After seeing sales drop during the holidays, Macy's said Wednesday it has either closed or will shutter 68 stores and cut an additional 6,200 positions at a time when shoppers are going online to buy everything from scarves to lipstick.
Of the 68 stores out of 730 in total, nine closings had been previously announced and three locations have already shut down. But the retail giant revealed the locations of the remaining 59 stores, which will be shuttered by the middle of this year and affect 3,900 employees, some of whom may be offered jobs at other locations.
The locations span the country, from Florida to Oregon.
Some of the stores are relatively new to the chain. The Macy's store in the Eastland center in Columbus, Ohio, opened in 2006, and has 73 employees. Some, however, are historic or have been around for decades. Macy's said it will shutter its store in downtown Minneapolis opened in 1902, where it has 280 employees.
Additionally the retail giant says that it will be cutting "layers of management'' at its central operations, and paring the number of managers supporting stores, making up the bulk of 6,200 jobs that will be lost.
I used to work at Sunglass Hut and we had a kiosk in our local Macy's. I had amazing sales but the security there set me up to be fired by placing an open chocolate bar on my desk and claiming I stole it by eating it, so Macy's can eat it's own karma tbh.

GOOD! I got fired on my SECOND DAY there because I wore rain boots on a day were it was like a tsunami outside. I told the manager that I can just tuck them in and she was like "NO GET OUT YOU'RE FIRED!"
They are just looking for ways to get rid of employees
Edit: wow so I'm not the only one who got fired for the dumbest reasons Macy's could find. Incredible.
