It’s no secret that as Night Shift hours change, many lives will be impacted—those of the associates, their children, and their loved ones. There are associates that have purposely chosen to work 9:00pm-6:30am so that they can care for their family... — read more
It's all about greed
The whole reason they are eliminating night crew is because they're greedy. The huge PERMANENT tax cut they just received last year wasn't enough for them. By cutting 3rd shift they won't have to pay shift premium across the board. But don't think... — read more
Severance
Are part timers ever offered severance?
How does it work with overnight being cut?
Is there a lot of confusion at the clubs? What challenges come up in the first period after the implementation? I imagine that it takes some time for the associates to get used to that situation and that a lot of things get done wrong at first? Any... — read more
Plus challenge drama
Our club has not gotten a single upgrade or credit this entire challenge. I plan on walking out today at 5.
Talks about eliminating savings memberships
Just heard talks about going strictly to plus only so like Amazon prime. Also heard spossibly monthly membership fees and such being thrown around. We should get rid of savings becuase everyone knows only the poor have savings memberships and usually... — read more
Last day of plus challenge
You better get 50 plus today or the entire front end is getting coached. Get engaged and dont forget to make it fun.
420 shenanigans
Putting a little Easter sunshine in the pizza dough tomorrow. Cafe is going to be lit on my last day.
SZ 13 Ruby Slippers
I am a big guy but I was hoping someone out there had a size 13 pair of ruby slippers I could borrow. I am hoping that if I put them on I can click my heels together and be magically swept away from the nightmare that is Sam's Club !!
No more clubs being turned into fulfilment centers?
They seemed to be doing that constantly but for a while I haven’t heard that a club has been turned into a distribution center for e-commerce. Have they stopped that process for some reason or is the information about such transformations flying... — read more
Membership
Anyone else tired of not having In Field offers posted by HO? We cant do our jobs if they dont put our in field offers and posters on the wire. Tired of them waiting until the last minute. That's definitely not good for business if we cant get... — read more
Team lead block scheduling hours??
What are your guys hours? Set days off? Do you pick them? We go to block on june-ish july-ish. Fill me in...management says they dont know. Cant really trust them anyways.
Being the best has become a liability
In the past six months 3 associates that have been considered the best performers at our club have been laid off. They weren't old folks, they were people in their thirties but with 10+ years expirine at Sam’s. Have we really become a company where... — read more
Meeting
My manager just confirm Restructure meeting next week
Last day in cafe
I hate this place and the stupid members we are supposed to bend over backwards for. You are all stupid to continue to work for this cringy trashy company.
Can't say much has changed in 18 years except there are less people to do the work
What I find even more appalling is on a local level. Home office comes out with a new policy and inside of 48 hours our DO and/or GM is telling us 'it doesn't apply to us'. Doesn't matter what it is. Sell down to pallet change? Not us, keep fronting... — read more
Quality associates fled the business
Northeast Clubs are doubly penalized. The Home Office for years has promoted high turnover to keep wages low, diversity hires versus standards, and no leadership or communication until it was time to eliminate positions and restructure. Quality... — read more
Block Scheduling and Things that are good for us
In the many years I have worked for Walmart / Sam's 95 percent of the things they said were for our benefit only hurt us. When they start out describing a new policy or procedure by saying how good it is for us then you can bet very assuredly that it... — read more
Think they made the decision to introduce block scheduling on purpose, so more people would leave
Don’t get me wrong, I love my job, but I love my family more. With block scheduling they imposed on me a choice that is already made in my head. With the new schedule I absolutely can barely send any time with my family. So I’m looking for a new job... — read more
Severance?
Looking for information from clubs whose nightcrew has recently gone to days in the last few months. Were you offered a severance? Did you qualify for unemployment? Please no speculation, looking for accurate information. Thanks
The guys that just started are paid the same as I am
I imagine that there is a very small number of people working in retail that are satisfied with their pay, but I found that two of my new colleagues that started a couple of months ago have the same pay as I do. Also I know a guy that works for two... — read more
Tiger Woods Wins
Tiger has come back to win the Masters ! And as winner of the Masters he is entitled to a year's supply of Polish Dogs !!.
Is there anyone that’s satisfied with block scheduling?
I’m scrolling through these post and I can't seem to find a single positive comment about block scheduling. I share that dissatisfaction, but at the same time I can’t get it through my head that the leadership doesn’t see a promplem with imposing a... — read more
Are any clubs reducing staff at this moment?
There has been a reduction of staff at my club. Is that something that is happening at other locations as well? In other words, is there some sort of a general plan to reduce the number of associates at certain clubs, or is this a specific situation... — read more
The managers know what’s happening with different positions in the club but don’t say anything
A little honesty goes a omg way . That’s what’s lacking at Sam’s club . The managers know what’s happening with different positions in the club but don’t say anything . For example the business office went live on Thursday and no one in management... — read more
BYOD
Any info on discount from your carrier? No one seems to know. If we continue to use our devices for work we need compensation.
Success Stories
Who on here has left Sam’s Club and went on to a better life? I know there are some good success stories out there. When I left Sam’s Club, people said this and said that, some scare tactics to keep you in the Wal-Mart mindset, which according to... — read more
Their plan all looks good on paper until the ones that actually have to do the work run into all of the "hiccups"
Their plan all looks good on paper until the ones that actually have to do the work run into all of the "hiccups". We have had several slot tags (CIM labels) from the D.C. (sometimes a whole truck) not scan. Therefore having to remake all new tags... — read more
Block scheduling means I can’t work
Don’t want anyone to feel sorry for me or anything like that, but I imagine that the schedule changes affected more folks in the way It affected me. I had to quit, given that I have a specific situation at home that prevents me from being able to... — read more
Is home office just being ignorant?
Why does home office think that all is well and dandy at clubs, or are they just being ignorant? CIM is horrible, 80% of the time merchandise is not in location. Who are you kidding? Audits are horrible, not to mention final club inventories, then... — read more
I wish
I wish mgnt wete held to the same standards as hourlies..sad they hold us accountable and they keep being late with no repacutions. I know not all but I tell you the ones that are shouldn't be holding us accountable that s---s .
Use protected time off get a point anyway
At our club if you put in fort PPTO you get a point anyway..that is if you don't go fight for it...when you put it in the managers deny it first and then you have to go and beg for it..this is an ethics issue..if this continues it will big a big time... — read more
