NEW YORK (AP) — Macy’s says it will temporarily stop paying tens of thousands of employees who were thrown out of work when the chain closed its stores in response to collapsing sales during the pandemic.

The majority of its 125,000 employees, including stock people and sales clerks, will still collect health benefits, but the company said that it is transitioning to an “absolute minimum workforce” needed to maintain basic operations. Macy’s has lost the bulk of its sales due to the temporarily closing of all 500 of its stores starting March 18.


Not a big surprise given the circumstances, but it's official now.

The government will pay them more to not work. They’ll be fine.

Macy’s won’t be fine.

Macy’s will likely suffer a quicker death than what it was to endure but for the virus.

And many other struggling businesses will get the same death release.
