Thread regarding Sam's Club layoffs

What about the receiving team lead position is it being eliminated or restructed?

Market teams in our area are two people they don't drive 500 miles and it isn't an easy job.

I wish they would just make an announcement by December 1 and get it over with

PTC - how can you get ride of that position? Now of your managers have the time to sit down An help associates out with question that they don’t know about. Just saying

Wow this company is a real class act.

1bzv Why need another grocery team lead when there already is one? Membership manager/lead being deleted but not coordinator and champion? Optical being bought out by what company? So many more questions....... I feel as if you compiled all the info on this site into one post. eyeroll

I have confirmed with my Gm that by January there will be several more departments hit. All gms know. They received the info already. I’m leaving and we have always been pretty close so i was let in the loop. I have spoke openly with many managers about what’s supposed to be coming.

Membership team, team lead and manager being deleted. They will be using social media and other third party avenues. They will also be consolidating the tiers of membership.

Receiving - night crew will be coming to a early and late shift. 4a-12p or 4pm-12a (some may be 3-11). No more overnights so no night manager will be needed. Receiving clerk will be eliminated as well. New software will deviate the current processes eliminating the need for the receiving team. Also with the new shifts they won’t be needed.

Claims will be the only full time associate that stays in the back rooms.

PTC will be eliminated. No more drug tests and all hiring and backgrounds will be done by email by the managers doing the hiring.

A new restructure will create a new grocery manager and team lead. All of the managers and leads will be given more duties.

Jewelry lead will be eliminated having the center lead take over jewelry and only having part time workers doing both jewelry and clothing.

Optical is being bought out by a third party company and will remain in the club like the demos where our current optical workers will have the opportunity to apply with them.

That’s what i know. Hope it helps.

So I'm guessing there will just be a part time receiver. So the person that put we gave less time. So when is are time up?

QlH9vyv-hiq. don’t be so sure. you have less time than you think

receiving to go next? well all this person is talking about is marketing. Will someone that actually knows how receiving works tell us what you think is going to happen? We can all speculate but the real receiving associates have heard and can see things changing especially the clerks. We all know something is going to happen but it's to busy to get rid of us yet. They will wait till after the holidays and get the new spring stuff in before they cut their loses.

Receiving workload has shifted away from the dayside, at least at my club. I know I read things here about team leaders and receiving office working real hard, and I'm sure some of them do. But our daytime receivers have literally sat and done nothing for an entire 8 hour shift before. All of the paperwork is being shifted out of the office and it's definitely showing that they're going to be eliminated.

The purge has started. Marketing departments are being eliminated as we speak. They are marching employees in and accusing them of "integrity issues" as old as two years then firing them. Managers are being told that since there are no employees to supervise, they can accept a demotion to the customer service desk.

The same happens in our club they treat her as if she’s their kid rather than a hourly.

Advantage coordinator in our club is the worst, spends more time with managers than doing her job.

I guess we will find out by end of December!
