All those whose hours are being cut, be Very Cautious. Sounds like something is brewing. Make sure you are still getting any benefits that are due full time employees, and how long are they going to cut your hrs. Check your HR if there is one. I would be very suspicious. Good luck.
Some of us have asked about the only 24 hr thing a couple of times so far...over the last week ..The response was it is because of the inventory hrs are not been assigned yet . I thinking o k let’s go with that ,I hope their right ! ...Otherwise it will be a very interesting January!!!!
I’ve noticed that they’re only scheduling me 29 hours for the new weeks that have come out. I’m a 35-37 week full time employee but I’ve gotten no official notice.
Cost 'em afortune when they tried that a few mos ago: https://www.ufcw21.org/news/tag/Macys
Is this happening in union stores too?
That's the point! Saving money on benefits.
Hopefully they will offer full time employees a package if this is the case. If hours are going that low then it will be difficult to even cover health insurance.
Where are your comments now ? We so called grunts are waiting ?
Do you in power expect this change to be tolerated without question???
yes its true either you pick up other shifts to make hours or if you get 5 days they are 6 to 6.75 hours each i got 5 days and thirty hours total some got 3 to 4 days.
Well to the last poster really ? We all hope this 24 hr week is not true ......
Fake news. What ppl won't do to stir the pot........
Many of us will have to get a second job apparently as we couldn’t possibly live on this amount of income with only 24 hrs a week .Happy New Year 2021 ! Not a positive start ,where’s the magic in that ?
Yes it’s true as of now. The first two weeks that are released for January will be 24 hours for FT. They may pick up and additional shift. When Macy’s brought back everyone they told them there was not a guarantee for hours.
Let the Hunger Games begin!!!!
Anybody who likes working for Macys is not stable.besides shopping there it was a horrible working experience.So stop drinking the JG koolaid!
Sears tried this stunt with a group of us full-timers a few years ago. We told them no way and threatened to walk out. When we started for the doors they backed off. Stand up for yourselves and don't let them push you around.
I HEARD YOU WILL BE SCHEDULED THREE DAYS AND YOU WILL HAVE TO PICK UP OTHER SHIFTS.
It is possible. It’s happened at my store and we found something to post in the associate lounge informing them of this. I can’t remember the exact verbiage so hopefully I will remember to read it tomorrow and share it here.
My position that I have had for 6 years is called full time 28 hours. I usually work 35-40 but I’m only guaranteed 28 hours.
In today’s times ,anything is possible!!! We will wait and see ....
OP, please stop! There are federal regulations governing businesses still. Google Full Time Employment.
Full time with benefits cannot be reduced to less than 30hrs/wk? Occasionally 28, but must average 30 per week over two week payroll.
No
Unless you're flex schedules are out for the first week of January nobody at my store has said they only got 24 hours
No.
