Thread regarding Sam's Club layoffs

Declare your independence!

Since the last time I celebrated America's independence, I have declared my own independence from this wretched company. I will be having my one year anniversary in a couple of weeks. My stress level is down, my blood pressure is down, and my mental state and satisfaction with life is through the roof.

Make your resolution to find a yourself in a better place and declare your own independence before America's next birthday. Don't just jump ship without a plan. You have to put yourself first.

As Nike says, just do it!

Happy Independence Day!

Contribute the 6 percent pre tax for 401k. There is no reason why you can't take your 2 percent raise and use that to contribute. You lived on that wage the year before. So stay on the same budget and youll be fine. Try it for a month or two and see how it affects your take home pay. You can adjust the percentage at any time you wish until you find out which is the best for you. At the 100 percent match it's legal theft. The money adds up really fast.

Most people at Sam's don't make enough to max out their 401-k. Hell, most of us don't even gross the $20,000 to max out 401-k, let alone putting another 10% in stock. Or buying groceries, or making car payment, or paying rent.

Must have a sad life if you have left the company but still want to come on here and see what’s going on. Your asses are still employed at good old Sams.

Left the company after 25 years best thing that ever happened to me. Make more money now and way less stress. Finally getting the respect we all deserve and getting paid for it with no head games. Don’t listen to the lifers on hear that are brainwashed and on their 2 Nd or 3 rd marriage. Follow your heart and dreams!! God speed.

Ask any of the long term employees. If you invested 10 percent in stock and maxed out 401k over the last 10 years. You should have about 200,000 by now

During that 20 years I invested heavily in stock and 401k. Also have 2 rental properties. I will choose if or when to go back to work BUDDY. I had a plan when I was 17 years old and stuck with it and succeeded. Looks like you never saved for retirement. That's your fault. Nut up and buckle down. I have shown at least 30 people at sams how to do it and they are prospering.

Take off 2 years and blow your savings then enter the work force again and start complaining for the rest of your life. Sounds like a solid plan buddy. Good luck with all of that.

I am happy for you. As a man in his late 20's and 30 approaching I need hope and motivation. I have dealt with this company but am ready for a change.
