What changes are coming to fresh?
Are there layoffs at any locations?
Not that I want to invoke that, but I haven't heard about any form of organized layoffs for a while. Are they not happening, or are they just under the radar?
GWP
Is GWP going to affect the frontend? Cashiers..cart pushers and etc. Or is it just in departments?
Body count
Anyone know the body count from the massive reorg ? I'm assuming it's not just shuffling folks around so that customers have a seamless experience.
Vision
Any updates with vision after the pharmacy cuts?
Great Workplace
Anybody currently running the new Great Workplace program in their store? If so, give us detail on the structure and what salaried positions still exist. Where does asset protection managers align within the new program?
Walmart already lost
https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2019/07/12/amazon-beat-walmart-free-shipping-curbside-grocery-pickup-not-enough/39670175/ The most valuable asset Walmart threw away is its associates.
Claims or dsd next position to be restructured?
Any stores started eliminating these positions yet? I know there was talk of it happening this year but have not heard anything else?
Flex Hours with PTO - violation of contract?
DM has stated that due to the cuts and reductions in hours available per store in the district, pharmacists will be required to flex to meet their base hours if their assigned stores cannot provide said hours. Unfortunately, since the reduction in... — read more
Layoffs in the Ethics area last week?
Read on this board, but also heard that about 200 associates were lt go. Is there any truth to this? Seems like a big number to me, to go under the radar.
This could only mean one of three things
It is unsafe and very irresponsible to do the pharmacist and tech cuts at the same time. Cuts do and will happen, but the way with which this was rolled out means one of 3 things: 1. We are combining with Humana or UHC as a means to survive. 2... — read more
Sales have been dropping lately
I din't think it was possible - this is Walmart after all, nothing this company does has so far deterred shoppers from frequenting our store - and yet it's happening right now. There were slowdowns before, but this is longer lasting than that... — read more

Walmart vs Amazon
Yeah we know we can beat them. Amazon and Microsoft battle for Pentagon cloud contract. Did I read that right ?
Long term associates buyouts
As rumors go, its circulating that 20 yrs + may be offered severance as restructuring is done. Could there be any truth to this?
Promoted to Fresh Cap 1 Supervisor
What am doing wrong. How can I better organize my crew so we can do better. 3weeks ago I was promoted to fresh cap 1 supervisor. Every day we get 9 to 13 pallets produce, 2 pallets fresh meat, 2 pallets bakery, 2 pallets frozen meat and deli, 1... — read more

People Lead

The stress has hit the roof at my store
Any other locations that are severely understaffed? Folks are leaving and nobody is being hired. So, basically we’re overloaded with work and it looks like there is no end to this situation. Any other locations facing the same issues?
What’s the deal with pharmacists being let go?
I may seem like an “alien” on this board, given that I’m not a WM employee. My husband works as a pharmacist at one of the WM locations, and he is scared for his job, and stressed out to the maximum. I was hoping to get some info here on just how... — read more
Is Sam's Club better than Walmart?
As an employer? I have a chance to switch, but I can't decide if I really want to. I've been reading their forum here, and they seem to be in the same if not worse shape than we are right now. Feels a little like I'd be jumping from the frying pan... — read more
Time's Up
Karma has finally caught up with Lore https://finance.yahoo.com/news/walmart-said-to-lose-over-1b-weighs-selling-off-money-losing-online-units-155210117.html
Do employees care anymore?
So with the way employees are being treated, do they even care anymore? Here’s what I mean. If an employee sees a customer stealing or breaking merchandise, do they care? Or has the company treated them so badly, they turn a blind eye? Curious on... — read more
How many people have to work more than one job?
I'm currently juggling my job at Walmart with another one and I know of people who are working three jobs right now just to make ends meat. How many people here are forced to do the same?
Get out while you can myself included
I’ve worked at Sams for 7 years. I really use to love the company. The employees were awesome, people went above and beyond to help everyone out. The pay was decent considering you weren’t running the whole store. This big change of 2019 is just a... — read more

People lead
Curious I applied I work at sams I had 2 interviews Was hoping to hear something by the 30th? Do you think all positions are filled already?
Payouts
I keep hearing payouts are starting in August for associates. But I hear 20 years and up or 15 years and up also heard 10 years and up Trying to get rid of employees with insurance and high pay. Does anyone really know how many years ???
Constant Change, And Not For The Better
I am so over it with Walmart. You can’t say anymore you can retire from Walmart because every 2 years they are changing each position. People wake up. They feel if they give you a $2.00 raise that is exciting, at a point it is but it will be taken... — read more
How many Assistant Managers will be eliminated in St. Louis Area?
I hear about 100. It's a rumor in my store. Anyone else has more info?
People Lead=Age Discrimination?
I'm curious as to how many current PC/TCs are not getting the People Lead position, and what reason they are being given. If they are willing to dump 20+ years of HR experience for someone with little to no experience it sure looks like age... — read more
Changes
All positions to have different title. Only 1 co mgr per building. Asms different title. Cuts on ASMS who dont pass test in foundation classes.
What could be next?
I doubt it will be management, as somebody else predicted. Considering how unexpected the whole Pharmacy thing was, now I'm worried that literally nothing is safe. Do we have ANY ideas if something else might be hit the same way Pharmacy was? Talk... — read more
pcsm question
Is it true? if a pcsm is staffed at your store then the staff rph got axed so the displaced pcsm can take the place? im hearing this in the houston area..
Conference call from HMWD:
Pharmacies are losing 10-20 hrs for pharmacist and techs Even if you are a high script score outpacing company plan profit, you are still affected Staff pharmacist that not displaced are offered lower base salary hours and have to float for more... — read more
