Damn...this economy sucks. Its making me crazy. I work for Sams Club and being as its a part of Walmart and Walmart is almost recession proof, you wouldnt think Id be worried about my job going away. But even where I am there is a hiring freeze. They are cutting down hours to absolute minimum. Sales are not where they should be either. But the result of that is that the employees that are still there are being spread like that last teaspoon of peanut butter over a very large piece of bread and its making a lot of people unhappy and anxious and panicky. Its a 4 acre warehouse being run by about 70 people if that. Its insane. I do the clothing department, and if you ever saw a Sams clothing department its like a quarter of an acre of tables and racks and shelves of clothes and I have to keep the entire area neat, folded and "open ready" by myself....and thats during regular business hours when people are right up behind me messing up what I just did for 5-7 hours a day. Used to be two of us there. The other gal is out on maternity leave and they didnt hire anybody just gave me 8 more hours a week which certainly doesnt make up for the 25 hours a week she was there. But I feel from the whole place like people are scared...scared that this particular club wont survive.
I sure hope its temporary.
What is it like where you guys work?
