Thread regarding Sam's Club layoffs

Today is my 20th anniversary with the company. When the certificates and plaques come in, they are thrown out in the hallway in a pouch attached to the wall to be picked up in passing. Why in the world would I think its a big deal, when management couldn't care less if they tried. I've done this work for 43 years. The way things are done now goes against everything that I was taught since 1980. This place has non-existant communication, consistency, accountability, and back up plans. It's on auto-pilot. About four years ago, the company direction was to put people in leadership positions in departments that they have zero idea what they're doing in. ON PURPOSE!! There is no accountability literally because the leaders have no clue what people need to be held accountable for in their department. Two people have walked off the job just because of being stressed, and walked in a day or two later like nothing happened. And nothing did happen! There is no consistency. Multiple people have had attendance points in the range of 15 to 20, had them erased multiple times per person, and other people have been fired for a lot less. There is zero communication from management. Things like re-sets, item number changes, DC outages, and other such critical information never reaches us. We are in the dark until we find out that decisions we made in the meantime would have been much different if the information was simply communicated to us. But no. It sits in someone's email until the problem is compounded, and they finally wake up. We don't ever have any idea if the next shift is covered coming in behind us. That information is important for our decision making, but we stay in the dark. Auto-pilot. Then leadership stands around and looks at each other wondering how things could have gone wrong. Then they take a problem, move the problem somewhere else, to shut someone up, or to say they did something, and call the problem solved. Sh-t for brains. If you have four full timers in a department, you don't ever have four people in one day. Everyone gets two days off, so you have three people not four, six days a week, and one day a week there has to be two people off, leaving you with two on duty. You don't ever have four, so don't say you have four. 20 year partners get 304 hours PTO every year. That's about 7 1/2 weeks. God forbid ANYONE dare want to use it! Now your four person department has two people. Oh let someone get sick at the same time. Zero back up plan. Leaders just look at each other like they never saw it coming. I wrote all these things on the AES today. I know it's not anonymous. That's ok. A manager stood right behind me when I did it last year. That's not ok. Time to tell the truth. The best thing the newcomers have going for them is that they don't know how it used to be. Like a family. It's now unrecognizable. I don't know why anyone would shop with us. It looks like failure by design. I saw it at my last job. Like a three to five year exit plan, and we're well over a year in to it.
