Thread regarding Sam's Club layoffs

The Fresh Team Lead at my club walks around all day, with the bakery manager, and another of their bodies!
What’s best about that? Walking all day?

Op - How many hours are you budgeted?When I was a produce lead my budget was 100 hours per week including the lead. 2 full-time and 1 part time and this was including the lead. So how good are you really? You've just been taken to school

OP You left out the most important responsibilities of a Team Lead. All you did was recite tasks, which almost anyone can do do. The most important responsibility of a Team Lead is managing people and providing leadership.

My fresh team lead was the absolute best of walking around not doing a thing, except flirt with women all day. He had his favorite associates and they were the best at doing nothing with him. He was very good at seeing who the best workers really were and took advantage of them. He knew they actually cared about making things right and they had the work without supervision attitude. One time he had a new female associate, with large breast and butt, help him count the freezer. He pulled out the pallets and watched her bend over and count. A job that should have been less then 3 hours became a 6 hour job. Meanwhile I was struggling to get our HMS case filled because we had a callout that day. I went on break and they were sitting in the breakroom. She was reading off the numbers while he filled out the audit sheet. She should have handed him the paper and came to HMS to help me. BTW her breasts helped her get the new salaried position for membership. That and being great at s—ing up.

Really because My Meat Lead cuts meat, My Bakery Lead bakes, My Produce lead zones produce, and My Prepared foods lead cooks chickens. They are really just over paid fresh associates who fill in for their understaffed areas. Basically anyone with a GED and 2 hours of time could learn to be a fresh lead.

My Bakery team lead was the best ,she did more in one day than any manager & knew a lot more about the in's and out's of the club. She did all the scheduling( when team leads had to) all the ordering ,dealing with the vendors in club and there district managers. She helped the cake decorators when they got behind because we were always busy, she would help wrap if that side needed it. She was one of the hardest workers always going. Then you look at the meat team lead ,what a loser would be in the back talking to his other co workers or just walking around doing nothing. I don't think I ever seen him work inside the dept. once in awhile he would drive over frozen from the other freezer and put out chicken I think I almost fainted the first time I saw that! The other team leads in our club were just average also did a lot of standing around talking unless they saw the GM coming then they acted busy!!

Our bakery team lead of over a year cannot bake , cannot decorate And cannot drive a fork lift.... 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️Needs help doing the Bunzel order... which is the only order we don’t do!!!

Holy c––p. Our Meat Lead doesn't know a chicken wing from a pork chop, and so proud of it. Never picked up a kn––e in his entire life. Leads are simply hourly asst. club Mgrs. How could you say they are the best in their supposed "dept of expertise". You gotta be kidding me. Those days ended 15 years ago, when they decided the salaried Bakery Mgr didn't need to know a bagel from a biscuit. Same with Meat Dept. 15 YEARS AGO. Just two or three short years ago, I would agree leads were the best in the Dept (for their particular club), but those days are so long gone. You either have the personality to go MIT,or you don't. It is really as so simple as that. I otherwise love your passion for the company, but don't mislead people. It takes many years to be the best of any dept., and most folks like to stick to what they know. Going in to management you don't have to be the best at anything except being cold hearted, and willing to buy in to the corporate fantasy world, and it's just one step closer to being out the door.
