If the home office really wants the long term employees to leave... offer a buyout package for people there 20 years or longer. It will save the company money over the long term and create some good will. I think many would take it... If you want the... — read more
So how many are planning to leave at your club?
With the coming changes that will see our lives locked into an uncompromising schedule the number of people planning on leaving at my club has skyrocketed. We're actual living people, Sam's, not that you really care. And you sure as sh-- don't pay us... — read more
Club Managers No Weekends Off
I certainly hope managers and club managers are subjected to the same restriction of neither weekend day off for eternity without PTO. Seems fair to practice what you preach as a good change.
Positions eliminated
Jewelry lead, accounting, and comp shopper all eliminated with no severance offered!! No severance offered because it's just restructuring positions. Unfair!!! They will never have to pay severance again unless a club closes!!
Which is it?
Is it based on tenure in the department or tenure in the club? Or who ever they want to pick Who has the paperwork?
Are we gonna see more part timers?
It all looks like the leadership is steering the situation towards long timers leaving on their own, so I couldn’t help but wonder what comes after they’ve achieved that goal.Someone has to work, so my question would be, are we going to see a bigger... — read more
No Sam’s share for part timers
Found out today that if you work part time, the company has structured it so part timers will NEVER qualify for a Sam’s share.
What would you Ask Sam?
I found a new way to waste time on the sales floor. It involves a handheld and a app. Now I am not a big app person. But nothing is more fun then walking around the club and asking Sam on the Ask Sam app what is this or where is this or who is... — read more
The company is circling the drain
The company is circling the drain. People who have left the company in the home office will tell you of the “5 year Bust” plan. They are going to cut inventory, expenses, and payroll to the bare bone. If sales don’t increase the company will close... — read more

Part time in cafe
Does anyone know what the part time shifts are going to be in the cafe?
Leads
What are the leads hours and days off?
Stepping down to PT to avoid having to close every single night.
If we choose to step down to part time instead of taking the offered FT schedule, I know we get to keep our base pay.. the question is, does anyone know what benefits we lose going to PT? Do we lose our medical insurance?
Why is Sam’s the only company that imposes changes so suddenly?
I know change is something any company can’t go without, especially retail companies and I get that it’s logical that most of those changes are implemented on the floor of the stores, but I didn’t see a lot of retail companies that made so many... — read more
Comp Shopper
Can anyone give any details on this..I've seen multiply scenarios. Seems like every Club is doing something different with this job to me it seems like it has been eliminated.
Full Time Jewelry Associate
Just wondering which shift has been offered to full time Jewelry Associates who are NOT Team Leads. 4am-12:30pm? 11am-7:30pm? 1pm-9:30pm? 3pm-11:30pm? I haven’t had the one-on-one with the GM yet and would like to know what’s going on in other clubs... — read more
Freezer/Cooler/Deli Block Schedule?
Does anyone know how they might do the block scheduling for Freezer/Cooler/Deli considering we are three different areas combined into one? It makes it especially confusing when adding in the night shift transition and not knowing if that means the... — read more
MSS
Do those in the MSS position get to choose their days off or is it predetermined?
Sam Walton
Tired of hearing Sam would not do things this way or that way. Well, unfortunately he is deceased. Do you guys really expect his children to run the company the way good ole Sam did? Not gonna happen folks. They will run it however they want to. Sam... — read more

Do you pick your hours and days off by length of service with the company or length of service in a position? ?
Maintenance block schedule
Is maintenance on block scheduling? If so what are the shifts and days off? I haven’t had my one on one yet.
Is block scheduling really that bad?
I swear I haven't heard one single positive sentence about block scheduling. On the other hand, at work people seem to be complaining mug less. Of course, nobody liked it, but folks seem to be adapting and it looks like they made their peace with... — read more
Club Pick Up
It’s really true that Club Pick up Automatically goes to Carts and Floor associates randomly pull orders?? So the Club pick up associates have no option to keep their job of picking orders? Any one else think this is absolutely crazy?!
27 years
I have the longest tenure in my department, and I have not had my one-on-one yet. Are they trying to tell me something? 🤣
To all you block schedule haters
Stfu stop asking stupid questions. Weekends off will never happen so stop complaining. This is the best thing the company has ever done as it honors those who have put their time in fair and square. Dont like it? Theres the f---ing door! Ha!
Days off are they really a CHOICE?
Are you required to have day off back to back "OR" can your days off be separate? Also has anyone gotten weekends off as their days off?
Here’s a cool song about changing

I’m gonna be the next Employee Of The Month
I ciuld feel it
I have no intention of quitting
Why would I do Sam's leadership any favors? Why would I play their game and let them get rid of me after so many years here and save them severance money? No. If they want me gone, they will have to lay me off and pay me what I deserve. No favors... — read more
