Topics regarding layoffs at Sam's Club
Is Sam’s the most stressful place you’ve worked?
I changed a few jobs before I came to Sam’s and this is definitely the most stressful place I’ve worked so far. Previous jobs were also in the retail sector, so it is not a matter of the sector but of the company. I am so overwhelmed with work that I... — read more

Is backroom going to get a raise since they claim we're on the same level as team leads but start off at 15 like everyone else ?
Managing multiple bosses
I know, it’s not something that can be changed unless I find a job in a small grocery store, but lately I’ve been really exhausted having to think about how my work performance will be viewed by the many supervisors I have. There are a lot of them... — read more
Too many years here?
I don't even know how I managed to work here for so many years. I didn’t plan to stay that long, but time passed quickly. This is not a company where an ordinary employee needs to spend so many years. I watch young people come, don’t stay around for... — read more

30 + year Sam's Club Associate in CPU
We have a 30 year associate working CPU who never dispenses orders. He purposely mess up when he is forced to do so. So our supervisor way of handling this issue is to not have him dispense. This is so irritating and unfair. I get it he has been in... — read more
These shirts are so comfortable in hot weather
Legacy sick hours. It has been awhile since I have read any posts regarding this topic. I am assuming that there have been no issues using these hours and the managers know how to help out the associates.
Why management does nothing
to slightly improve the atmosphere among employees? Someone here gave a really good comparison, working at Sam’s is like going back to high school. I don't understand why management allows negative patterns of behavior such as gossiping... — read more
Member Specialsts
So what going on with this new member specialist? At our club some are working the desk 5 days a week. Most are doing other thing but not the job they were hired. They still make $16 but the poor person that is doing their job still makes their same... — read more
No more suffering!
Been a week since I walked out! As a fresh lead, I can confidently say that $22 was not worth me losing time with my kids and going on anxiety meds. FAM’s at my club had no clue how to run the place and ran us all til we couldn’t run anymore. No more... — read more
Trepidation of things being too good.
A week or so ago the signs came down and now masks are at the discretion of the member. New hours kick in and we still have members trying to get in after 8:30, had a member show up well after 9 and state they always shop at this time. Scan and... — read more

Sams Club I'm done
I'm a fresh manager and we just had club inventory and Easter I'm working like a red head step child. So when my GM refuse my vacation all I said to myself was I'm done I turned in my resignation and the look on her face it felt sooooooo good.
Back stabbing
Anyone ever had to deal with another coworker whom befriends to move ahead ? You hear them talk negative about them and then when in front of that person complete opposite. I’ve seen this happen in my club and unfortunately I’m not in a position to... — read more
Covid leave
Anyone else have the same associates going out for covid leave and getting paid or just my store?! Can you even imagine if some of the good associates just started doing what everyone else was doing? Amazing some of us still feel guilty when clearly... — read more
restrictions
When did Sam's Club decide it was ok to work with restrictions? I thought if you didn't hurt yourself at work and a dr put you on restrictions, then you couldn't work until the restriction was lifted. We have someone who has health issues and... — read more
Are there any good clubs?
What I mean is, are there clubs with good managers who try to make work as pleasant as possible and foster good and cooperative work environment? When I worked at Home Depot years ago, I remember the store atmosphere varied drastically and it always... — read more

Store manager
Anyone else have a store manager that is scared of an assistant manager? Ours won't do anything against what fresh manager says. She retaliates against people and he backs her up.
Team lead swing shifts
Who else hates the new swing shift all over the place.
How long has it been?

Manager won't help
I'm newish here and there's one thing that's been driving me crazy. I didn't receive proper training, so there are thing I have to ask my manager about. When I do, he never gives me a straight answer. He's only looking to get rid of me as soon as... — read more

What exactly does a Manager Do?
"Placing blame on managers with the changes is not fair. It is home office who is making these changes. TL's do the schedules in our club, they also open the requisitions for jobs and do the coaching. Personally I think this is ridiculous. We have... — read more
The pandemic is just an excuse for layoffs
Whenever our club manager starts talking about the possibility of layoffs, guess what, layoffs happen. I imagine he is very well informed upfront when these sorts of downsizing happen. This time, the other day he spoke that due to the pandemic we... — read more
If a manager has to sign in
If a manager has to sign in so the leads can do schedules, are the leads suppose to be doing schedules. Maybe home office is just too stupid to catch on that Managers have assigned all their task to the leads and are basically sitting in the office... — read more
Fresh Leads are the best leads
Why? To be a lead is to be considered the best associate in your specified area. The best meat cutter, the best cake decorator, the best produce culler, etc. and STILL have a working knowledge of other specialized areas. I'm not saying ALL fresh... — read more
