Complaint Review: Macy's - Brea California

Before you get to up in the air use some common sense. NO mother in law would do a story like this without approval!!!!

The thing is, I do know what I'm talking about. Like Jimmy, I was also a Macy's employee for 5 years. They made their policies clear, (i.e. if we get caught taking merchandise, whether it's damaged or not, we'd be fired immediately). ALL employees are trained to take an item that's broken/torn/damaged, remove it from the sales area, and mark it out of stock... not ingest it.

I might not agree with all their policies (hey, if we can't sell the item, why can't we just keep it?), however if an employee wants to keep their job, they follow the rules - plain and simple. Unfortunately, myself and others in this forum agree that Macy's did not rip him off or do him wrong... he broke the rules and had to face the consequences.

Also, picking up a random open bottle of water and drinking it isn't the greatest idea in the world, either.

So you're going to insist that you were, and are, correct in naming your poor son in law so that the whole world will know, forever and ever, he's someone who would take a compromised, possibly contaminated, bottle of water off his employer's shelf and drink it?

In additional, so the whole world can forever know his children on sight.

I'm willing to bet neither your daughter, nor he or their kids are even aware of what you did to them here.

I'm glad he's gotten work since, but YOU are an absolute moron.

Hopefully any prospective employer coming across this post while looking him up will realize he got into this debacle by suffering a momentary lapse in judgment, perhaps overcome by summer heat or whatever, and will take extra pity on him owing to the horrid in-law he is tied to.

 As of today's date Jimmy is working TWO jobs and has another interview Monday for one that pays more than macy's (doesn't deserve to be capitalized) paid him in his five years. I can see why these corporate pigs get away with what they do to their employees with people like you and the other negative responses bowing down to them letting them walk all over you. I am continuing my boycott against macy's and if you do not like it keep your head buried in the sand like macy's does.

If an item is broken, or unsaleable for any other reason, it does not give the employee the right to take it. Macy's has specific procedures for items that are damaged or unsaleable, and unfortunately Jimmy went against the procedures. Having worked there for 5 years, he should've known better.

What kind of idiot would pick up a random bottle of water and drink it?

Since the OP hasn't posted in a few weeks, they hopefully realized what harm they were actually doing. 

But in looking at this entire report it all started with her Son-In-Law got fired for drinking a bottle of water.  If that was actually damaged merchandise, that would be considered stealing.  Stores have specific procedures on how to handle damages, and I don't think the procedure is to drink it.  With him working there for 5 years he would be expected to know the procedures, and that is most likely why he got fired.

As for the hours, you are all over the board on that one. 
It seems like Macy's worked Jimmy 60.01 hours that week. " NOT TRUE". 
- That seems to be the week he was terminated.   When he was terminated they probably paid him for all of his accrued vacation or similar type of hours.

Terry Lundgren (CEO) of Macy's and the other TOP officials DON'T  live on the income JIMMY gets to support their families.
- They also don't work 20 hours a week unloading boxes off of a trailer.

Hopefully you have only caused him a short term problems and he can convince future employers that he made a mistake and Macy's may have over-reacted.  But when he doesn't get the $29.00/hr you think he should get don't go posting on public web sites blasting the CEO of that company that he is not getting paid enough.

Lady, you have posted pictures of his kids along with other information.  If you were my In-Law and you posted pictures of my kids I'd write you out of our life in a heartbeat and you would NEVER see your grandchildren again.  You have done so much damage and I doubt you have any idea what you have done. 

Your intentions may have been good but what you have posted so far is only going to hurt him in the future.  Stay the hell out of it as you have already said and done waaaaaaay too much. 

So, was this bottle was Macy's merchandise? Leaking or not, if that was the case, anyone would get fired.

Does Jimmy know you're posting his pay information AND pictures of his kids on the internet?  I agree, let him handle his own business and stay out of it.  I would be LIVID if my in-laws did this!!!

The more you keep mentioning your son in law's name, the harder it's going to be for him to get any other job, because prospective employers are very likely to come across this report when checking him out.
You are ensuring that you will end up being their sole support for the next 20 years.
The rightness or righteousness behind your cause notwithstanding, this is not something you want to hash out in a public forum that provides no value going forward to your family.
If you all can't or won't go to Macy's in a conciliatory manner in hopes of reversing his dismissal, you need to find safer avenues to dispute your case.
At the very least, you should have kept all family and employee names out of the reports to avoid burning all the bridges unnecessarily.
Don't you understand, this stays on the internet FOREVER, and anybody Googling your son in law for references will find it immediately!
Sage advice to you: Contact Ripoff Reports and ask if they'll please redact all the names - they'll never remove the report.
Maybe someone from RR reading this will take pity on your son in law and do it now without being asked, aware that by naming him, you weren't aware of the ramifications of what you were doing.

