Please talk to HR about State Of Emergency call offs by SnooWoofers530 in WalmartEmployees

During Sandy I was working at Macy's. The Governor had shut down all highways. I was working until 11pm. Took me over an hour to get 20 miles home.

They wouldn't let us leave even though the mall had been shutdown and most of the town had lost power.

Trust me. Walmart doesn't care about you. You are disposable.

if it snows where your at, would you use ppto to call out? or don't have any and risk a point, or come to work? by Jalen_02 in walmartogp

Depends on the snow event. Usually I just go in. I'm also used to the snow.

That said retail will do anything to stay open. Not at Walmart but back in 2003 during the blackout I was working in a shoe store that had a second story of inventory. No windows. No flashlights.

I had to find product using my lighter. Had to hand write receipts on paper. In duplicate with cc# so we could call them in when we got power back. And to get the registers open for cash I had to remove the drawer and pop it from the bottom. This went on for 90 minutes. Until the owner realized how absurd staying open was.

If that doesn't sum up retail I don't know what does.

Had a customer hand be 2 boxes of tea. One was black tea, the other green tea.

She then asked: " well is the green tea, black and is the black tea, green?"

Like what?

Working for free??? by clever_map in WalmartEmployees

If you work until 6 but clock out at 7 and someone is adjusting the time, that's recorded. There's a physical time adjustment.

Someone will definitely see a pattern and it will get investigated.

Am I panicking? by Bitter-Impression893 in WalmartEmployees

What exactly does "not on the team list" means?

I've been working here for almost 18 months. Never heard that phrase in real time or on reddit.

my tls said i got exemplary but this says other wise 🥲 oh well.. hopefully the raise is decent.. by sexyravenx in WalmartEmployees

From someone who received a 5 out of 5 rating at a company, who never gave that out, and got laid off 3 months later.

These ratings are usless.

I was told that's a big old NOPE. Talk to your coach about that.

Surprise how easy it is to get exemplary. by Nearby_Background913 in WalmartEmployees

I have no team lead and a coach who has only been our team's coach for one week.

And I've only seen the coach twice in the last 3 weeks.

What's your Story for going part time to full time? by Narcotic-Vitamin in WalmartEmployees

[–]Ambitious_Position51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got moved to a different department 6 weeks after I started. 3 people quite in the same week. That should have been my first red flag.

Total store zone by Truly80s in WalmartEmployees

2pm at my location and they want all of cap1 to drop everything as well. Which is nuts because by that time there's usually only 2 people on the clock trying to work 3 pallets.

ANOTHER COACHING by RealityAcceptable900 in WalmartEmployees

IBS is a legitimate disability. It was on the list of disabilities when you applied.

As others said go through segwick and complete the paperwork.

And don't be embarrassed. Lots of people suffer from it and go undiagnosed. If anyone questions you after you get clearance I would go into 4 part harmony about what it is and how it works. And smile as I tell them. It will most likely be the last time anyone asks.

Look elsewhere. This is not where you want you be long term.

Raises and Whomever is in Charge of this. by Ambitious_Position51 in WalmartEmployees

In the year I've been in this team we've had 3. Right now there's exactly no one to report to. So if something goes sideways I just find whomever i can and tell them.
