		<description>T&#039;was evident from first day of Macy&#039;s takeover...things started happening.  The powers to be forget the merchandising and back of the house staff is the heart and soul of getting things set for sales associates to sell.  No one job is more important than the other - it&#039;s all part of the plan.  Take people down to 12 hours/week - take away their benefits, take away their self esteem, take away necessary pay to live.  Your stores look like that - shabby, unkept, dirty and in desperate need of repairs.  Doors shuttered, walls put up to conceal former departments, all service needs taken away from store.  Shame on you so called top executives that let this happen while you continue to rake in the profits.  Be careful, you could be next on the list.</description>

		<description>it&#039;s crystal clear.  that some companies have found a way to get  rid of their older workers, who built their companies, because they  are earning a bit more than minimum wage.  The young executives walked in with the perception that these older workers do not deserve their pay and benefits, forgetting that they were earned over the yers.</description>

		<description>1500 jobs lost is nothing to &quot;whoop&quot; about.  I believe you meant a &quot;whopping&quot; 1500 jobs lost at Macy&#039;s.</description>
