Not the Waltons
Most of the Waltons no longer have anything to do with how the company runs. The big greed is in the hearts of Doug and the rest of the execs who look at the Lifestyles lived by the Waltons and become envious because their own measly millions will... — read more
MX voices/ today’s subject

Other clubs using temp workers?
Caught wind about other clubs in our area using temp workers, why in the world would sams be using those? I'm at a small club so I don't think we'd ever need them but with everything going on in this company you never know.

Prepared Foods I Block Schedule
How are other clubs going about Prepared Foods I (HMS/Rotisserie)? My club is saying there should be only 1 Full-time in that position but there is confusion on who does rotisserie the rest of the night after 1:30 and how the opening full-time is... — read more
Tire and battery
TBC never gets any appreciation for anything we do. By far, we are the most underpaid position in the club bar none. The skills and knowledge to be a good tech is hard to find and for what they classify us for in terms of pay is utterly degrading. We... — read more
Did block schedule claim its first victims?
Just curious. I know of a lot of people that claimed that block scheduling will make it impossible for them to work anymore and that the implementation of it means they won’t work for Sam’s anymore. I'm interested about reports about people that... — read more

No manager has spoken to me about my position, which I KNOW is going away. I’ve spoke to 3 other accounting associates in my market and they’ve all been spoken to a month ago. This morning, I received an email from Workday to update my talent... — read more
Health and wellness
All these changes at club levels and no changes in health and wellness? Hard to believe- although profit margins are higher then in other areas- I still wait for what’s to come in health and wellness
details please !!
I have asked several times for associates at clubs doing day stocking for some time now to speak up. Yet there is very little response. My guess is that it is disastrous. With so many people leaving our club there is no way that on June 22 this is... — read more
