Holiday hiring going on all around retail right now. This is by far the best time to leave all year if you are really sick of this place and what's been going on here. And yes, I know most of that hiring is seasonal, but every company keeps on people who have proven themselves at the busiest time.
I know this does not apply to old-timers, but for those who have been here for just a few years, I'd go for it.
The grass is always greener on the other side. Say what you will about the job you are working but if you working full time and have vacation, medical, and working inside that is a huge plus. I find myself wanting to walk out that door and never come back but at the end of the day I have to ask myself, Is this really that bad? Do not get me wrong, being understaffed and working your tail off day in and day out is extremely frustrating because so much more could be done if we only did things this way or that way. I get it and most of the time all I can do is shake my head and laugh as I truly do not get it but I also have to remind myself that I am working at Sam’s not Bill’s, Ted’s, Sara’s, Jane’s (you get the drift.).
For me, I go in and do the best I can with what I am handed and leave it all behind once I am done. Is it hard some times? Yes, because most of us care about our jobs and want to leave work feeling like we have achieved and earned our pay or as we use to call it, put in a good days work.
I am 100% on board for bettering yourself but also will say this, look before you leap. While you may think this is the worst job that ever existed I can share with you that there are a lot more and if you are not careful you will fall into one of them (Amazon anyone?).
I think most of my issues with Sam’s comes from the implementation or execution of things more so than the change itself. Life is always changing and you have to adapt and modify at what it throws at you. For me, Would I like to leave Sam’s and be done with it? No, what I would like to see is Sam’s ran correctly in all aspects or at the very least care more for its associates. But if wishes were fishes...
At the end of the day what you do is up to you. Be kind to others and be kind to yourself, you deserve it. It is sad to see when others are being treated in a way that makes them feel inadequate and more so when it comes to the workplace as for most of us this is our livelihood. I can put up with a lot of stuff but when you are on the job and treating people with little respect, that is toxic and it will spill over to others and known as the ripple effect (just as treating others with kindness and respect will.).
I just got my free turkey why would i leave smh
I agree anyone under 5 years you could get the same pay if not more somewhere else it is extremely hard to keep new hires at our club most of them do not make it 90 days they come in take a look around see they want 1 person to do the work of 10 and just stop showing up.
Honestly it sounds like a great idea. I have nothing but contempt for Walmart and Sam's Club due to how they treat their associates. However at my age I am trying to look for a career instead of a job, but trust me if I could leave I would do it in a heartbeat.
So true... But few will listen. I don't understand it.
