As someone Working at Sams that is a lead it’s sad to hear how much everyone hates their lead or how terrible they are. I’m Sure that my associates now think the same of me now. I’m a prepared foods lead who used to be all In it. Who used to be good and I used to give it my all. But this year takes the cake this is the year that’s breaking me officially. I came into this department having already worked in almost all of fresh, started as a cashier. When I had gotten the position, It definitely was just kind of like hey here’s this department has a lot of problems good luck figuring it out. I felt as though we had executed a lot of the problems out. However I feel that every time we were on the cusp of true success that it always back slides down when people left or simply moved on in life as it was just a stepping stone. This grueling never ending process that seems to be in the café has worn me out.
When they initially broke out with block scheduling two years ago(roughly), I literally broke out in hives And my anxiety, and stress have never been higher. I knew I was gonna lose hardworking good people. Thankfully the management we had at the time we made it through it and I was able to keep and work with most. But this time around management we have now on a store level don’t give a f**k. In fact the GM gave pretty much gave full power to another manager, Who is sitting back twiddling their thumbs with an evil grin. Treating everyone in here like playing cards shifting them around seeing who they can put where, who they can make feel like they don’t have any other option.
This time I AM losing awesome hard working people. In fact, we had a whole thing about needing to let go of everyone over 5 points. But yet exceptions have been made for some who have 15! I had to let go of a great worker with 5, and yet am being told let’s make an exception for this one with 15? Who doesn’t work when they are here! Why?!?!? I am sooo angry about it. I can’t even put into words how absolutely furious I am about this.
Then they are purposefully keeping another one of the managers out of everything. Because that Manager cares too much about people. And that right there is the exact reason why I’m leaving.
For well over a month it’s been so hard to come in to this place every day and every time I come in It’s something else every day. I know I’m getting burnt out, so I had applied for other positions, thus opening the door so everybody knows that I don’t want to continue doing what I’m doing. Only for that same manager who has all the power to tell my fellow leads that we had a deep heart-to-heart conversation and that this said Manager had convinced me to stay in my position. When that is in fact not what happened at all by any means.
So not only will I not be interviewed for another position and completely dismissed. Now I just feel like I’m getting pigeon held to what I’m in. When I honestly don’t have it in me to keep on. It’s my time to leave it, I feel it in my bones.
Since they don’t want to even consider it. I’m gone. As someone else had posted about the only thing to fear is fear itself. That post is exactly the way I and others feel here, to the fullest extent.
Needless to say these are just a few reasons why I’m leaving. They don’t want thinkers, they want yes men. I also have absolutely no say in anything that’s happening, so f**k it.
How is it worth my happiness, my stress, my life.
I have put blood, sweat and tears into this business. It’s got to end.
No one ever believed Sam Walton cared about them. Those people weren't stupid, they were poor, and being poor doesn't mean they were stupid.
Sam Walton hired penniless rubes to operate his stores. Most were just happy to make a buck. Most were too stupid to understand he did not care for them. He promoted the ones who were so stupid that they worked themselves silly while believing he cared. Mostly these were not promoted higher than store manager. The ones who were savvy enough too kiss his but and join him in abusing the underlings he promoted to market and regional managers. Most of these still had a bit of inclination that either he cared for them or they were just so much more deserving than the rest, Now the tippy top brass were the ones that knew the entire plot of the story and could be trusted to partner with him in the exploitation of poor needy stupid people. These people he did truly care for because they fully understood him yet were calloused enough to in him in his mission. ,,,,,fast forward to today it is all still the same.
It gave me poor health with all the c-ap you go through. Still recovering
All the blood rushes to my head every morning as I grab my ankles upon crossing the threshold on my way to my shift.
Too much reverse racism. Bad management. Terrible team leads...the bad ones far outweigh the good ones. Terrible pay raises and split days off. Hostile environment. Found much better employment elsewhere!
horrible management
