My manager informed us he has a mandatory meeting next week along with the others. So something is up. 26th. Found this as a reply on another thread. Does anyone know, or has anyone heard what this is about? Does anyone have any info on this?
Happy Thanksgiving!!
Let's have a little radio silence, and just dwell on the good in each of our lives these next few days. I wish you all a wonderful Thanksgiving! We'll get back to the crazy soon ❤️😉
BYOD
So now the company wants to save money by having hourly associates load their cell phones with Sam’s devices. Your cell phone will be your new TC70 & you don’t get any discount from the company off your cell phone service. Who wants to do that? Not... — read more
Don't wait around for severance
Taxes will eat almost half of it. There are other things out there. Amazing how you can apply yourself when you really really have to. Yes I have a family and kids to feed. Yes I had a lot invested in Sams. You don't know what you can do until you... — read more

Will nights move to days in 2019? If so will they lay off some of night shift or will ever one keep their job
Produce
What is going on with the changes in Produce
Bloomberg, FOX, Goldman Sachs, Big Media All Saying the Same Thing
Big Banks, Big Media, Talking Heads, all telling you to expect a major global economic slowdown in 2019. Well, the reason all these layoffs are happening is because IT'S ALREADY STARTED. Duhh! No S___T Sherlock! Every industry, just about every major... — read more
Conference Call Today
Does anyone know what is going on with the conference call today??
The flawed practices in dealing with employees
People make the mistake of believing they as an individual are important to Sam's. The management is trained to steer you toward believing in Sam's as if it were a worthy cause like saving whales. When a person wakes up , like Neo Waking up in his... — read more
Shunned
Is anyone else feeling shunned because youre not wanting another position in the club. My managers dont speak to me they talk over me instead of to me. December 7 will be a great day. I wish them good luck.
No one taking care of cell phones
That’s the story. It a Sunday and no one is here for cell phones. 3rd party not reliable.
Tell us about new BRA position
I want to know how it's going the receiving area with the new restructure of BRA.
Club Hours Changing
I keep hearing club hours will be changing after the holidays. Clubs will start opening at 10 like we use to. Any truth to this ?
Cross training
Sam's Club received direction from HO to cross train associates in different areas. This leads me to believe there are big changes on the horizon. They are up to something
Membership Cards
I still cant figure out why we are handing out membership cards with no name and no pictures on them. We take their pic but once you scan their card at the register it does not show who they are. What is this all about any ideas?

TMA Eliminated February 2019
TMA will be eliminated as of February 2019, that will free up 4-5 assotiates that way when cross training happens, the MGT can focus more on the sales floor, TMA has been eliminated in several clubs already.
Still here
Not sure if that is good or bad. I am personnel thought I was goner Monday
Checked out
I wish they would come on with the Severance. I would be a fool to leave without my money and the opportunity to apply for unemployment. Call me what you want I’m taking a break. Stop wasting my time in the office Sam’s Club. Poor associates you all... — read more
Any Clubs with no night crew
Are there any associates on here who's club does not have a night crew and if so how in the world do they even get close to meeting company standards.
It’s just business
Just because sales are up doesn’t necessarily mean that profits are up. Profit is what you pay everything with. From utilities to yes wages. The physical stores now require less customer service With improvements with technology it’s only a matter of... — read more
No one is safe
I have been with Sam’s for 34 years, they never promised us forever. With that being said, I really thought if you worked hard and did not call in you would be safe. NO ONE is safe, they will always be looking to cut back. As much as I think I’m... — read more
Hours being cut at worst possible moment
Why are hours being cut when we know for a fact we'll not only need more hours but more people? Where's the logic in this? What are they trying to accomplish?
Cross training.
We barely have enough associates left in the building, now they are requiring associates to cross train in other area. 4 cashiers as the lines get long, members don’t jnderwhy we won’t open another register, but will empty the members carts. Example... — read more
Club Manager Schedule
Club managers used to be required to close 1or 2 nights a week. Normally worked 7-5. Mine NEVER closes and comes in at 6. Is this new? Or does my Club Manager think he is better then everyone else and follows his own rules and makes his own schedule?... — read more
Byod for hourly.
Even if they pay for my plan I will not use it. Will they replace if dropped and it breaks while doing my job? It is a big way to save them money. If people use there phones Sam's doesn't need to buy as many Tc70's.
Wondering
Club managers call yesterday and now
Where are they?
Does anyone know what happened to the PTCs in test markets where they eliminated their positions?
Nobody is ready for cuts
I have been with Sam’s for 34 years, they never promised us forever. With that being said, I really thought if you worked hard and did not call in you would be safe. NO ONE is safe, they will always be looking to cut back. As much as I think I’m... — read more
Double standards
And they won’t address or hold anyone accountable for any of the thousands and thousands of issues with samsclub.com on an event day yet they’ll walk into clubs and threaten jobs over it not being zoned perfectly on a day like today. A missing sign... — read more

Marketing
Is it this week?
Can’t even organize event correctly
Stupid event , the online event was a scam , the whole thing is a scam , every item worth a sh-- was out of stock , that is when the web site finally worked , scams club
One Day Event
They want to compete with online business but can’t handle the traffic. You can’t even get on their site right now. Pitiful!
PTC
Has anyone heard how the test markets are doing without a PTC?
Recieving claims new schedule template

Maybe it’s time to start the job hunt now
Don't say there are no job opportunities. If you have a Sam's nearby then your area is big enough and has other places to work. You are making up excuses. So you would rather have to job hunt once your store closes, and all you other associates are... — read more
