Thread regarding Sam's Club layoffs

It seems pretty safe to say that even before the company ignorantly decided to farm out personnel to Workday, there was a considerable challenge in bringing in new hires. To be fair, the process itself was a little too drawn out when it still was ours to maintain and, too often, we would lose potential new associates simply due to the fact that they weren't inclined to wait through it and would wind up taking positions with other employers. Bear in mind that this predicament goes back at least a dozen years and since then, the process has been impacted all the more, by a vastly negative public perception. Very few people want to have anything to do with being an employee of this company which means those who apply to us have been turned away virtually everywhere else and are desperate by the time they consider us as an option. The other side of the coin is that we're so understaffed that we're desperate for help, too. So desperate, in fact, that we'll hire anyone with a pulse and, sadly, most of them don't last very long once they do manage to actually get out on the floor. This would be true whether we had Workday or not. Workday only serves to increase the problem because the process becomes so convoluted, it takes three to four weeks to get people who aren't exactly thrilled to work for us in the first place, inside the door once they've received and accepted job offers. Our company creates all it's own messes and rather than doing things to solve the issues, creates bigger problems by making even worse decisions. You can pretty much apply this toward any area within our daily operations. It's nothing but one big internal, home-brewed, clusterf–k; insitigated by executives who only care about cutting costs and perpetuated by clueless decision-makers who have absolutely no idea how to properly staff and operate a store. The idea is to get by on less than the bare minimum, the cheapest way possible, with the most boneheaded of systems. Leave it to Walmart to constantly perfect the method of how not to run a business. One of these days it will hopefully and finally, blow up in their faces.
