Thread regarding Sam's Club layoffs

Guessing time...

If you were going to guess what's happening this week, what would you say is going to go down? Interested in the theories out there, since we are mere hours away from hearing what it is. Go ahead, guess away...

Perhaps given how last year turned out, some market managers let their clubs know that they were fine to stop any rumors. I find it unlikely there will be widespread closures this year anyhow

I wasn't joking. All of the managers that were there pulled all the associates to gather at the cafe and told us our club wasn't closing, but in the same breathe how did they even figure this?? Unless someone started a rumor and they wanted to squash it. Any thoughts?

The market manager had a 1 on 1 with the CM last year when we were told the club was closing. None of the other CMs were told so that the word didnt spread before the official announcement. The literal cadence was MM meeting on Tuesday, MM has call with CM Wednesday night, CM goes to club to print off the necessary paperwork, All Managers are told to be at a meeting early morning, Thursday before the club opens, CM puts up signs that say we will be closed for the day. It's a c-ap process but we knew what profits were, what sales were and our membership was up for the first time in several years. The writing was on the wall.

The market managers were in my club today. They probably returned from their meeting in Dallas.

By the way, my club is located in New Hampshire.

OYI will replace audits anyhow, MAPM already told us that eventually OYI will be the one stop shop for all things inventory. Audits will go away once adoption rate and completion rate of OYI improve. Tech is being embraced and because of it we need less managers to operate.

I also heard from a CM that manager pay will be going up but they will be held to a much higher standard. A couple bad market visits and you could be gone.
