How to have a life outside with constant schedule changes?
It has become almost impossible to have a life outside of work because my schedule changes non stop. It is a major source of stress and a potential trigger for depression. The only way out is to quit, but unfortunately, I can’t find any better job... — read more

New hire already called out

What makes the foundation of a good club?
I hate to say it but my club leaves a lot to be desired and I wish things could be better. I’m yet to see anyone compliment their own club (or another) and it makes me feel like we’re all in the same boat. My question here is are there any clubs that... — read more
Damned if you do
At my club we have members with high expectations and management whose expectations are even higher. I’ve tried balancing both - which can sometimes be in direct opposition of each other. It doesn’t really work out well if you are a people pleaser... — read more
Communication = zero
Well there you have it. If anyone thinks our management will tell us, well dream on. There is zero communication in our club. It is a fly by the seat of your pants operation or better yet, a need to know operation. Ridiculous. I just gave a new... — read more

Happy Fourth of July!
Shoutout to my peeps who have to work today. I'll save you a cold one.
A little piece of hatred
Has anyone who leaves reached a point where they’ve tried to let go of any animosity towards their club but in the end there is still a part of them that hates the company? I’ve been gone for a few weeks and I have to say that just thinking of all... — read more
Hiring people who are 17
So I always thought you had to be 18 to work at Sam's. We have a new associate who is 17. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against young people, however she cannot be on a register and of course cannot sell alcohol. Thoughts? Is this a new thing... — read more

Best incentive out there for members and associates alike. I am going to guess they will be back in the Café by September or late August.
Newbies setting new records
It has happened before, that new people come here and stay very short. Lately, however, this has gone up a whole new level. People who come here do not stay even a week in this company. Literally, new records are constantly being set for how short... — read more
Too big to fail?
That would be great if it was true, but I'm afraid it's not and Sam's is slowly falling apart. It’s getting harder to work here every day. Why do some think this troubled company is too big to fail? I would like someone to convince me of that, with... — read more
Treatment.
One of our long term associates retired about a week ago. A COS handed him a cake. Did not even have a name on the cake. Not one manager said anything. This person had been very hard working and productive. Now we really know what they think of... — read more
Why don't they care about reputation?
It is interesting to me that those at the top are not doing anything to improve the reputation of this company. I wonder how many years it would take to repair its reputation, because now it seems to me that this is a hopeless case? That is... — read more

Best way to handle bullying?
Understand that bullying is not new but when it affects associates and their mental health, how do we go about action? Our GM may be the biggest bully and encourage such action. MSL calls other MSL's on off days with accusations of errors and... — read more
