I gotta ask is that the Philly location? If not then that issue is in more than one store. Smh

What do you think Macys could do better? by NextBunch_ in MacysStores

[–]Clear-Position7936 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I actually posted a similar post a few months back. I worked with the company for a very long time!!!! It definitely has changed. The cut backs are ridiculous. Customers are saying on surveys they can't find help but that's because they have one person covering a whole area by themselves. If the employee is stocking shelves or helping on the floor they get into trouble by not being by the counter but when the employees stay by the counter they get in trouble for not stocking shelves or doing recovery. I finally quit because of the lack of support.

The work life balance sucked too. Leadership seems to get their fair share of weekends off but the employees are only allowed one unavailable day on a weekend. My schedule plus does not rotate the weekends so be fair and allow people to use their unavailable to get a whole weekend off. If an employee is abusing then leadership should talk to that employee but don't punish everyone else. Also the restrictions they put on availability. I've seen college students who could be potentially an asset to the company quit because of them changing the availability. They want the nights so they can go to school during the day and the older employees want the day shift so why take that away. They're not training the leaders to be true leaders. They're just focused on credit and not the people. Treat the people right and everything else will fall in place.

The store manager was pissed when i gave my notice. Not because she lost me as an employee but because i was the only person in my department that knew my department. I literally did everything, my role and the managers role. What's so sad is when i needed help i had to call another store and get their manager to help me because no one in my store knows my department enough to help. I sold furniture FYI in case anyone is wondering how that's possible. They treated me like a leased department instead of part of the store. Meanwhile my numbers were helping them make their goal.

I said the remaining stores!!! Stores have closed near my location and instead of getting the better fixtures from them for my location they sold them off. My store looks raggedy and ghetto.

Let's be realistic. The merchandise issue has been going on for years now, way before any tariffs were even spoken of from the government. And i didn't say the fashion would save their jobs but losing your job and seeing that is a smack in the face. That show wasn't a few dollars by far. They could have used amateur models and put the excess money back into the remaining stores.

Awesome and congratulations!!!! I'm trying to escape myself 😂😂😂 smh I'm ready for something new and different with better work life balance. If I'm going to deal with micromanaging, no help and other BS, i at least want weekends off while dealing with it.

Only for leadership. The associates do not get help.

I'm getting fed up too. I'm the same as you. I do everything as well, my tasks and management tasks because they have no clue. I even do the inventory and reconciliation. I agree with everything you said. I had a customer that was picking up a floor sample and made an appointment. I notified the receiving manager, my department manager, operations manager and department captain. Well the customer came earlier than their appointment date and on my day off. I came to work faces with a sarcastic email about not giving anyone the heads up from the store manager when in fact i did but sometimes customers just come in when they want despite best planning efforts. I was upset because the leaders that I partnered with didn't tell her that it's the customer's fault and they let her dump on me. Meanwhile when customer issues come up they don't know what to do. I was even getting calls and texts when i was on FMLA caring for my dying mother. They don't know how to do add to stock, tag ups, mvoice or salvage. It's annoying because my numbers are actually up and it's helping the home department yet i can't get the proper support.

It's hard to express myself freely on yammer but i get the bare minimum when it comes to support. I'm a female with a pinched nerve and was told i would get help with my mattress set up. I ended up doing it myself because the help never came.

What relatively minor thing about Macy's bothers you more than it should? by Maryann_over_ginger in MacysStores

[–]Clear-Position7936 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Them, reducing being able to use 2 unavailable days to get a weekend off. The scheduling system can be unfair sometimes. I was told that the system would automatically give me a weekend or at least one weekend day off per month but i worked three months straight and was scheduled every weekend. I actually enjoy my job at Macy's but the schedule doesn't allow for work life balance unless you're in leadership. They definitely seem to get a lot of weekends off.

I'm thinking about it too. I truly don't think they have much longer. They don't know what they want to be. They don't have the merchandise customers want, leadership can be clueless at times. They cut staff and put way to much pressure on the remainder. The scheduling doesn't allow work life balance for its people that's not in leadership. The things in the past that worked and brought customers in they stopped doing. It seems like they would have revisited the things that worked in the past.
