I am sitting in my cubicle at HO, The plane will be in Texas this afternoon, their visits have been bad in all states, here is the inside scoop on what to prepair for. Market Managers will be let go so they can make room for new talent from other retailers, PTC will be totaly eliminated by February, GMs are being switched around and let go from several clubs just like the assistants in February 2018, if the company thinks your failing they will move you to a more challenging club to free up the cash. More self money machines for cafe, receiving kiosk so drivers can drop off the truck anytime, cigarrettes will be eliminated in most clubs. Meat cutters will be down sized and packed meat will arive. Tires center with a 20% decrease will be eliminated. If anyone else hears anything please leave a comment. Thanks

This is not fake news. We are all being outsourced eventually.
Higher volume clubs like mine will have 2 full time back room associates and one part time backroom associate. Lower volume clubs will have just 2 full time backroom associates
There will be no receiving clerk. There will only be 2 backroom associates.
What about receiving clerks?????
Where is Mkt 22?
Northeast is flying out tomorrow to visit the "New talent" Club manager. Joseph Sanders and Cedric Clark.
It wasn't just Dallas, the meetings are all over.
What about Membership Dept? It seems as thought we are still lingering on.
Bring it! Front row seat to the end of Sam's!
So, whats going on in Dallas
I hope they move our GM
I beleive this to be true ..... we were told to return all our tires last month ..... had no clue as to why
Market Manager in 22 was let go just last week
More to come .
I believe this is true. But I want to know a little more from the OP. Is it random MM that are not doing well? Or is it a certain one like MAPM's or what?
First it’s not Fake News. It like most posts ahead of actions is laced with some license
( rumor ) we all know most of them bear fruit.. ( end up being true). Market Managers are beginning to be let go because they are not effective and the structure is failing. So get ready for a sea change.. it will pick up momentum as we go into the Holidays and be executed by Y/E. Visits and results are poor. Visits have been very tough esp in certain Markets Geographic areas. People are being held accountable. They are going to be the victims of the same process they unleashed on the Clubs in Jan. Not hard to believe. Something is clearly underway. We will see over time.The Dallas situation is a precursor.
While the Original posting might be fake new. There REALLY was a spontaneous off site mandatory Club Manager meeting in Dallas market today. That is for certain
What will happen with optical and their MM?
does anyone know when the t-b-cco cage will be eliminated
when will the c-gare--es department be eliminated
receiving kiosk?....is this for drivers to drop off dry DC loads whenever they want??..or is this going to be for paper and water too??
Fake news
Do you know anything about jewelry ?
Very interesting!! If anyone gets anymore updates, please update us! @mbo thank you for your info as well!
There was a mandatory meeting with no advanced notice for Club managers in the Dallas market.. the MM called them all in, drop what they are doing and come.. interesting
