Thread regarding Sam's Club layoffs

March 2019 for above post, not 2018

Nothing will happen until after a new receiving app (fact its coming) rolls out as well as the vendor scheduling app. These app will have to get bugs worked out. Eventually no more smart system receiving appt. with that said most likely nothing happening to clerk til March 2018. Even then the clerk would probably take on a full time dock role if red prairie scheduler allows it. Underlying goal is to make receiving so user friendly anyone can do it IMO.

I was wondering if anyone had heard anything about clerk yet?? Rumors all over, someone said July 6th???

we have petitioned the DC about the poor load quality..no fixing it..not only are the skids against the ceiling the tan skids are often broken to bits..when we changed carriers we also changed DC's ..it is amazing to me the difference between DC's where load quality is concerned...........

50 pallets off a DC in an hour is fine (especially with the added junk) the 1 minute per pallet is more directed towards the comment about someone taking 2 1/2 hours to do a 25 pallet paper truck. If your trucks are coming loaded to the ceiling complain to your DC about it. It's easy for them to push pallets in, but s---s to try to pull them out.

holy smokes...1 minute a skid....indeed SOME loads can be unloaded much faster than that...but the trucks our third party carrier is using to deliver our Sam's loads often come with the skids literally pressed against the ceiling !!!....many of those skids take 5 or ten minutes apiece to successfully unload without destroying merchandise .....a 50 skid truck can take an hour to unload especially since we are mandated to get off the lift and place a date tag on ALL grocery skids. that can be as many as 30 skids on one truck requiring a dismount , a search for expiration date and hanging the tag. At this rate 1 minute per skid is ridiculous. Averaging 1 minute per skid will result in product damage and wasted time picking up dumped skids.

Wow you may want to read the job description you signed that basically they can ask you to do anything needed. Your response is the reason people keep bashing receiving clerk's. There is not enough to do to stay in the office for 8 hours I really hope your CM takes you up on your offer to sue. Please don't lump us all together with this idiot

To 6wlp- Wow you are a lazy and self righteous moron! Do you really think that you are too good to help other associates in bakery or on the floor? You should be terminated for insubordination! EVERYONE’S job description says other duties or tasks as needed regardless of what your job code is. Your CM has no balls to allow you to threaten him with a lawsuit for doing is job and holding you accountable for being a lazy insubordinate associate!

First of all I have refused to do outside the office busy work. My gm has suggested I help bakery. But so far I have not done so. Told him I would sue him for making me work outside my job description. He shut up about it and leaves me in the office. Know your rights as a clerk!

Ok so they do away with all these positions a d then dump them on someone who cdo there daian barely do all the tasks newly assigned due restructure and they don't expect class action lawsuit goo d luck

If you're unloaders are taking more than a minute a pallet to unload you need to get them written up.

Why do you all feel the need in every post to list every single thing you could possibly do in a day? Everyone has tons of crap to do, it isn’t just you. Stop with yourself. You don’t have to sell it to us, we work there too!

EXACTLY!!! I have ALWAYS helped on the dock, claims, etc. I also do all the ordering, M.t.r.'s, etc. I order all the pallet trailers, enter all the bales for the bale trailer and we still have expenses. What most people don't understand is they only took away a little part of our job. It only took us 10 minutes to file paperwork a day and the 2 little reports they took away only amount to a couple of minutes. I can't speak for the rest of the clerks but I'm busy all day. Meanwhile, our unloader takes 2 1/2 hours to unload 25 pallets of paper. So see, there are useless people in every department. It's the individual not the job so quit slamming people you don't know. It just shows your ignorance.

Why do we have to bash everyone who holds a certain position. There are good and bad in every position. Just because your club has a lazy receiving clerk or a whiner that doesn't mean all are like that.

Look at the topic about the PTC’s below this one on the main page. Such a huge difference in the attitudes of the PTC’s, who are also in fear of losing their jobs. I applaud them for their dignity and professionalism during this extremely stressful time. Not once did I read “This company OWES me. I DESERVE a severance. I will not work outside my job code.

Hey, Market Managers!

