When it comes to Sam's Club, most employees never know what kind of work they'll be doing from one minute to the next.
According to a lengthy post from an alleged Sam's Club worker on Reddit, there are several different managers at Sam's Club on duty at one time, and they often all assign different tasks to the same worker in the same time frame, causing a lot of stress and confusion.
"It wasn't enough. I blew it."
In fact, the poster lovingly referred to the resulting chaos as a "garbage fire." Other employees from other store locations vouched for the truth of the post. They say employees are often given assignments in departments they're not used to working in, and often resort to taking sick days just to get a break from the madness.
Multiple threads for Sam's Club employees on Reddit mention that one of the biggest challenges of working at Sam's Club is under-staffing. If you've ever been to a Sam's Club, you know these stores are massive and workers often find themselves handling an entire huge department by themselves.
Many of the stores are already understaffed, so when someone goes on vacation or calls in sick, chaos ensues. Several workers complain that they're doing the work of 10 people and only getting paid for one, thanks to all of the call-ins and general lack of employees.
A new system has been put in place by management to cut down on the amount of sick and personal days workers take but for some this only serves to add more stress, since the ones who truly need a break can't take a mental health day if needed.
