Thread regarding Sam's Club layoffs

HHMMMM.....

I am humored by the managers on here crying about how bad the company treated them. I have seen few managers who did not in some way treat the hourlies poorly. Then when the hourlies complained the managers just told " well , that's just how it is" or some other unfeeling comment meant to minimize the associates feelings. I have seen favoritism and outright meanness. Managers who would not hold their favs accountable while threatening to fire others for a skid being a millimeter off line or for simply having an opinion of their own.

I could go on and on , but I will not because I am sure that both managers and hourlies get the point.

I do sorta feel bad for the managers losing their jobs but all of you who are managers should stop and think about how you have treated people over the years and consider that chickens may be coming home to roost................as will my own at some point I am sure..............

While I do feel bad for anyone losing their job, they weren’t just picked ar random. In my market at least, it was the markets decision who to cut. One was someone who had been an assistant for 20 years. I get that. Crap or get off the pot. But I completely agree about the treatment and favoritism. All of our managers were shuffled, except one. This person is the CM’s favorite assistant, yet contributes the least to the team on a daily basis. I wish associates were allowed to rate all members of management during AES on certain criteria, like effectiveness and communication, so that could be included in their evals.

I can't speak for anyone else.. but our night manager just got his walking papers yesterday. Our night crew was like a family and some associates actually cried when we were told. The took away the head of our nights family and will likely replace him with someone WE have to train Because he'll do the job for chump change compared to the veteran night manager we had.

When our sales etc drops next quarter between morale being rock bottom and us not having a competent manager they will of course blame the associates rather than the bad decisions they made in removing the leadership that has made our success possible.

Well said I feel the same way at times. The favorites never do no wrong and get all the praise. Every job opening forget it they already know who their choosing. It’s a joke how they run the business maybe if they would spend less time walking and talking to favorites they could get more done. Managers do absolutely nothing but sit in the office when CM not in.
