If there is any club where the Associates think that their Club Manager should not be gone , or one of the Assistants that is gone should not be gone .... Ask those Club Managers and Assistants the facts of their performance, since some think this... — read more

A Great Company started in 1983 , Trainwreck in 2018
Sam said " Our Associates are our greatest asset, take care of them and they will take care of everything else" .... Today that does not sound like it is followed any longer by this company who I worked for for over 30 years in Management and... — read more
Hourly let go in California.
Anyone part of the 650 let go in California? What did you do in the clubs? Are these numbers from the closures? Or just layoffs? This is not rumours was in news.
Pharmacy and Optical
Has anyone heard of any potential layoffs in the Pharmacy or Optical? Maybe going to 3rd parties?
Good changes
Take the dismissals out of everything the manager restructure is a great idea. Keep the same head count, but now have more managers to actually take care of our members. It shouldn’t be a surprise with how hard Gisel and the other executives have... — read more
Optical
Supposedly health & wellness is going to announce something tomorrow? Does anyone know if they are restructuring those as well?
APM's
No more APMs I gt laid off after 15 yrs did not get offered new grocery safety compliance manager position. Would not have taken it I am done with this company.
Thanks to those posting info!
Just wanted to thank those people who keep posting info from meetings and conference calls, even if it sometimes is not what we want to hear. For some of us, this is the only way to get any information on what is going on, and sometimes it feels that... — read more
Update Resume
Anyone need help updating resume reach out
Who decides who stays and who goes?
I'm just wondering, because we lost a manger today who was one of the best leaders, workers and people I've ever known. And this is not just me, everybody at the store felt the same about him. To say we are in shock would be an understatement. Why?... — read more
Where’s the lawyers??
We were told to fill out a survey. A MANDATORY survey to help them continue to provide our management teams with new opportunities for growth. We were told to be honest. Yet the company was dishonest and used it to terminate us. Sad day! Sad company!... — read more
Old Manager Setup
So there are a lot of long term people here, has anyone noticed a change in the way managers have been in the clubs for the last ten years or so? We used to get new managers all the time, they wouldn't stay in one place for long, they'd be trying to... — read more
Is today the day?
Any chance we finally get to find out what's up today? Who stays and who goes? Who gets to work twice as hard for half the pay and is expected to be happy about it? Or does our agony continues after today? Any info, and I mean ANY info, would be... — read more
Intentionally kept in the dark?
At our location, management has shared zero information with hourly employees. We all know something is going on, nobody is blind, but they simply refuse to say anything, even when directly asked. I'm just wondering if our managers are intentionally... — read more
What happened in California?
Wal-Mart confirmed about 1,000 layoffs in California on Monday, including 650 associates in Sam’s Club locations in Los Angeles, Sacramento and Orange County, and 359 at a Wal-Mart location in Sacramento.
Experience vs Performance?
The newest round of “changes”, seems to me, to be negating everything I have ever been taught or seen of our culture. First of all, coaching for improvement. This now seems to have turned into coaching toward eliminating you! I thought that this was... — read more
Anyone who's nightcrew starts at 4 am on here
Keep hearing nightcrew is moving to 4am. Is there any clubs doing this now?
Year beginning meeting
When is the year beginning meeting being held? Or did it already happen?
Claims
Makes me wonder. Most of the asset protection managers are being displaced. Will claims be next since we no longer have anyone over us or will we be restructured under something else?
It’s time- but be careful!
I am tired on coming on here on here to see what’s next. It’s not fair. I’m tired of the favoritism. Not getting interviewed because management already pre-selected. Schedules changing on a weekly, sometimes daily baisis. It’s time. Here’s some info... — read more
This is getting ridiculous
This is getting ridiculous. While I sympathize tremendously with our salaried managers, it’s about time to kill the rumors about hourly changes as well. The higher ups know what they’re going to do; now it’s time to let us know.
Asset Protection Associate
I keep seeing posts about APM’s laid off, what about Asset protection associates?
Worried wireless associate
Any idea what it could mean for us if they decide to go third party for wireless? Kind of agree with it going third party but hope it doesnt mean lost jobs.
Social Media!!!!
You may get better answers via TWEET - @walmart @samsclub
Optical and Wireless
Any updates on wireless and optical going 3rd party?
Should I feel bad
If I still have a job tomorrow and I have worked hard to keep it should I feel guilty because you didn't meet expectations....
Hoodwinked Public

All club managers getting displaced
All GMS will be displaced then have the opportunity to reapply for their club. If on second or third level coaching they will be let go.
If possible, have a back up
I was a 25-year associate in the beginning Sam's Club was a fantastic company to work for... But as we grew upper management got more greedy and gave less to the associates less and less and less - but, that's okay don't let all this fool you there's... — read more
"ALL FOR ONE.......ONE FOR ALL!"
"Workers Unions" are just that. Workers United to have one HUGE voice. When management is picking on someone to get rid of them, the worker just has to file a formal grievance with their Union representative, who is at your beckon call, and will show... — read more
No one was terminated
No one was yet terminated today. They were displaced. They have options and if they don’t want options then they will receive severance after 60 days. Basically it comes down to cms/assistants with coachings and talent. If your a horrible cm and have... — read more

Its time. We need to unionize.
