Thread regarding Macy's Inc. layoffs

Neighborhood stores

The company is looking to make a big push to role out neighborhood doors this fall and one of the findings from the neighborhood stores that launched this year is that the store environment is so miserable that every colleague who had saved up attendance points used them to avoid coming to work or to give themselves much needed breaks from the cripplingly unrealistic expectations for the poor chumps not fortunate enough to get cut loose in the downsizing. We had a lady in our store who had saved up a bunch of points and she used them in two months because her back hurt after being forced to so much physical labor after the change and she was in her seventies. So say goodbye to your points and get ready for a neighborhood store and the new attendance policy coming to a store near you.

Good post from @Z9Y8w7e-3xhr.

No offense, was an executive for Macys leaving a year ago from the ecommerce side of the business.

No body shops stores anymore. No body want to get up, get out, and drive to a retailer of any kind unless its within a block or two. When they can just order online from a phone, work CPU, or other device the same product.

Macys has been holding on to the store idea for way to long. Why would you invest into neighborhood stores when the stores you have sales and numbers are in decline for the past 10years. While the ecommerce side has been steadily growing 30% year over year.

Read between the lines Macys. It's not a hope or a wish it is a road map of either success or failure period end of story. Either jump in the .com retail wagon or watch your ship sink slowly, painfully and without purpose.

.com IS the new shopping experience and has been for 10+ years. It's not something you can "kinda" do and be successful. It's all or nothing. The big bad Amazon has already announced they are focusing on appeal for men and women for the next 5 years. That alone will end most retailers that dont have a big fat nest egg to fall back on.

Meeting Expectations: Colleague has worked 97% or more of scheduled hours. Needs Improvement: Colleague has worked at least 94% but less than 97% of scheduled hours. Below Expectations: Colleague has worked less than 94% of scheduled hours.

The whole thing sounds odd. Just clock in the time you are scheduled, and clock out when you are supposed to. Dont call out. If you do this you are fine. If you dont ...uh oh....you are not "reliable". You will be terminated...maybe.

Can anyone comment on what the new program is? All we heard is that the points are going away and not to worry about anything! I have 110 points; I am not really worried because my status is now flex employee. But no one really tells us what is going on. I find out more info on this website than I ever hear from my people leader ( a term that always makes me crack up, don't know why!)