Why isn't Jimmy fighting his OWN fight?  If I meddled in the affairs of my sons-in-law, there would be hell to pay.

It seems like Macy's worked Jimmy 60.01 hours that week. " NOT TRUE". 

It was more like 60.01 hours for a month. Macy's payroll dept. shows Jimmy worked less than 32 hours a week for the year 2011. I'm still checking on the pay period from 06/18/2011  to 06/24/2011.  I CANNOT believe that Jimmy's pay from  01/01/2011  to  01/07/2011 shows his check for that week was $29.83.  MACY'S  should go bury their heads in the  desert sand  and beg God for forgiveness!!!! 
Macy's is one of the biggest corporations in the stores industries. I would think that they could afford to pay their EMPLOYEES $29.00 an hour. You can be sure of one thing,   Terry Lundgren (CEO) of Macy's and the other TOP officials DON'T  live on the income JIMMY gets to support their families. I will be posting frequent updates on this scandalous story. If you have any questions please contact me on  FaceBook.
 
I have found more disturbing incidents involving Macy's Dept. Store Human Resources and Jimmy Squires.  It appears that Macy's Brea store Human Resources  is using some under handed tactics when it comes to Jimmy and a few other terminated employees. A position no longer needed at Macy's was terminated. The employee that held that position was moved into Jimmy's position and Jimmy was bumped from 40 to 22 hours a week.  This other employee who had NO MORE seniority than Jimmy, had NO experience in the loading docks, didn't want that position, but placed there anyways. Jimmy was experienced and held that position over four years. The Human Resource person who is responsible for this is from the
Westminster Human Resources, her name is Julie Frost. My questions are ... Who the h**l gives this woman the authority to do this to Macy's employees???  Since when is Human Resources AGAINST the employee???  I have always been under the impression that they were there to help employees. Instead of helping she has caused two employees to become unhappy, one who's hours were cut from 40 to 22, causing severe hardship on Stacy and his two daughters. D**n, if Human Resources are for employee's, we  DON'T need them!!!  Here's another sobering factor. The manager of Human Resources who's name is Susan Barnette is the one who delivered the news to Jimmy that he was terminated. What the H**L is really going on???  These women are NOT angels to the employee's,  they have come straight from H**L! There is one more issue I have to address... Why is it that their has been two other employee's besides Jimmy who were about to reach the five year mark at Macy's when one day over some petty little thing they were fired? I  don't know about you but I see a pattern developing, if it hasn't already. Could it be Jimmy and these other two were fired so Human Resources could hire (Call In's), who work much cheaper and are not guaranteed any hours???  All I can say is,  it doesn't matter if Jimmy gets 10 jobs I am gonna fight this big corporation to the end. If we stick together this kind of treatment will STOP for any future Macy's employee"s!!!!

What he did however was a d**n foolish thing to do. If for no other reason than the bottle was compromised and that water could have contaminated, tainted, poisoned, spiked by some psychopath. Posting about it here, too, if anything, would probably cement Macy's position against rehiring him, by making them angrier and more intransigent. Y'all really should have pursued this with a hat in hand attitude, falling on your swords, quietly, behind the scenes. Not in a public forum like this, and certainly not identifying your son in law as you did here.  I pray he lands something soon, and operates by the book going forward.

As for Macy's, on the small chance anyone of importance there actually reads this, give the guy a break. It was a defective, freaking bottle of water, and in a way, maybe he did y'all a favor by making sure no customer would end up with it, and end up posting here how y'all wouldn't give them an exchange once they realized it was bad. And don't go blaming him for his in-law posting about you here. And PS, my mother loves your store. Rehire the guy for her sake if you can't find any other reason.

I would be VERY surprised if there is not more to this story.  I would not sign a petition based on one obviously biased report.  I would have to hear both sides.

Many stores have very specific policies on what is to be done with damaged merchandise. It's regrettable, but it would appear Jimmy violated the rules. The rest of the story, while sad, is not relevant to what happened. Good luck to him in his future.  He has good friends to help him.
