The building in our store is 45 years old. The store is breaking down little by little. Both stairway aren't working and the floor elevator and freight elevator isn't working either. The ceiling in sales floor is breaking down too and the A/C is just started to break down. The condition of the store is horrible. This mother's day weekend was brutal.

Our store was part of May Company Aka Foley's store, the building was built in 1977. Once Macy's took over we started to have problems with the escalators. Now this time the beginning of the year the escalators and the elevator won't work anymore. It's been like this for almost 5 months, I'm guessing it's going to be like this forever.
So that means no one is putting in a work order to get things fixed. It doesn’t have to be a big store that gets priority. If your MBA, AST or OM aren’t putting in the work order, then how will facilities know it needs fixing?
If your store is a less than $20m store they dont care, priority is bigger $$$ box store. It looks bad on Macys company part but more on the leadership who running the store, I wouldn’t want to be working in that store who they dont take priority to fix right away, that just means your store is not priority in bringing in the $$$
True most of the stores that are falling apart are the Foley's store.
Macy's has a fleet of stores they have not maintained since they bought out May Co. So now, 20 years later, things are falling apart. And they absolutely cannot afford to repair these stores at this stage in the game.
This is who is running this place. The store’s are filthy dirty and the man at the top is taking 12 million dollars in compensation to run the company into the ground.

Who's running this place, two weeks ago everyone was getting yelled at for punching out five minutes late and after the super busy weekend, the company gives stores hours for cleaning up and managers are calling begging people to come into work. Who can live like this? Inflation is through the roof and our leaders change direction every week based on sales the week prior.
The good news is that it is easy to get a second job or even a job somewhere else making more than the $15 an hour we are getting now. Good luck with the 100+ rods of go-backs in the store. The company shouldn't value people only when it needs them.
That is definitly not good. Your Store Manager or Ops is not a strong one. Store Managers do have some pull to get things done. Or.... you maybe a store that might be closing. Strong leadership within the 4 walls would not let this continue. Sorry.
