What has Macy’s done now… Let me know what you think of this story. Macy’s hires help from all over, they pride themselves on being diverse, and hiring any color, race, crede, nationality. So kudos to them… What happens when a person wants to visit their homeland? They give them a week, and if they want or take more… they are fired! That’s right FIRED. Who wants to pay hundreds, sometimes thousands of dollars on travel, just to see your family for a week. Macy’s loves diversity… just never let it come between you and them. I have seen good people fired, just because they wanted to go home. I hope Jackass Lundgren, suffers the same fate someday.

Look for the Union Label

macyhater — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 23:35:46 +0000

Let’s see what new scumbag tactic, the powers to be at macy’s are up to. After a decent Christmas season, and the Jackass CEO Terry coming out and saying, that the company is doing well, and has billions of dollars in reserve, They stick it to their help, by squashing their raises. Now Jackass Lundgren got a raise, but the $9.00 an hour help, got shafted. So, what does the disgruntled help do? They contact the Union… A few stores are Union, but most aren’t. So now many more want the Union to represent them. I say it’s a good move for the people, but a black cat to jackass Lundgren,,, he’s peeing his pants. So, they go out of their way, to send HR to the stores, and what’s their story? They tell the associate, well if you go Union, and they negotiate a raise, and we don’t have the money, you still won’t get a raise. This is an Out and Out LIE… If not illegal… So There you have it. Macy’s is Lying to it’s help, and trying to step on the throat of the little guy. I will be partitioning the Union, in every store now. I will see to it, that the Union grows,,, and Jackass Lundgren loses.

Go Union.

PS, I can’t join the Union,,, but I also don’t dislike them. The help at Macy’s needs the Union more than ever.

A desperate Move

macyhater — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 01:27:05 +0000

After reviewing this new business move by Macy’s, I feel it is a desperate shot in the dark. They are cutting more help, they are going to have regional Operations Managers. 1 Ops for 3 or more stores. How can a business of their size be run with regionals always on the move. Small stores, and fast food restaurants can operate this way, but no Large company does this. The plan is doomed to failure and that will manifest itself soon enough. In reality it is a desperate move by a company that has no idea what they are doing. Good luck with customer service this summer… I feel that will be the saddest casualty of this move.

Job loss pending

macyhater — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 12:21:09 +0000

I called this new round of job eliminations, layoffs. The reality is, they are job elimination. A layoff can mean you might get called back. These jobs won’t be. Let’s look at the evolution of Macy’s since the merger with May. 1st, they laid off a bunch of extra people, this is understandable, since there were a lot of multible people for 1 position. Then the stock tanked… lost $30.00 + per share. Jackass Lundgren, pee’s his pants, then starts cutting back at a record pace. First he downsizes the stores, cuts sales help,,, great move dumbass. Customers drop merchandise on the cash stand and walk out, because nobody is around to help them. He see’s sales continue to drop, so he cuts sales help some more, can you see the mentality here. Now that he’s down to a skeleton crew on the floor, which is ironic, since Macy’s is slowly dying, now he’s cutting management. No sales help for customers, and now no managers to sooth the disgruntled customer. He’s also closing all gift wrap sections in the ones that had that service left. More customer service gone. Why would you buy anything at Macy’s when you can get the same products at target and Walmart. You get the same customer service as you do at Walmart. But Dumbass Lundgren, still thinks you will pay a premium, just to carry a Macy’s bag. So go to Macy’s, ask for a few shopping bags, the $7.50 an hr associate will give them to you, they don’t care, and then you can put your Target, Kmart, Walmart items in them, and look the part, while saving $$$$$$$$$$$.

New Round of Layoffs

macyhater — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 01:43:07 +0000

Macy’s has a new round of Layoffs for the new year. They are eliminating jobs, and making people, reapply for their same job. How stupid is that? Reapply for your same job… Again, incompetence reigns supreme at Macy’s. Jackass Lundgren, is coming up with new ways to show his stupidity. He is so spooked by the many and I mean many costly mistakes, that he is coming up with new and even more bizarre plans. The stock remains in the toilet, and he has no idea how to fix the mess he has made. With the new structure, less people doing more work, customer service is going to suffer even more than it already has. By Christmas 2010 some of the customers that were gained this year will be lost. The stock is going to tank yet again. The Macy’s management team, is in panick mode, and as always, you the customer will suffer.

Another Merry Christmas at Macy’s

Here’s another look at the mentality that is Macy’s. Being the holiday season and all, people and managers bring in lots of food to share with the store staff. Knowing this, Macy’s security dept. places a camera on an open box of candy. Then when an unsuspecting person walks by, and eats one,,, they fire them for theft. They also do this with dollar bills placed on the floor. Now first of all, this is entrapment. Second of all, placing a camera on an open box of candy, makes you an ASSHOLE. So the A in Macy’s must stand for asshole. Security dept in Macy’s, has to catch a certain number of thieves each month, so as to not get a bad report. Since they are too stupid, or grossly inadequate to catch any real shop lifters, they resort to trapping the help. A first offense for even taking the candy, should have been a written warning. They didn’t open the box, nor did they take anything from the selling floor. I hope this guy gets a good Lawyer. Just another happy holiday story from your Macy’s… Yes Virginia, there is an ASSHOLE. And he runs Macy’s.

Another Merry Christmas at Macy’s

Here’s another chapter in Macy’s crimes against humanity. A elderly worker at a Macy’s store who has been there for years, had a heart attack. Not severe, but a heart attack just the same. When she called the office, and needed information on benefits. She was told by a Manager, “You know how to read don’t you”. They couldn’t even take 10 minutes to help her process the paper work. Macy’s doesn’t care about people. Not employee’s, AND NOT The CUSTOMER. The care about making money, and that’s it. They make plenty of money, so taking even a hour a day, to help people, wouldn’t be that difficult,,, but they just won’t do it…

Boycott Macy’s.

Brother can you spare a dime

Here is more lunacy at Macy’s. The powers to be have decided to stop ordering dimes from the bank. Instead, they will hand customers a pile of nickels for change. Their logic? They are saying that this saves money. How? The store needs to have a certain amount of cash on hand to make change. The entire store amount hasn’t changed, but they still are using this as a declaration, that they are cutting costs. This inconveniences the customer, and deceives the stockholder. The whole Macy’s finacial structure is just smoke and mirrors. Sales are tanking, but they are trying to get people to buy the stock, so the big wigs can cash out, and disappear.

More Layoffs

macyhater — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 11:16:19 +0000

Macy’s is laying off many more people, but this is going on without any publicity. I guess they don’t want the stock market to know. Sales are still pretty low, even though they want you to think they are not. The company is in a free fall, and Lundgren isn’t smart enough to grab onto something.

Make A Customer Yell

macyhater — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 11:53:03 +0000

I finally found out what Macy’s stands for.

Make A Customer Yell

This is what they are doing at a record pace. Their customer service is the poorest in the retail business. The Management treats the associates so poorly, that they don’t care about you, or the company. They just show up to get paid.

The coupon. They print coupons, because the customer wants them, yet they put so many restrictions on them, that they are all but useless. 1 out of 10 items apply to the coupon. I have seen customers, leave the merchandise at the register, and walk away because of this.
Macy’s is Stupid, because dumbass Lundgren is Stupid.

Shop somewhere else, you’ll be doing yourself a favor.
