I feel like the Union commotion was overblown. Sales for Q2 were pretty good if you read the release.
Conference call
Who had conference calls today
Posted schedule changing all the time.
Lately I've noticed that my schedule changes all the time. They post three weeks out, but I need to check every day to keep up. They are not giving notice of the changes. I know at one time this wasn't allowed. Did it change? If so when?

Just a Thought!
It is very apparent many people are not happy with the Company’s direction or its Leadership. They have contempt for the Company and it’s Leaders. Much of it self inflicted for various reasons. That said this forum is really for keeping it real, not... — read more
Direction from Bentonville
If you would like to know if you are getting laid off, do the following: take 3 pieces of paper, write the word yes on each one, crumble them up and throw them onto the ground, next ask the question: Am I going to be laid off? choose on of the pieces... — read more
People Modernization
Y’all ready for people modernization? So I don’t think PTC’s are going away but there are gonna be some major changes within the role. (My thoughts)
Respect and Ethical Fair Treatment
The Company has left us with few choices they have empowered Market Managers who have totally abused their positions in many cases, are not HR people have no Skills and are frankly the very best reason for Organizing efforts. John Furner is the same... — read more

CEO’s
They have contracts that’s why they can f--- a company up and leave with billions it’s in the contracts they sign. All of these contracts are read by a special team of lawyers, do you have a union rep/lawyers on your side. Wake up someone has got to... — read more
Sales are up. Union threat is toothless
Leadership at Sam’s was just proven correct. Unions have no power here.
6.5% Comp! Best in years, nice. But How?
In today’s retail this is good. But how? Well, let’s eliminate more clubs- check, let’s eliminate more positions- check, let’s not account for inventory correctly- check. Umm, what elses. Poor hourly wages and cutting hours helps a little, so... — read more
Boycott for change!
Tell your friends and family to boycott Walmar & Sam’s if you want to earn respect with all this forum whining. If you hide behind the keyboard but want inflict real change, tell everyone you about your pathetic company. Tell news outlets and spread... — read more
Repost. Employee contempt for leadership
Walmart and Sam’s has apparently treated their employees so poorly that the employees actively root for the company’s demise. That tells me that the treatment of our workers has been so abysmal that people are not only angry with leadership, they... — read more
Holiday Merchandise
I'm curious to see what type of inventory clubs are getting for holiday merchandise. Normally we start receiving Christmas Trees in July, but haven't received any yet. Halloween items are limited to not even a pallet quantity (costumes) no... — read more
Change Champions
Just curious who got picked for change champions In your clubs?
Survey
A new survey to find out how associates really feel? This is a joke. Manager's are hand selecting their personal favorites to participate. No bias there... and you know it's all because someone shouted "union".
Will laid off employees be offered jobs?
Since one of the Sam's Clubs that closed at the start of the year (the one near Chicago) is being turned into an e-commerce fulfillment center, do you think employees who were laid off as part of the closing will be offered jobs before anybody else?... — read more

Club Managers no More
Why do people keep blaming there CM for the way things are. CM's are now just yes men who basically don't and won't disagree with anything the MM wants. They are just like most of us afraid to lose there job and they most likely would if they put... — read more
Club reset
So I’m going to market 28 to help reset a club to a whole new layout? It’s a 4 week project......
Kroger & Alibaba
Even Kroger’s making smarter moves. Good grief!! https://www.reuters.com/article/us-kroger-alibaba/kroger-to-sell-private-label-products-in-china-through-alibaba-idUSKBN1KZ256
Invoice clerk?
Has anyone heard anything more on the fate of the receiving clerk?
Any closings?
I haven't heard about any clubs closing since the big purge from the start of the year. I'm not sure if I'm happy or scared by that fact. It could mean that what Walmart planned to close was closed and the rest of us are safe. Or it could mean... — read more
This was the plan all along.
I know it's hard to believe, but I truly think all this chaos is part of their bigger plan. The Walton's are not turning a blind eye to the craziness. They know what's going on. They absolutely do not care one bit about us little folks. They rake in... — read more
An Open Letter To Wal Marts CEO
Sir, You are along with the board the only power to address the abysmal Leadership from John Furner , Gisel , and in many cases the Market Managers. Associates have no one to go to , no one to trust. Even decent GMs and there are very few of them... — read more

You’ll never get a union in
Give up. Shut up. Do your job. Walmart and Sam’s has been clear on their feelings about unions. If you want a union, work somewhere else.
UNION- Is this where its headed
Was never a big fan of joining a union but something has got to open the eyes of the shareholders. We are headed down a long dark path. Ive seen more talk about unionizing then i ever have and I have been here awhile. Where is all the union reps at... — read more
Favortisim
I have worked at Sam's for over eight years and the favoritism displayed by management to certain associates is out of control. Most of the time we don't even see management on the floor all depending on who is on duty that day. They are are either... — read more

New Front End
This new runner thing is stupid members hate it and cashiers are quitting left and right.... What are your thoughts?
Furner and Crew headed to Walmart US
God help us all. The good old boys from the Sam’s club plague is supposedly headed to Walmart U.S. He was seen at their holiday meeting and it’s believed he will replace Foran.
I'm in with the In Crowd..... Theme song for today
Remember the old song 'In Crowd'.... You have job security if you hob knob with the GM and his AM ...Go party and keep you job...Quid Quo Pro running wild in club... Some of the "in" associates don't do much and spend time in receiving on their... — read more
Just had Inventory...
The Club just had inventory....Way off the numbers....What can you expect when you get rid of the Audit department.
Sam's Club Assets
Remember the posters in clubs where Mr. Sam would display words of encouragement to employes and associate. One of them should have said " treat your employees as assets, not asses, or beasts of burden."
Sam’s Club
If my best friend wanted to work at Sams Club I would tell not to even apply at all. Management doesn't even care about their employees, everybody is two faced when all they want to do is talk behind people's back like if we were back in high school... — read more
Teamwork
Maybe, instead of berating others, we could work together and figure out what the hell is going on. Any real news of job eliminations or restructure?
