Compliance connections

Do they actually do anything? Or it’s all for show? Has anyone made a report on there and what happened?

Other people's performance does not interest me

I have been following this forum for a long time and I notice that most people are preoccupied with other people's performance, in the sense "I'm the only hard worker here, everyone else is lazy but still more valued than me". I don’t care at all how... — read more

Hours a moving target

Ok. We went from a 9PM close to an 8PM close then back to a 9PM close. Why anyone thinks that making the store hours (big ticket) a moving target does anything other than confuse the customer, is beyond me. I get the staffing issues. But this is a... — read more

I work in probably the worst store

The atmosphere is toxic, manager is nervous, customers are few, the place is dirty... such is the store where I work. Sometimes it seems to me that every store is better than mine, even though I know they are all equally bad. I wonder if there is... — read more

“Tell us what you REALLY think”

We can all agree that Macys, specifically the store side, has been in a downward spiral for a while. Product assortment and quality has declined, covid slammed the economy, and staffing can be challenging. Sure there are a few glistening high volume... — read more

Hired too many people in our store

It’s extremely boring and no customers. I don’t know why they hired so many people to begin with only to lay them off again when business goes bad.

So dead, why we going back to 9pm closings?

We closed Sunday through Thursday at 8pm but now I see in February we are going back to 9pm closing and there’s even a 10pm closing for one day sale coming up beginning of February. It’s so dead, why are they doing late closings again?

It's not going to get any better

The main goal is to push people to order online, so they'll keep reducing headcount in stores in hopes customers will still want our products but will want to avoid the hassle of a half-empty store and get it from our website. The more people move... — read more

Full-time positions

Since it’s quite obvious that Macy’s wants to get rid of full-time positions, I wonder if Macy’s future is completely without FT positions? Maybe they think that everything can work without FT people? If they cut my hours, I'll give notice right... — read more

I doubt there will be any changes for the better

There is more and more speculation about the changes that will follow, people are looking for details on how OVM roles will be changed, etc. Only one thing is clear to me, and that is that no change will benefit an ordinary employee who is trying... — read more

Anything will be better than retail soon

The current and future of retail is part time, open availability, with no benefits. It's basically becoming unskilled labor. Fast food pays better. This is perfectly put. Anybody who is still working in retail should be looking to get out as soon... — read more

Support team changes??

So it is only my store changing some things around or is it company wide? One of the OVM said to wait and things will be changing soon. Im assuming in February, but dont have any information really on what it is.

Can Macy's not give packages?

It is better not to count on severance package. That way, if it happens - great, and if not - it's easier if you weren't counting on it. Just saying. However, hypothetically speaking, it is not clear to me how the company can get away with not... — read more

So many OVM postings ???

Why so many job postings for the OVM role? From what I read the job is either being eliminated, or splitting into Ops and Style responsibilities. Is Macys just going to fill these jobs in the next 3 weeks to either cut or demote these people?
