Anyone heard anything about terminations of market managers, fresh market managers, and regional fresh managers recently?

Just because sales are up doesn’t necessarily mean that profits are up. Profit is what you pay everything with. From utilities to yes wages. The physical stores now require less customer service With improvements with technology it’s only a matter of time before we can ask a robot where something is. Oh wait there is an app for that.
Stock the shelves, sign it appropriately, stock moving things around.... this cuts a majority of questions.
Sams club is the only one thinning the herd. If you think otherwise, suggest you look at another website to gain adequate info.
As far as minimum wage increasing, prices on items will only increase over time to compensate for manufacturing and distribution of goods sold. So really that’s a mute point.
Think about when you get an estimate on something to fix in your home or your auto. The majority of cost is wrapped up into labor costs. Typically the items being serviced is minimal dollars but the service or labor costs are high. Do you like to pay labor costs? If you had to write the checks for the business where would your eye go continually? There are some things you can’t cut. But there are many things you can get back in line to get your checkbook in order.
And yes at the end of the day it’s just business. It’s not personal. No one has your name and wants to displace you. It’s just business.
@1zgy that's baloney! This company can afford to pay it's associates. It would even make business better because there would be more help, and more people to help members. They are closing up shot is all. Doing it this way helps their stock look better. They will continue on this path until Sam's is different than what you have ever seen.
Just more Fake News. They are never accountable for anything! They just sh-- all over the Clubs
The higher minimum wage goes the more layoffs because companies can’t afford to pay more than few employees at a time!! It also decreases hours for employees!! This makes less employees work at once which makes you do double the work normally done during a shift!!
Going on in our mkt now.
Poor performing markets and clubs = termination. Period end of store. It’s not a conspiracy
Performance related. Period.
We heard something about it, but not much happened. Maybe the little bit that did is another test that will hit everyone else later.
That happened to our Market all ready
