So will any position in the club have weekends off? Backroom? I currently have Sat/Sun off every week so how is block scheduling going to affect me? No one here at the club seems to want to explain it.

I can’t wait to say, “You again” to someone by the time clock when its time to punch in. 😂

HO is becoming more our parents. Just like being responsible for going to school again. Can miss a bell. And leave when the bell rings. And if you get too many detentions you’re expelled.

With this new scheduling the shift that you choose is it permanent or do we rotate shifts every 12 weeks?

What’s going on in club pickup with your store?

If your not staying are you quitting or are you going to let them terminate you? It’s sad that after 20+ years you needed to choose between Sams or family. #familyfirst

If you have a closing shift and we close early for a holiday do the closers still stay until 9:30 and 11:30 ? Like 4th of July and Christmas eve? Etc.

We have a Sam Walton poster in our club and every time I walk past it I stop and tell him I am sorry that your kids F**KED up your dream so badly. Try to calm down and rest in peace.

I chuckle to myself when I read folks on here all teary eyed over folks with seniority getting first schedule pick. It is a near certainty that those who whine about seniority also do not have it. Jealousy Jealousy Jealousy. After the beatings those... — read more 

So with the new block scheduling the managers will ne staying later and coming in earlier to open and close the club ?

They claim this is working in some other clubs? Which clubs have this and is it really working?

Can you take a better shift from someone out of your work group if you have more seniority?

Do the closers still stay and close and the rest of the club goes home?

With produce leads closing when do we do our audits?

Are you able to get claims and receiving done? There’s 2 of us and it feels like we just run out trucks and I do claims when I can which is not often... IDK if they’re not giving us the help we need or everyone is in the same boat. (2 AM backroom, 2... — read more 

They’ve managed to force everyone to have open availability. They’re ridding themselves of anyone with longevity, without offering severance, by cutting, combining, renaming jobs. They don’t have to worry about being accused of discrimination against... — read more

Has anyone been told what asst. manager hours will be when block scheduling actually begins? Haven’t heard anything definitive here.

Anyone find it odd that corporate is basically saying they don’t need prepared foods or produce leads anymore? 1-930. Never do another order. Never do another inventory. Never do FST anymore. Never do anything that makes you the lead. I think this is... — read more

Does anyone know what the block scheduling looks like for cake Decorators

I think this is Sams way of gettinf people out without having to pay unemployment or offer severence. These new hours for block scheduling are horrible. I dont see how they can expect people especially who have kids and families to work those hours... — read more 

My photo department is closing. Why am I not offered severance?

Am I reading it right ? I was FT for 25 years and just went to PT by choice. I have to work 28 hours for 1 hour of PTO ? That comes out to about a week and a half PTO a year 😳 I was used to getting 4 weeks a year !

And if you get the closing shift, you’ll be here that late on July 4th and Memorial Day and Labor Day when we close at 6. This place has to look like a Grand Opening before you leave.

Leads are not going to salary, they are not cutting out a manager just changing some responsibilities and what areas they run, day stocking is hitting clubs in June and you must have open availability or find another job.

Where do you see us in 5 years...

Just curious... is there anyone out there who is happy with the block scheduling? I’d say 95% of my club is angry and upset about it

I don’t know how bad the 2 week notices have gotten where you are all at but it’s to the point where our club isn’t going to be able to function once everything goes through. Not everyone has had their discussion but out of the 60 who have we are... — read more
