It’s a slaughter house!! They are rounding up all the long term people and getting rid of them. They have lawyers that came up with a plan to do it with out getting sued. Believe what you want but eventually all long term people will be forced out... — read more
Since some of you need to be told.
Do not buy a house while working at Sam's. I have a hard time feeling bad for you right now. We all know there are major changes taking place for over a year now, and lots more to come. I have heard this from 2 people recently, I hope not I just... — read more

Information about US
Can you tell me all positions in Sam's Club in US was eliminated? Ptc, receiving tl, claims tl and all receiving clerks? Is that correct?
PTC Changes
So they have pretty much taken our jobs away from us it’s a slap in the face. I just hate they are still using us to ensure new systems are understood or actually working. I’m not bitter or upset I just want my meeting and packet already. It’s been a... — read more
This Fresh "belt" system is a slap in the face to associates.
If anyone should be getting bigger raises it's the associates who are on the front lines with members. The whole front end is what keeps the club going between cashier's, desk, click n pull, cart associates or even the floor associates that support... — read more
Long Term Associates
So how many of you will still shop at Wal-Mart or Sams. On your way out on your last day will you keep your Sam's card that you can get free every year after 20 years of service or will you give it back to them. Im guessing most of you will still... — read more
What do you think?
Is this going to work? Do you think 2 full time and 1 part timer can get everything done? None of our receiving associates are staying. Seems like a big mess to me.
Back room shifts
Anyone been told what the shifts will be for the full and part time? I worked in claims and worked 7:00 to 3:30. I can’t seem to get an answer if all will start at 5:00. Having young kids at home I know I can’t go in before 6:00 because of before... — read more
See for yourself
I realize receiving is gone, but to apply for the new back room position you need to preference through the receiving office position. They have them linked, you can play with it and see for yourself.
We have lost 4 managers in 3 months
Something is happening if all these long term managers/coaches are leaving to work else where. They have the right idea, get got on your own terms.
Receiving and claims position
I HO is going to get what they deserve when receiving and claims associates, who have the knowledge leave and they TRY to train people who know nothing about the areas. It couldn't be happening to a more deserving group. HO needs to be replaced or... — read more
CHANGES TO COME
I have heard there are more changes coming in Janua y. Does anyone know what is coming in January.
Great quarter for Sam's club
Sam's is forever boasting about how well the company is doing. Well, I guess so, they are targeting the long term associates and eliminating their positions. They try to turn it around and make themselves look good. Do these people at HO really think... — read more
Receiving and claims position
Just when we thought the company couldn't get any more pathetic, they eliminate receiving and claims right BEFORE Christmas. How much lower can they get? After 25 years if you are not able to drive a forklift, you are gone. If they think that... — read more
Top heavy
Looks to me like Sam’s Club is getting top heavy. Too many chiefs and not enough Indians.
It’s just a job
It doesn't make sense to stay. There is no position in the club where I wouldn't be taking a huge pay cut. After 26 years it is difficult to start over. I am 3 years away from retirement. I guess I'll take the payout. That will give me time to find... — read more
Those who are ineligible:
Were you given a reason as to why you can't apply for the new backroom position? No one will give me a reason, other than saying it's based on performance. Wouldn't that mean coachings? I don't have any on file.
Receiving/Clerk's/Claims
Those who are going to stay. Can you tell us why? Even if you like the change, you know that will be readjusted not far down the road right? They will end up cutting another person until nobody is needed anymore. Not trying to down anyone. Just... — read more
Receiving/Claims Team
Just curious... how many of you are taking the severance and leaving?
Only 5am-1:30pm and 1:30pm-10pm Shifts For Everyone?
Heard the company is soon going to this type of scheduling. Some clubs are already doing it. What are the details on this?
Don’t judge until you walked in our shoes
Marketing at our club does whatever is necessary to get Memberships! We go from business to business in the pouring rain. We go to Membership Drives at 5 am that don’t end till 7 pm. We work every Event that the Club has. We hear no way more than we... — read more
Severance and 401k
You can have up to 50 percent of your paycheck go to your 401k so would it be possible to make that change right before leaving? Might save more on taxes that way and then I believe you can draw from your 401k 30 days after your last day. Anyone with... — read more
New Back room team hours
Has anyone been told what the new hours would be? We was told working weekends and that there was no set schedules anymore.
Severance and unemployment?
Somebody in one of the posts yesterday mentioned they were taking severance and unemployment and I'm not sure what that's referring to. Is it really possible to get unemployment benefits if you were laid off with severance or is there something else... — read more
Any News in Overnight Positions?
Does anyone know if three clubs with overnight crews will eventually go to days? And what about those who are overnight in receiving overnight?
Back Room Associate
Just wanted to start a thread and see what people think about the new position: Sam's Club Back Room Associate.
With the minimum wage going up to $15, expect Sam's Club to start eliminating even more positions
I was a former Tech Lead, and I left the company 11 days ago. I remember when the changes to Claims the Club Manager told everyone at the time that no one would lose their position. Yet here we are. I feel terrible for the two awesome Receiving... — read more
Any news in next year's insurance enrollment?
I havent gotten any information in the mail about my insurance enrollment and I trieed to look on the wire today and I kept getting an error message.
Severance package and then rehired?
I've been with Sam's over 28 years. I'm ready to go. I'm more than likely taking my severance and then unemployment for a while. Where I live there is an e commerce location I have interest in working at but the top out pay is quite a bit less. After... — read more
No WARN notice even though it was obligatory
The WARN ACT does require a 60 day notification. There are a few exceptions, but even in those cases the law says they have to provide written notice if why they were unable to provide the 60 days required by law. We were not given anything like... — read more
Age Discrimination
My concern is that just because im under the age of 39 i only have 15 days to decide and not 45 days. What does age have to do with it. We should all get either the 15 or 45.I lose out on that extra check and my Sam's share.
No respect for the individual
I’m a PTC for 11+ years. Been with the company over 25 years. I can see the writing the wall that our positions are going to be eliminated too. It’s so nice to see that the company is more willing to pay to outsource our jobs instead of caring for... — read more
They laid off receiving and claims right before holiday?
Uh? Is that true? What kind of bozo does that in the lead up to holiday? Inventory and shrink will get astronomically worse as clubs struggle to figure out those new functions during times of peak inventory flow. Just wow....