Why don’t you ask, or better yet, actually come into the Clubs and see how many clerks are still locked up in their offices!! It’s all about the back rooms and Fresh now, so you’re already 90% there! Ask the clerks inside the office after 12:00 o’clock why they aren’t on the floor with a vest on and engaging the Members?? Why not take them up to the front end and let them be a runner?! You guys just don’t want to mess with associates with seniority, that’s all. Clerks will get a hefty severance so you won’t have to deal with empty threats. Ask fellow associates how often the Clerk help outside the office. Some do, I know, but not the last few Clubs I’ve been in.

Our clerk is still constantly whining about when she is going to lose her job. Even admitted she’s suppose to help out on the floor for half of her shift. She has yet to step one food outside that office. She’s going to ride that office chair into the sunset until her very last day. No respect for anybody but herself and her needs. Goooo Team!!

We have a Team Lead, Dock person and Receiving Clerk on our day Receiving crew. However in our club the Receiving clerk works circles around the dock person. Personally I feel like they should make the dock person part-time and keep the Lead and Rec. Clerk. That way the part timer can cover days off and vacations.

If you receiving clerk is in the office all day your management is letting that happen. Ours is on the floor at least half if not more of the shift.

Sadly my receiving clerk does not like to step out of office. Does not like to help with local vendors nor with ups, fdex or anything that has to do with her stepping out of the office. So for my club, we are ok with this. Perhaps a part time position will probably be more productive. My guess is that what happens at my club is probably happening at the majority of clubs. However, too much work for just team lead and one unloader. Day receiving is not all auto receive, it requires more tid for tad procedures, not to mention trying to stage all freight in receiving that makes it difficult to even unload more freight. Need more overnight stockers to move freight out of receiving.

Well, if they are waiting on me to quit , they'll be waiting a while. I can't afford to just quit. They need to figure out what they are going but for now, I'll keep right on working making my rate of pay. Luckily, I'm not treated like a misfit in my club. Very sorry to those of you who are.

"We have the clerk and team lead. We have "miracle" box (which is stupid), both stay busy with research, vendors, scheduling, keying, looking up everything for mgrs. service channel, dropping everything for members and all deliveries through the day including water truck and paper trucks. I thought all day receiving was do the same as us, guess I was wrong."

"We have one clerk, one dock lead, the clerk does the local vendors while the lead clears the dock. We do the water trucks, paper trucks, UPS, FEDEX, take care of the members out the back door. There hardest part for our dock is the disrespect form the floor managers and associates, they think they can just dump on receiving. In the clerks time he does the 99 order, service channel and Bunzl order., the lead put all the supplies away on the 5's - the miracle box is the biggest joke the company has ever come up with.. paperless receiving means more paper. it takes longer to do research.. even harder now if you look at the log to find something it says MTR - auto truck receiving is a nightmare - we have knight as a our carrier, they are behind by a week delivering to the club, yet the system has keyed the merchandise in without being the building. Club Support has no idea what we have to deal with."

Our club is exactly like these...no way in heck could we run without 2 people full time on days dock..the people who think receiving does nothing do not nor have ever worked there ....they lie and believe lies about receiving....DISRESPECT FROM OUR MANAGERS is the most crushing thing about the whole receiving experience...they truly believe receiving is as easy as the wave of the hand.........

I am a clerk and I have always done receiving, file, make appointments, do stuff for managers, I drive a lift, & deliver to the departments once stuff is received!!! So yes I stay busy. If I have down time I go to claims & pull rtv’s & do transfers. I wish they would just make up their mind!

Our guys sit and watch the bold and the beautiful all day

uumm...wow...we have two full time people on the dock in the day...they stay busy...in the clerkless receiving clubs do you have a TL on the dock who does all the work including keying/ research / scheduling / vendors etc.....or are your clubs miracle clubs in that there is zero going on on the dock during the day??

Our clerk still works the whole shift in the office. Not sure doing what...

The severance payouts have been too expensive for the company. Now they're going with "how close to constructive discharge can we get by making your job unbearable"

Whatever I'm told. Whenever I'm told in Any manner they wish. No office time. Never have been so disrespected.

I was in the bakery for 3 months allowed no time in office. Now I do whatever.

Just curious what other jobs in the club receiving clerks are doing besides working in the office and filling the MIRACLE boxes?! How much time allowed to work in office?

No
