My Market manager is in Bentonville this week next Tuesday all the club managers in my market will be having a in person meeting with the market manager. No idea what it is about
Wages
Are there pay raises in the works, it seem sams has upgraded everything but wages, just asking for a friend of mine
Inventories canceled due to restructure?
Anyone else's inventory get canceled due to restructure?
Layoffs
Anyone think we will have layoffs like amazon?
The Ides of January
Companies are cutting costs. Amazon is cutting people. Bed Bath & Beyond talking about shutting their doors. Fourth quarter sales weren't where they wanted them to be. Be glad you don't work at the HO or in middle management. The cuts are... — read more
Untouchable manager
We have a manager that gets away with everything. Brings her kid to work, has dated associates, openly retaliates, etc. And nothing happens to her. You cant go to store manager cause he will just tell her and it gets worse for you. Cant go to market... — read more
Bonus Time
All that work you've done with a skeleton crew, all the blood, sweat and tears. The call offs, the lot guys not showing up, you've givin it all you've got. Your clubs made 2 million easy in the last 10 days. You've cooked your last Ham on... — read more
Mentally prepared for January inventory?
It seems to me that I can never be sufficiently prepared for it.
Christmas bonus
I envy people who get Christmas bonuses. A huge company like this should do better for its associates. Merry Christmas
This place….
I’m so disappointed in my workplace. I ABSOLUTELY could run it better, I could basically just keep doing what I’m already doing. But why? Feels like this place used to be great, but the standards are pretty low. From the TOP, DOWN. What a... — read more
LOA to work other job
Is it ok to take a medical leave of absence from Sam’s Club but continue to work my other job? Sam’s should be ok without me since everyone else usually does all my work, but my other job is a smaller competitor and I only work at Sam’s to get the... — read more
Priorities
What Fresh departments should we be sending the most help to for the holidays?
Bonus
So apparently there is bonuses for associates next year 🤔. And if you exceed expectations you can get over the maximum amount 🤯, but you have to be a salaried manager or work in home office 🙃. How do you over exceed expectations when you just walk... — read more
Bluetooth headphones
Our store had this huge meeting about having headphones in while on forklift and when club is open. Only lasted about a month, why are people so disrespectful and go right back to using them, even managers🤬🤬😍
Christmas
I'm going to campaign really hard next year for the clubs to be open on Christmas. Think of all the sales, not to mention plus and credits we are leaving on the table by not being open. The clubs have to compete in a world with the internet that... — read more
Team leader deciding to step down
I am contemplating stepping down from my position as a fresh team lead at the beginning of the year. My concern is pay. How much of a percentage will I have to lose. I have been with the company going on 15 years. And am concerned if I need to find a... — read more
New associates work harder
I’ve got to say, I’ve noticed within my club that the newer associates work harder than the associates who have been there for a few years or many years. We got a new associate in our deli section and they are doing awesome. They have only been with... — read more
Grinch
So they had to remove all the Christmas decorations except the Tree? Employees are there 40hours a week and consider this part time home.....what is wrong with this company?
Slow the forklifts down?!? What a brilliant fu----g idea!!!
Yeah, I know, you don't have to tell me: This is a waste of time, posting tirades about the stupid sh-t Bentonville does will achieve nothing. I fu----g know. Too bad, though, because I need to vent, so... I heard that this was going to happen a... — read more
Our Generous Company
So why aren’t we getting our 10% off fresh items for the holiday?. I have bought multiple items on multiple occasions and nothing. I’ve used scan and go and even the register and nothing. I have brought this to the attention or multiple managers in... — read more
ASSOCIATE DISCOUNT
No one in our club is getting associate discount except management, is this happening anywhere else? I know how much Sam's Club cares for us, with our 2% raise and all the other great perks we get.
You worry a lot about things you cannot change
I too am frustrated with the way this company is managed. However, what can we change? Is there a fertile ground for our complaints? Not really. It is not worth worrying too much about things that are not possible to control. What can be changed... — read more
CPU shifts
Was wondering about everyone's cpu shifts. We were just told the closing cpu shift is suppose to be 12:30p-9p after it being 11:30a-8p since we started block scheduling. Manager said he was told that it has been wrong all this time. Moring is... — read more
Thank You
In case you don’t hear it enough or at all, thank you to all of you that show up to work on time, every shift, put up with all the cr-p from the public, add on all the extra work for those who call off regularly and milk the system!! Keep pushing... — read more
Sick Time Pay out
How do we get paid out for the sick time we could never use? I heard there’s a number we can call and someone else said just ask a manager to key it out for you? Anyone??
Backroom Scheduling for mornings
Backroom Associates!! Are there 2 of you on weekend mornings or just one?? How about during the week? Three or just two? I feel like our club is not giving us enough help so just checking to see how other clubs are scheduling. I am not including the... — read more
pay stub
Why is it taking so long now to view paystub online? I use to be able to view it at 6:00 AM now I'm lucky to see it by noon! Just another issue with a multi billion dollar corporation!
Who do I contact?
In my club w associates were basically competing for a lead position and the one that got it was a kid thats 18 just barely started and his dad use to be a corporate for sams club now walmart corporate, I smell favoritism.
Curbside associates
How bout they give us gloves with our jackets to dispense orders? Might be an idea ! Bright light could come on!
Horrible repetitive Xmas song
Anybody else ready to quit life after hearing that awful Kirby song 93654 times a day? Who is Kirby, and is this where our Sam’s share is going, how much does this company invest in this rubbish? The song is absolute trash, I had to look up the... — read more
No Turkey's
This year we are getting a Hillshire smoked ham. Yuk....
Schedule
Just a quick survey: how many fresh leads are getting their company approved weekends off or even halfway working their blocks for that matter?
Why is this acceptable?
Racism and age discrimination in our metro "D" troit market. Poor associates work years for the company just to get targeted by the management team, then written up for lame a-s reasons, fired, then on top of it the management team keys them... — read more
Jewelry
Corporate made a huge mistake when they did away with the dedicated jewelry associate. Our jewelry dept. is a hot mess. So many mistakes being made on a daily basis and then there is the misinformation given to the members. Nobody is trained... — read more
what happen to high fives, associates of month and year awards?
Did Sam's club do away with those? What about Sam's share, still getting that?
Enough is enough
Long term associate here. The club I work at is behind on trucks, managers have left or been fired, skeleton crew, steel is over capacity, several call offs everyday , but yet we are expected to have a perfect looking club. What is going on is... — read more
Lifetime membership
How do I get my lifetime membership now that I am gone? 30 years on the job. Can't do it at Sam's .com , can't log on Walmart associate site and my club says it has to be done by me online...
