Thread regarding BJ's Wholesale Club Inc. layoffs

Clubs are a disaster!

Just wondering what club conditions are like for those who are still working for this scumbag of a company.? Here is what is happening at various clubs in one region. Information provided by managers and team members in the area.

  • Frozen freezers overloaded with product. One club stuck their overstock frozen product into a cooler and dropped pallets of ice in order to try to lower the temperature to preserve product.
  • Same for dairy. Dairy pallets and milk scattered about in coolers. Nobody to pack out.
  • Produce departments are a mess.

A going out of business sale look. Clubs don't have team members who know enough to make out a intelligent order.
Department not staffed to take care of the business. Can't pack out the product properly anyways.

  • Bakery. Some clubs have only one baker. Unable to full fill cake orders. They had to stop taking any cake orders. Very few team members trained as decorators. Most of the bakery managers who left did 90% of the decorating.
  • Deli departments are filthy. Team members have to take short cuts to try to get the work done. First thing to go is sanitation
  • Meat departments. Poorly staffed. No selection. Looks like a b..b went off.
  • Sick calls where always a issue. Now they are out of control. No options to fill lost shifts.
  • Team members are exhausted and disgusted trying to do what they can to keep things together. Resulting in toxic work environments.

The clubs are a complete disaster and BJ's is in total denial!!! In almost every club the customer service has turned from bad to horrible, already overworked team members are now completely overwhelmed and almost a full month later most locations still aren't even close to filling the roles that were "restructured" under the guise of teaching/training/retaining top talent. Bj's had top talent and instead opted to treat them like garbage and show them the door. All the remaining team members saw that and have no desire to stick their necks out for little or no reward. And to top it all off, they watched H.O. celebrate themselves by announcing a new state of the art facility and a strong start to 2021. Not to mention the insane bonuses they all just earned (earned is a relative term, as they earned it on the backs of those they just released and cheated out of millions)!! Talk about a company that has turned tone death to it's employees and members!! Read the comments on their Facebook page and you'll get some idea what is really going on. And BJ's always poses and postures with the PM thing and asks for the club's location and incident details like they have no idea why any of this is occurring!!!!! REALLLY! You did it to yourselves. They never answer a members direct question and are DESPERATE to cover up what they have just done. It's still amazing the press hasn't said a word and that some legal actions haven't been taken against them, although I think that's coming in a big way. Everybody who was let go take a good look on their Facebook page at that press release announcing Bob Eddy as the new CEO. That's one of the principal faces that stole your job and severance money and lined his own pocket!!!! He's one of the main reasons you have no support in the clubs and one of the main reasons members should be incensed right now. And again, during this latest press release BJ,s mentioned nothing of their changes in the field. He should be ashamed of himself and may his karma follow him and BJ's the rest of their days, The lives he ruined, the severances he stole and the damage he helped do to the company can never be repaired.

Check your schedules and make sure that you aren't being coded in as a Night Manager and taking care of tasks that fall under that job title. That's what they're trying to do to me this week. Next week, I'm back to being zone lead. I'm going to see if I get paid properly and you should too.
