My wife has been an employee at Macy's City Creek Center, UT, for over one year. Over the past several months, she has come home repeatedly afraid and upset that she has been treated poorly by their receiving manager Joyce. My wife had told me of frequent occasions where Joyce would deliberately try to sabotage my wife's job by misplacing expensive merchandise and rescheduling shifts, while blaming it on her. She would also publicly demean her in front her coworkers. Joyce has been warned about this behavior several times, but she is still in charge of people.
This is normal bad manager stuff, but where it crossed the line is when my wife applied for an open position (promotion) and Joyce laughed at her, and then refused to forward the application to Human Resources. We found out about this when the operations manager of the store stated that he never received the application months later.
My wife has a Master's Degree in International Law. She has several years of retail and service management experience, and before she came to America, she negotiated trade agreements between nations, on behalf of the consulate of Italy.
I am absolutely positive that my wife is treated poorly, and differently than her peers in the receiving department of Macy's because she is brown, and has an accent.
If this problem is solved immediately, we will be contacting a lawyer, and filing a claim with the EEOC.
Thank you.

My heartfelt empathy to you and your wife. Discrimination is a part of daily life at macys, It is so difficult to sue a company like macys even with the EEOC. The burden of proof is on the employee to prove that macys discriminated BECAUSE OF your protected category. Maycs legal department will only trot out a list of employee names of those employees who have the same ethnic heritage that you have to prove how "fair" they are. The legal department likes to use the expression "numerous violations" (which they never define) to prove why you are unsuitable for the promotion.. They also like to say that no discrimination exists because they followed proper procedure, or that your job matches the job description. They will make you, the victim, responsible for their treatment that you have received. I suggest that you and your wife read several books including "The No ### Principle" and "Snakes in Suits - Psychopaths at work". The more that I learned about psychopaths I came to understand the bullying and humiliation that I received. I also understood why I was unsuccessful in getting the company to reprimand the offending managers. If you are foreign born, it may also be helpful to make sure that you are following local social norms. That may sound obvious, but I observed employees sabotage themselves by trying to impose foreign cultural expectation s at work. Examples would include - cooking odors from using seasoning such as curry in ethnic foods, ignoring the amount of privacy and personal space americans expect, demanding deference because of being older or male. I wish you good luck. Once you work for a horrible employer such as macys, whatever comes next in life will seem so much sweeter and more fulfilling.
