With recent job cuts most everyone in the company is taking on additional responsibilities which increases our workload. I just added up the amount of meetings scheduled weekly and they add up to 8+ HOURS! I just don’t understand how this can be right knowing we are short of help in the stores, we NEED to be out on the floor supporting our teams and helping the customers, not all gathered in a meeting talking about what we’re going to do, how about just doing it instead? I get that we need to be organized and have a plan of action but all these meetings are robbing us of valuable time and are wasting payroll dollars.

The morning meetings is like a cult gathering. I always thought it was a waste of time.
I left macy's earlier this year at MST... I had on average 20+ hours of meetings a week. It's impossible to steer the boat when everyone is bickering about how to do it.
