Accounting going to 1.5 hours a day then you will work on the floor or wherever they want for the rest of your shift. Probably until they get rid of us completely and give the job to a manager to do
Accounting...BE PREPARED!
I don't know if any other accounting associates were told --- our CM held meetings throughout the day and went through the changes that are coming. One of changes is that in May, the cash recycler will be communicating with Smart in essence... — read more
Fresh block scheduling hours?
Does anybody know what the hours will be for the fresh department with the new block scheduling? My team lead would only let me know there would be 3 shifts, but would not tell me the hours.
I asked the same questions when I was new.
And now I will pass on what I was told at that time. When I first started working for Sam's, and new policies we're rolled out it was always the same. Nobody knew exactly how it worked, and it was never completely updated before it was rolled out... — read more
TBC
Does anyone know if Tbc and the team lead will be affected?
Block Scheduling
Does anyone know if the Backroom Associates schedule will change with this block scheduling?
Many of us will be losing points before we even hear what the "rules" are apparently
So, this new program rolls out Saturday and no one seems to know what the rules are. If I am asked to stay late one day and help, that means I leave early another day early so I don't go over on hours. Do I get docked for this? My team lead asks me... — read more
BLOCK SCHEDULING
Does anyone have any information on this new Block Scheduling that is coming? What are the times of the shifts and how is it determined who gets which shift?
We must realize that the people making the concepts are very rarely in the field
I have noticed that a lot of associates seem to be spiteful on this particular chat. I have worked days and nights for years, I have also been in low tier clubs and high tiers. Now, let me set this straight from the angle I see it. Both night crew... — read more
So tired of this place
Of all the changes that make no sense, of all the cuts of positions we need, of members who are becoming ruder by the day... This has turned into a lousy place to work in the last decade. What does it say about Sam's Club if an employee who has been... — read more
The stealth restructure
I understand the need for a company to change, to restructure, to implement new things. I also understand that people are payed to make restructuring ideas and that it’s in their best interest to implement the changes they came up with, no matter how... — read more
Member svc complaints

Membership Promos
I was just curious if any MTL could tell me what the current SIF is? I checked the wire and all the offers are gone. I have been covering for the Frontend and trying to keep up with drives, I have no coordinator. I know the offers were there in Feb... — read more
Daylight stocking will just create a big mess
There is a reason why overnight stocking was implemented in the first place. It’s much harder to perform these activities while the clubs are packed with customers. I realise they are saving costs with this, but if there was no necessity for... — read more
Plus hours only
What do you guys think about the register prompts for members who are shopping before 10 who are not plus members? This is one thing I am actually happy about. As a Member Champ I had a hard time using the early shopping hours as a reason to upgrade... — read more
They like to release the chaos slowly
They like to release the chaos slowly. Instead of causing huge changes at once, they do smaller ones spaced apart. Keeping everyone in constant paranoia and keeping the morale low. These changes can still likely happen. We just don't know when. This... — read more
YBM
The only thing that came out of YBM was night to days, attendance policy and bonus structure that we know for sure. Does anyone know for sure of the other changes; management, third party, etc.? If so, when do we loose FM1? Are the Club hours... — read more
Attendance policy will start Saturday
Attendance policy will start Saturday, and since it will tie into how much your bonus will be, Sam’s Share is going to be quarterly also, just like Walmart. Haven’t seen the policy in writing yet, but it will probably involve the Protected PTO (PPTO)... — read more
Severance?
To the clubs whose nightcrew has gone to day shifts, were you offered a severance?
Why don’t they just lay us off instead of making us quit?
I don’t even want to mention how inhumane it is, cause obviously they don’t care. I never thought I'd say this but it’s better to perform a regular wave of layoffs then to force us to quit with all these shifts an insecutity.
Night Crew Going Away???
How will they determine who from nightshift gets AM shift and who gets PM shift????
With reduction of associates will make the leadership satisfied?
It’s obvious that they are reducing the headcount with these restructures, little by little, without any official or unofficial wave of layoffs. How long do you think that will go on an with what number of reduced associates are the leadership... — read more
Severance & unemployment question
Any receiving or claims associates out there that took severance? Did you file for unemployment also and when? Wondering how that works.
Overnight stocking gone
Overnight stocking gone. All clubs will be doing daylight stocking by July deadline. Does this mean this has finally been confirmed through official channels or is it still in the realm of guessing? I'm hoping we get a final confirmation today, one... — read more

New Attendance Policy
Starting Saturday!!! 5 call offs and you are done. No more 3 for 1. Finally this company got something right. No more night crew calling off 3 days in a row before 2 days off. Best move ever. Training sessions all week. All associates will have a... — read more

BYOD Question.. .???
I have a question for all of you BYOD haters. What do you honestly think the company wants with your “pictures and text messages”?? Do you really think they want to spy on the average Joe shmo meat cutter or sales associate. Get real!
What associates are in most danger of being cut?
Just wondering, is there any certain category of associates that is in greater danger of being cut than others. It doesn't matter what the criteria is, whether it’s based on location, certain job, age or anything else, does any category really stand... — read more

Night managers
A tier 4 club that has 2 night managers and now that they are eliminating the night shift what happens to 1 of those managers?
Being coached for not downloading BYOD?
At my club they are threatening to coach anyone who doesn’t download BYOD, is this allowed? Everyone should have their choice in the matter, as they pay their own phone bills.
Schedule
Is the schedule part of one wire messed up? I can't get it to load.
Points
Finally.. People will be held accountable
Closings
Everyone on here assumed closings would be announced in January. Truth of the matter is - rather than do a sweeping close, they're just doing them on a one by one basis throughout the year. These stores are closing out east. Included is their closing... — read more
What manager positions at clubs were eliminated the most?
I know this was probably already a topic on this boar at some point, but i would like to get some info on this. Is the pattern the same at every club in which changes happened. At my club there were no sifts yet, but I’m not naive to think that that... — read more
