I'm not sure what you mean, but tell that to our across-the-street neighbor who's worked in Macy's fine jewelry for probably twenty years....and she works for Macy's.
During the time indicated in this article, the fine jewelry department of macy’s was owned and operated by an outside jeweler. while the employees worked at Macy’s, they were not Macy’s employees until recently.
Why is this relevant? The article indicates that this practice hasn’t changed when the merchandise in the stores has changed. The article indicates that the so called expert is constantly warning Macy’s when the expert should have known that the jewelry department of macy’s has changed.
