Thread regarding Sam's Club layoffs

Over the years

I have been with the company for many years. Over that time I have seen many many good workers come and go. I have also sat perched on the edge of my seat each time a management restructure or the like came down the pike. Always concerned about changes. Thus far I have remained unscathed. Mainly in my opinion because I never desired to move into jobs that were more high profile. Come in do my work and go home has been my modus operandi for the entire time. I did not desire to be a team leader or manager. Or to work in the cash office or to have any specialized job at all.

I came to the company with three years in mind. After that I would be off doing life in another capacity. Ah but life happens. Marriage , family and becoming comfortable in my deepening rut. All the while I kept saying that soon I would off on my adventure but alas here I am 20 plus years and going. I wonder where the time has gone.

Now here I am wondering if I am going to lose a job I did not want to keep but now am afraid to lose. At a time when finally I am making enough money to not be desperately living pay check to paycheck I face the real possibility of not having a job at all.

In my reply I meant to say that the company is NOT directly targeting long term associates

I am an overnight receiver. It is not the position it's the job overall I am concerned with losing. I do believe that while directly targeting long timers the company understands long timers are the ones gravitating to the positions being eliminated / reconfigured. And if the company is not purposefully targeting long timers certainly they are not regretful that long timers are being adversely effected. That being the case I fully expect them to become even more aggressive in developing strategies to get rid of yet more long timers.

They do not just blatantly get rid of or cut the wages of long timers because of the very negative press involved. The way they do it though allows them to be able to appear to be making smart business moves while reaping the benefit of cutting a lot of high wage jobs. When they can no longer get rid of long timers simply by reorganizing they then will start direct targeting either by layoff / cut hours / reduced hourly wages.
