Thread regarding Sam's Club layoffs

Former Club Manager

I am a former Club Manager. I was with the company for over 20 years. I left before all of the layofff/terminations. I can tell you I miss Sam’s Club. The grass isn’t always greener on the other side for everyone. For some it is, but I know for me it isn’t. I miss the associates, Managers & other Club Managers.

I know people are worried right now, but try to keep your head up & keep working hard. So many of you work really hard & are why these clubs are so successful. I miss Sams so much. Retail is retail, it’s a struggle everywhere. At the end of the day it’s a business. I know for me I miss it so much it is affecting my new job.

Best of luck to you all.

Well said it’s all about shrink, get real scan n go, self check, no check receipts, but wait it must be the cashiers not scanning merchandise lmao. To control shrink by our cashiers we’re going to 2 people per register. Take everything out of basket because cashiers are stupid and miss items. The members are special scan everything in cart and scan half because you guessed it we don’t check receipts at the door lmao. Then there was scan n go fill your cart scan the least expensive and the scan and let you go free wow this is easy, I’m calling all my friends and family, we’re a big fat joke Sams Club give yourself a high 5.

Be glad you were forced out now. Gissel is running Sam's into the ground and soon we will all he jobless. No detail receiving, no checking prices, no checking loads from our third party warehouse, no audit team, partial audits now, more self checks outs, scan and go (scan a few items steal others) no requiring memberships, no checking receipts...and now shrink is a big topic? Come on now! You take away EVERY key contorl and dont expect shrink to sky rocket? She is mental. So be glad you are now with a company who has some common sense and cares about employees and doesnt want your city to shop for free !!!!

Come on....some of you act like every club manager &/or every assistant manager are terrible people. Knock it off. Not all club managers or assistants threaten people , lie or cheat. They get beat up from members, hourly associates & market managers/VP’s. You guys get upset when you are asked to do what you are supposed to do. If you don’t like Sam’s then leave. Otherwise work on making it a better place to work instaead of complaining.

Managers are superior to others beneath them, the only time the feel as we do is when the tables are turned on them. Don’t get me wrong there are good ones out there, but mostly not.

managers who do not at some point cross over to the associate abusing variety are extremely rare,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Not all club managers treat the associates poorly.

I also miss the other associates and managers. I worked for 26. I have started a new job in retail grocery as a manager. Its hard to catch on to new things. I knew Sams like the back my hand. All policies and procedures. Now i'm starting all over. I understand what you are saying. I did love my old job. I will keep trying to improve my knowledge at my new company.

Good luck to all.
