Thread regarding Macy's Inc. layoffs

Taken from Macys website

I'm so miserable I come home screaming to my husband because that's how much I hate working for this company right now.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
They need to get better at working as a team instead of individuals. Why do you have my shop Captain's when you don'tballow them to be involved. They need to listen to their sales associates more and stop holding certain associate Tans when they need to be reprimanded.

What needs to change to make the company culture better?
They need to stop firing people and groupings departments all into one and leaving two people for three departments to work. I can't cover moderates and Handbags while checking the fitting rooms and dealing with customers. Plus there's enough room to keep going on about what I want to say.

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Why do I feel undervalued? Because I get thrown around the whole store to do everybody's job because we're understaffed. I would also like my boss to be able to look me in the eye and talk me instead of ignoring me and walk right past me like I'm not there.

What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
I need to learn how to work together instead of throwing the phrase "I quit" and the manager just stand there and laugh and then walk away. I need co-workers that I actually want to work instead of just standing at the register. They need to hire people that want to learn.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
I'm tired of everybody using me because I know I'm a hard worker and nobody else in the store is. I want it to be like it was 3 years ago when it was actually fun and we didn't have presells right after each other and then getting yelled at that we don't make our daily sales goals

I go to my car and scream on the way home. Our managers are exhausted and the few associates who care are, too. I have an interview outside of retail next week. Wish me luck. I've given 5 years at Macys and I just can't face another holiday season.

Your description of working at Macys is very accurate for many stores.Perhaps especially ones that are smaller and have new younger managers. Most managers in my store, including the store manager know little to nothing about team building ,leadership or professionalism. Never mind floor standards.Combine that with the very low quality of untrained, unaccountable new hires and as they say..”you do the math”. Accept it or move on to a job out of Macys and out of retail. Macys only continues to survive because they have so many mediocre stores in locations with no competition.

You are working in retail, one of the worst types of careers that there is. Find another career and get out of retail.
