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.

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 

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.

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.

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

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 

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 

Looks to me like Sam’s Club is getting top heavy. Too many chiefs and not enough Indians.

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 

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.

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 

Just curious... how many of you are taking the severance and leaving?

Heard the company is soon going to this type of scheduling. Some clubs are already doing it. What are the details on this?

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 

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 

Has anyone been told what the new hours would be? We was told working weekends and that there was no set schedules anymore.

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 

Does anyone know if three clubs with overnight crews will eventually go to days? And what about those who are overnight in receiving overnight?

Just wanted to start a thread and see what people think about the new position: Sam's Club Back Room Associate.

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

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

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.

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 

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....

I have seen a lot of questions on here about the severance from yesterday. Seems management wasn't very clear. No surprise there! So can people give details to the severance they were offered? Do you get the 60 days or not? Do you have to stay the 60... — read more 

After yesterday, I'm hoping today we'll be spared any additional stress, but I know that's probably hoping in vain. Do we know what kind of surprises we have to look forward to once we get to work?

Do we loose sick time when taking severance

You need your head examined. A place that takes away 2 positions and right away replaces it with 2 other positions that probably doesn't pay as much but will expect a lot out of you? That is just dirty as you can get! Blessing in disguise for a lot... — read more
