Is this happening all over or just certain states. We have yet to be told.
We need better tools
If this company wants to utilize technology then they need to provide the tools for associates to do their jobs. I have to beg to use a TC70 to complete my "Own My Inventory". Ridiculous. We don't even have enough radios and most of the ones we do... — read more
Who get’s the work and responsibilities when an Assistant Manager was let go?
When an AM is eliminated and no replacement is there who gets the workload and responsibilities? Do the responsibilities jus move to a higher tier or do they just give those reasonabilities to someone else without formally giving that person an AM... — read more

Will store hours change to give the new 4:00am-12:30pm shift (soon to be former night crew) a chance to stock out pallets of merchandise?

Market Managers Termed
Just a question , a lot of noise about those termed. Certainly not to be disrespectful in any way. I am only asking because there is no communication as to how or why some of these people were termed. Does anyone know if it was for cause, performance... — read more
Severance Pay
What’s going on with the Severance Policy at Sam’s? Does anyone know the facts about this policy changing? Depending on the Severance Pay could determine if some PTC’s are staying or leaving.
The Member Must Win
Is that campaign still active? If it is, someone needs to tell these new COS's and Team Leads, because members are walking away angry over returns being denied. They act like the member is the enemy, trying to take advantage. As a member I'd be angry... — read more
Who will want to take lowe management position after all of these shifts?
I imagine that lower managers have had it with all of these shifts and the insecurity that comes with them. Some positions eliminated, some merged, and there are almost constant rumors of new reorgs and shifts on that level. Who will want to work at... — read more
BYOD
Thoughts on BYOD
Team leads!!!
Why don’t we do away with so much managers if they keep on giving team leads more and more responsibilities and then just go ahead and give them a raise
It makes no sense
I know exactly where you're coming from. I'm a Tire Tech and have been with the company 6 years, and they are hiring new people off the street with no tire experience, that are making more than I am. This is possible since the starting pay for new... — read more

Team Leads
Exactly what tasks will be shifted over to team leads now? I have a problem w/immature leads who like to gossip and attack people having access to personal information....
Question
This might be a stupid question, but here it goes anyway. If a position is removed, what happens to people who used to hold the position? Are they automatically laid off, do they get a new title and new job description, or are they offered a chance... — read more

Removing dedicated HR employees from a large company is never a smart thing
Removing dedicated HR employees from a large company is never a smart thing. They are just trying to save a buck because they will drop those responsibilities on to a manager or supervisor with no extra pay and expect the same job to be done. Insert... — read more
