We have disturbing testimony that macys wrongfully, perhaps, criminally committed in order to” force us to quit ”. "if they wanted to fire me, why didn’t they just do it asap? Instead, they told me to resign, harrassed me to quit, falsified misconduct records twice, misrepresented / defrauded my schedule, shortened my drawer by $10 (Enough to be written up) on my last day, lied, and threatened me with a hostile, unsuitable, therefore unsafe work environment. I made my complaint the following week with the regional human resources manager, then attempted to speak directly with them however they against their own policy handbook, wilfully & wrongfully avoided me, then removed me from schedule, wrongly discharged me that same week, and now wrongly disqualified me from any unemployment benefits. Please note this all occurred within a 1 ½ week span. . . . Where do we draw the line between taking class action lawsuit and not; maybe jailtime can make a difference for the greedy ceos, maybe not. However, please pass this on to loved ones & always carry a handy taperecorder.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
what kind of message is corporate america sending allowing this to happen.this is very unprofessional.when macy's east changed over to macy's west policies, i don't think this is how they treated their employees on the west coast.shame on one of the largest retail stores in the country. all across the country macy employees are all saying similar things.it is hardly a co-incidence. you can't make this stuff up.it sounds more like corporate policy.employees are lied to, spoken to rudely, managers very uncomplimentary, two-faced, you're expected to do your job regardless of safety issues because it's all about time management, not to mention the oath of double standard that they must take when putting on that RED badge. this treatment does NOT give incentive to work harder. this complaint board is not only therapeutic, but for anyone contemplating a "job" at macy's, because it is no longer a "career" opportunity, they don't want you to stay long enough, it will open your eyes not to be naive to their brainwashing (reinforced at every morn rally) as to what they WANT you to believe.i often wonder if they actually believe their own words, because it is somewhat robotic at times..all they care about, their first priorities is the almighty$$$, making goals, pressuring the sales assoc.and opening credit so Mrs.Public will have more debt.i truly believe that there are locations where macy's stores are not run this way and people still do have great work ethics and they have not sucked the life out of you and you look forward to going to work, however it is not the case where i work.i would like to know if the head CEO will be getting that 7 million dollar bonus AGAIN this year. perhaps he will fill out a "note to santa" asking for that and will put it in the "BELIEVE SHOP MAILBOX" aah, the magic of macy's
The Macy's I work in just last week "asked" the security manager to resign, (not fire him, ) because he was found having sex with one of his security staff. The gal he was having sex with, in a vacant stock room, was fired immediately. (No meeting, no options nothing!)
I am working for a manager who took over a staff that was a well oiled machine, with people working in that department on an average of ten years. Being the insecure control freak this manager is, we are not even allowed to refer to our former manager in any way. You mention the word "he" and she goes into a tizzy. She wants everything her way, whether it's right or wrong. She and her assistant "pit bull, " who when not up the manager's ###, is sent on attack mode, leaving us and the store in one big hot mess. Here's an example; "to save the department money" the two purchased a table saw so that we can cut our own signage, instead of ordering it with outside vendors, which is the norm for all stores. I clearly expressed that I was not comfortable using this electric saw and was told "you have to! This miserable duo are determined to make us all quit so they can "rule the world" and they will look like heros, for unemployment benefits would not have to be paid out once we quit.
I have left numerous messages for our horrible HR person, with no return calls. Only when I battered the secreatary did I finally get to meet with HR and I have been getting the run around, for the requested tranfer to open positions to other stores, ever since.
PS. the "rumor" is that come January, after abusing us for the holidays and inventory, the rest of us full timers will be cut to part time, just as they did earlier this year.
i grossly agree with all of the above about Macys.
Are you aware extra marital affairs are not a violation of policy and having sexual relations in the workplace is also not reasons for termination at Macys. A manager and salesperson in my store were found in a fitting room engaging in sexual activities. A sales person alerted security because she heard noises in the fitting room after closing. Sales person was in fitting room when security found the couple. The sales person was fired for MISCONDUCT because they said she lied about what she witnessed. Security guard was promoted and transferred. Sales person involved in the sex act was promoted and now works directly for her paramour. Sales person, a single mother with two school age children, decided to use Solutions in Store which was even more a waste of time then HR. They upheld the ruling that she was wrong, sex on the job with your married lover is not actionable, and told her if she continued to complain they would stop her unemployment. When she told them she was sole support of her two children, she was told she should have thought of them before entering fitting room or calling security. Frankly, suing Macys will not help, they are too big and will tie everything up for years. You must convince people to boycott Macys. American's store allows sexual harrassment and actually encourages it by promoting employees who engage in sexual shenegians. If you believe in extra marital relationships and sex acts freely engaged in work, and in the fitting rooms where you try on clothing, then shop at Macys, if not boycott Macys. Forget class action suits, organize boycotts.
