Layoffs at Sams HO

I can't speak for most areas, but HR didn't have anything to do with the layoffs at Sams HO. Deloitte was hired to "help simplify our jobs" a few months ago.

And that's who was there walking people out and watching them pack their boxes today. What really effing blows is that I was part of the super important "focus group" of associates they set up interviews with and got information from.

They made it sound like it was a privilege. HA. It kills me to know that I basically helped eliminate my own job by providing them with information. I should've seen this coming.

Comment! It's anonymous!

The "Big Brother" consulting firm that was in our Club recently costs who knows how much!!! And that explains where some of the raise money has gone since we now receive only a paltry 2%. We have been told that Sam's Club is moving in a "new direction." I ask...what does that really mean?

Read the news. All of retail is in cut mode. With people working crazy long hours and making less money, who has time to go to the store or money to shop?

And yes, if consultants are studying your job, you need to prep for layoffs. It's an industry wide thing right now.

Funny, Same thing with a survey group/efficiency study that was coming to our company, guess that is the first sign of the axe coming

I'm sorry to hear about this.

Note to all involved. If you get sent to some focus group and they start asking you about what you do, you better come up with a long long list. Walmart is in cut mode. It's all over the news.
