full timer hours will be 28 to 32 hours a week is what i hear.
This company is just full of surprises, we just have to wait and see what happens. 🤷
I also work full time at Macy's and work around the same amount of hours, mostly due to lack of personnel. If they would cut all of the full-timers that would be about 60% of the store. Most of fragrances and cosmetics are full timers with at least 10+ years in and all of the ladies and home are full time. Also, everyone in AYS is full time. I guess they could convert all full timers to part timers but maybe in increments, starting with the colleagues who have been around the most with all of those weeks of pto. Who knows maybe nothing will happen.
