Thread regarding Macy's Inc. layoffs

No Agenda, No Advanced Notice 11:00 am Meeting Invite From the CEO.

This never happened... The invite was distributed 2 hours prior to the meeting... What's coming?

it will be the all too familiar annual routine, if you have been at Macy' any length of time you know the routine, but think they are cutting deeper in 2020:

  1. Many jobs eliminated
  2. Many jobs job "moved", but more impacted than there will be "move jobs" to contend for and it is known many won't try, most people don't want to relo away from family & friends.

It will come out 2/4 in advance of the 2/5 Investor meeting. Exec mgmt will brag about the new store concept, massive expense reductions and try to generate optimism for the future. Stock will bounce, execs will cash out of options and restricted stock then spend the rest of the year trying to tread water with revenue.a

This will continue until top line revenue grows, as painful as it is, Macy's expenses are woefully out of line relative to comparable peers and it is only exaggerated as sales decline.

Folks - I just came to know that a written notification is required from the org to employees laying out the notice and details. Can anyone share the same that was published after the call??

Q: Are the positions being ‘transferred’ (same role and pay + relocation to location of choice) or being eliminated and need to reapply to an open position and you have to get selected for the role and associated pay? How was this explained? Is a job guaranteed if you are ready to move?!

Be careful with the lawyers, most people have arbitration clauses in our contracts which k–ls a lot of the power

Its to announce SFO MTech closing/reduction. Remember you don’t have to take the offer.. if you’re let go it’s all a business negotiation at that point. Find a lawyer to file discovery and find out if the list HR used included s-x/nationality/age on it.

iirc the last time this happened, it was to announce that the previous CTO (Yasir) was leaving.

if it is specific to SF, it must involve MTech. Wonder if they will announce mergers of NW and SW regions and dissolving of districts?

The meeting is for Macy's Technology, so my guess is that it won't focus too much on district mergers.
