Why it seems so random.

The rumors I've heard are this whole process was finalized by a computer. That's correct, your positions and locations were determined entirely by a piece of software. It was given the survey taken, past evaluation and a ratings spreadsheet filled out by the club manager/market manager. From there the software made the decision if you were displaced from your position, offered a position and in what club the position was offered in.

If true is this what it has finally come to in the corporate business world? Keep the people faceless and let a computer sort it all out. HR is an easy paycheck when you don't need to personally make any decisions.

Comment! It's anonymous!

If I am not mistaken Costco is not Sam's Clubs biggest competition it's another company.

What did you expect from a company like sams club .. there is a reason why we will always be a second rate company to our main competitor Costco. They are managed better , have built a better brand , have a higher membership renewals and of course pay a lot better.

Why do you think they double and triple our sales. We put one person in hms . They put 10. We put one at the exit door - they put 2 .. the list keeps going ..

Have they not learned by watching Red Prairie in action??? It could never get a single persons schedule right ever, and they allowed it to distroy people's careers? Way to go HO! You keep showing how idiotic you really are!

It's dehumanizing, and that's the sad part - I think this happens when companies become too big.

Don't get me wrong please, there is a ton of good things that come with size - companies can do wonderful things for our customers. But for us, workers, this is hard.

So sad:
