Thread regarding Sam's Club layoffs

Laid off: All Cash Office Associates Company-wide

Was just informed machines are coming - got to love robots, artificial intelligence and machine learning - whatever the term is.

TL gone and less than 30 hours total for the department. No full time allowed - period - let me repreat this - NO FULL TIME ALLOWED!!!

Severance will be offered ONE week of pay for each year of service.

Godspeed!

Hired by Mr Sam himself. I truly don't believe this was what he envisioned for his dream or his extended family of Associates.

@1grj my thoughts exacetely - at 33 years, the retirement should be fairly close - just hang in there

PnD1Jm2-ugv Wondering why you would have to look for another job unless you want full time at 33 yrs retirement should be close. You would take the 16 hrs and one of them moves on. I know everyone's situation is different.

Even if you find other stuff in addition to the piddly acct hrs you will not be full time. Only way is to get a full time job. it is stated clearly in the printout the gm has. there goes Your insurance. I sure hope the woman that created this robot and made millions off it is happy and content with herself seriously is anyone willing to work 4 days a week for 16 hrs maybe if you are the supplemental income and live very close by but not me. It will be very difficult but I just can't stay under the circumstances. guess I've seen my last team lead meeting lol. dec 1 and counting

How many others think it is BS that we have to train everyone on the machine that is replacing us before we get demoted?
