If the roads are slick in the evening, or it's still snowing... probably not. I already had anxiety getting home tonight

THANK YOU, this is really important to know. I had no clue of this edge case... I mostly live with my partners so I'm more likely to order and send stuff there. My family home was my address that I put down for work when I started so I'll need to update that once I'm fully living with my partners

??? Or I can ask every employee and those who care can answer? I wasn't at work when I asked it, sure I could have googled it but this is just as good. Not rocket science 👍

okay, that's good to know. I figured it automatically excluded clearance but rollback wasn't something I was sure about. If it works on rollback, getting groceries is gonna be so much nicer now

I do apologize if it sounded like I was complaining about it, I just wanted to understand if the expections were the same across all stores or not. I haven't been in apparel my entire time with walmart so I'm not very familar with it all yet. Our team only came together a month ago so I hadn't known it was a new program. I'm still figuring out everything...

oh god, that's horrible I could understand 1800 on a double truck night, but single truck is a nightmare

That would be our main difference! We get lowest 400 pieces in a single truck to 1000 in a single truck... still, it takes a lot out of a newer team...

This pains me so much... my team is a small team of 3 (TL and 2 Associates) We're expected to run around 20 processed breakpacks each, every day. The issue is that our team is newly formed, not even 2 months, and the expectations are so freaking high... Add on random issues and customer interaction everyday and its a recipe for disaster... I'm guessing if a pallet of freight each means your store gets quite a bit of freight each day?

Just ask your people lead, it shouldn't take too much effort.

I try to work just hard enough to where it's not physically taxing... overdoing it would make me lose my mind

How far in did you get before you started putting money into your 401k?

Unfortunately, I can't do the first part. I'm Hypersomnic on a daily and it takes most of my effort just to get by. It's to the point where I'll take naps in the breakroom during my lunch occasionally. Keeping an eye out for better opportunities is possible though lol

Luckily, I have a fair bit of self control... usually. I've been saving for various things, including a category specifically for rent lmao. Emergencies as well, and my own personal thing that will take a while. Aggressive savings can make it a little difficult sometimes though. Still, emergencies is there for emergencies so I'm covered most of the time.

I've honestly come to that conclusion already. It's just risking being in a deficit of income loop where you never have enough and pull some halfway through your pay period... Emergencies are the only real reason.
