I left in January after several years for a completely different job. I told all my former coworkers this year there was prob more to it and to not get excited when they said they were closing for thanksgiving. This proves what i was thinking. Please look for other jobs out of retail. There is a better life. For the first time in 7 years, i will be off thanksgiving and Black Friday because our office is closed for both days. I will actually have a full 4 day holiday weekend. We will have to hustle m-w, but it’s worth it. And they are paying us for both days off without using PTO. Guys, there is life after Macy’s. Just start looking now. Even though many places have hiring freezes, they are posting and collecting resumes to narrow down the best candidates so they can dive in to interview and hire once things are back to normal. Starting now is key.

Thank you, @bym+17L6AgTu, for these encouraging words. Your advice is great, you just need to get started looking for better places. I’m too tired!!!!!!!! How many of you dream of a four day holiday weekend?
