Macy's

[pegkerr]

I haven't talked with her yet, but I believe my sister Cindy was one of the people who lost her job when they folded the Macy's management office here in Minneapolis yesterday. She worked there for over fifteen years and was quite senior. Heaven knows what she's going to do now, since she's going to be competing with all her former coworkers for work in fashion merchandising. Over 950 people lost their job and hey, it's a recession; what awful timing. Her husband is self-employed, but his business just started up and isn't enough to support their family yet.

My cousin who works in management for Macy's in St. Louis found out her job was gone, too. The only good thing about her situation, though, is she was 1 year from full retirement so she's hoping they'll "give" her that year.

Good luck to your sister. I cringed when I read the news yesterday.

I'm sorry to hear that your sister lost her job.

Oh, poor Cindy! I hope that's not the case.

YUCK! Will she get any sort of severance? This recession is really taking its toll, isn't it?

As if I didn't already have enough reasons to hate Macy's.
