Thread regarding Sam's Club layoffs

It's hard for whoever is doing the interviews to know everything about the positions. You have to understand that most of the people doing interview don't even know what it is required of the positions . They have titles and pay but can't work their positions even if their life depended on it.

Depends on interviewer. I have been a lead in meat dept for around 10 years and I throw that interview pdf in the trash. I walk the person through the department and show them EVERYTHING. I open the bone barrels, "can you handle this smell?". I walk them in the freezer, "can you handle 0 degrees?". I walk them to rotisserie, "This isn't your job, but you will be doing it, A LOT, you ok with that?". I walk them to the rotisserie ovens, "These are 500 degrees and you have to lift 50 pounds in and out a few dozen times a shift, can you handle that?"

I'm 100% transparent. You will know the worst of the worst before I waste my time on you. If you still want in, then you deserve the 17/hr.

What I don't get is why the front end keeps calling the merchandisers/floor partners to bail them out time after time. The front end people do not come out on the floor to assist us. The front end manager clearly does not know how to run her department. And her prom queens front end supervisors are whiners and bossy. Don't even get me started on the so called member service specialists, who run around complaining about their jobs constantly. "I don't want to walk the floor and get credits", "OMG that is not what I got hired for". They hire anyone right off the street, I mean really? This company does not care about those of use who have worked for years, do not call in and do numerous jobs throughout our shifts.

They are working us to death, that's for sure. And I know getting pulled from your normal job to go help somewhere else is annoying, but that's the way all retail companies work and even some factories will move you from one line to another. This is what happens when you don't have a union, not that I like unions. I don't because I think that all they care about is getting money out of your paycheck, but still, they had their uses, like people not having to worry about being pulled from their normal job to work another, or being fired over something while the other guilty party, gets rehired before six months.

Now I'm just speculating here. But in the future, they might phrase job positions like this "Sam's Club Associate", and not have titles like cashier, or merchandiser, cart attendant. For instance "Sam's Club Fresh Associate," would have to be able to work anywhere in fresh. Those people wouldn't know where they were working until they came in for their shift.

And still have specialty areas and the ones that get paid more, like Tire and Battery, Meat Cutter, Club Pick Up, etc.

They are working all of us to death. Now the merchandisers have to give breaks at gas. It was on TBC, but today were told it was on merchandisers. What a joke. Our PM shift is short due to people being on overnights for the remodel of electronics and membership area. We had a hiring event today, some of the people looked liked they just rolled out of bed. One gal's hair didn't even look combed.

Im a Forklift Merchandiser and the only job i havent done in the club is tires and scrubbing toilets. Havent done the toilets yet because im too busy driving and dropping for the whole club so they ask the other merchandisers lol. Unloading trucks, bakery, folding clothes, freezers, front door, carts , entirety of the floor stocking its all just a regular blurry day. I excel at time management and have diety level multitasking abilities. But heaven forbid they see you leave on time and they get attitudes like oh! you didnt get enough work then? we'll have more to do tomarrow.
