I ciuld feel it
I have no intention of quitting
Why would I do Sam's leadership any favors? Why would I play their game and let them get rid of me after so many years here and save them severance money? No. If they want me gone, they will have to lay me off and pay me what I deserve. No favors... — read more

Weekends
So will any position in the club have weekends off? Backroom? I currently have Sat/Sun off every week so how is block scheduling going to affect me? No one here at the club seems to want to explain it.

HO is becoming more our parents
HO is becoming more our parents. Just like being responsible for going to school again. Can miss a bell. And leave when the bell rings. And if you get too many detentions you’re expelled.

With this new scheduling the shift that you choose is it permanent or do we rotate shifts every 12 weeks?
Club pickup
What’s going on in club pickup with your store?
Ones not staying
If your not staying are you quitting or are you going to let them terminate you? It’s sad that after 20+ years you needed to choose between Sams or family. #familyfirst
Salaried manger here
Salaried manager. We had a conference call yesterday. We were told to make accommodations for door greeters who could not do other jobs. Why am I telling you this? I’m losing a lot of great people that’s why! If they make accommodations for one they... — read more
Taking control of people’s availability
I think the main goal of all of these schedule changes is to basically test what employees will not have a problem with the company controlling their time and availability. Now that they’ve seen that these changes can be implemented without any big... — read more

SAM WALTON POSTER
We have a Sam Walton poster in our club and every time I walk past it I stop and tell him I am sorry that your kids F**KED up your dream so badly. Try to calm down and rest in peace.
A nearly universal truth. Those who don't like seniority do not have it.
I chuckle to myself when I read folks on here all teary eyed over folks with seniority getting first schedule pick. It is a near certainty that those who whine about seniority also do not have it. Jealousy Jealousy Jealousy. After the beatings those... — read more

Takeing other’s shift
Can you take a better shift from someone out of your work group if you have more seniority?

Do the closers still stay and close and the rest of the club goes home?
What about the produce audit?
With produce leads closing when do we do our audits?
Backroom associates...
Are you able to get claims and receiving done? There’s 2 of us and it feels like we just run out trucks and I do claims when I can which is not often... IDK if they’re not giving us the help we need or everyone is in the same boat. (2 AM backroom, 2... — read more
Clean slate
They’ve managed to force everyone to have open availability. They’re ridding themselves of anyone with longevity, without offering severance, by cutting, combining, renaming jobs. They don’t have to worry about being accused of discrimination against... — read more

Has anyone been told what asst. manager hours will be when block scheduling actually begins? Haven’t heard anything definitive here.
Sad days for sams associates
Anyone find it odd that corporate is basically saying they don’t need prepared foods or produce leads anymore? 1-930. Never do another order. Never do another inventory. Never do FST anymore. Never do anything that makes you the lead. I think this is... — read more

New people will be from those THOUSANDS that cross the border everyday
And if you get the closing shift, you’ll be here that late on July 4th and Memorial Day and Labor Day when we close at 6. This place has to look like a Grand Opening before you leave.
Leads are not going to salary...
Leads are not going to salary, they are not cutting out a manager just changing some responsibilities and what areas they run, day stocking is hitting clubs in June and you must have open availability or find another job.