I believe you are all correct about MaCY'S. I was set-up and fired as well. I told H.R. that Macy's was the worst job I had ever had, that this was the most hostile and inhumane working environment I had ever experienced. Moreover, that by telling H.R., was futile because the tone of the organization was set-up by the executive leadership, CEO's and high paying administation in NY. Two weeks later, I was fired!
IF YOU ARE EVER INVITED TO A MEETING WITH H.R., LOSS PREVENTION, ETC., NEVER SIGN ANY OF THEIR DOCUMENTS. IF YOU DO, IT DOES COUNT IN COURT AND VERY EXPENSIVE TO OVERTURN. I WAS DRILLED for 3 hours, accused of B.S., and they do tamper with all documents. The really are illegal and they believe we are too stupied and poor to defend ourselves! I believe a class action is a satisfactory consideration.
i have exactly the same thing with Macys! I am hired as a part timer, then after 1 1/2 yrs with them, I filed for a vacation but my former boss told me that since I am not making my hours, he will put me as an on-call associate so I won't get any benefits anymore. They told me that I need to reapply which I did many times on the same department that I am in. But they said their not getting my online application until finally I decided to apply to a diff department then they called me for an interview. I went there, very eager to get the job back. After how many mins of waiting, they said that the position that I applied for was a mistake and that they're not hiring?! And so I decided to file for unemployment, I got approved and Macys appealed bec of course they don't wanna pay UI. I went through hell during the hearing bec they (HR Manager and my manager) turned everything upside down. THey claimed that my vacation wasn't approved and that the HR manager explained to me about the LOA which didn't happen since I only met the HR manager once during my interview a yr and a half ago. ANd that they claimed that I quit my job?! I know in my heart, I did everything legal and now I got the decision that I need to pay UI everything back! I will fight for this til my last breath, I will file for an appeal and is looking for a pro-bono lawyer to back me up on this case. I am still unemployed, how can I repay that back America?
They made you quit because of unemployment law. If you are fired you can file for unemployment from them, which they dont want to pay.The Company would be liable for one year of unemployment pay if they let you go . But if you quit they are not liable for it.
To every employee, not just Lowe's employee's:
As you can see, I am not hiding like most people who file a complaint through the AlertLine. Why? Because I am proud of myself knowing that I am taking a stand against Corporate Greed.
President Obama, are you out there?
I am fighting for every worker in this country in order to eliminate the Company traps that are out there!
Yes, the AlertLine is a trap. File a complaint with the AlertLine and the information that you provide will be waiting for you the next time you go to work.
Enough said. I'm coming because I have been @@@@@@over by Lowe's and I am not going to take it anymore.
Wish me luck. I know ahead of time what I am in for and I am not afraid.
My e-mail address is shortstop41134@comcast.net
Your story sounds just like mine. Good luck in fighting Macy's and be prepared to go through hell. I'm there myself, and I have no intent on backing down now! If I can offer you any support, contact me at shortstop41134@comcast.net. My situation deals with Lowe's Home Center and Home Depot. I am going to try to destroy their reputation the same way they destroyed mine.
God Bless,
Patty
A better question - what didn't they do?
Lowes Complaint by Patricia Romansky
Violation of Policy, Retaliation, violation of Civil Rights, Loss Prevention, Stock Market, etc.
1. How many Lowe's employee's are directed to call the AlertLine with a complaint? Do you know that the AlertLine is actually Lowe's AlertLine?
2. From everyone's understanding of the Employee Manual, is it acceptable for a RTM Clerk to date a vendor?
3. Is it acceptable for the HR Manger to work at Lowe's when her father works for Home Depot?
4. Does the manual also state a zero tolerance for safety and harassment?
5. Are there not "Whistleblower" laws protecting the employee?
That's just a start. Comments from other employee's would be most appreciated. I'm being to feel like I don't understand the English language.

I went into a job knowing of the problem with one worker; tried to fix it myself; then to HR, thenI was set up to get fired. Only my first 'violation of policy', never mind the daily violations of certain worker. I speak up and am causing trouble. I see now they condone the hostile environment. Good luck to whoever replaced me.
You need to talk to someone from MMG (Macy's Merchandizing Group). They produce Charter Club.
