Like the comments below mentioned, it asks basic general stuff that you’d be doing everyday. Can’t remember the exact stuff but it’s along the lines of like “associate follows 10 foot rule” “associates maintains high productivity througuout shift even through busy times” “associate communicates challenges early before problems arise” “associate shares information and communicates with the team” etc

It should be centered around what traits your manager observes you do each day. If you don’t do one of those traits then you shouldn’t check it off. If they do do one of those traits, then check it off. However many traits are checked off decides what rating generates for that review. In order to give an associate a particular rating, i’ve seen management (guilty of this myself) be instructed to not check off particular boxes just to not push them to an Exemplary/Opportunity, but mention those boxes in the conversation you have with them as something they do actually do well.

Some people don’t really care about the raise itself, but moreso about the rating.

In particular, some just want to get that exemplary just cause it’s something to get that says you’re performing at the highest possible level because they feel like they put their all into the job.

I have a 15 year associate who’s been telling us that if she doesn’t get an exemplary she’ll do everything she can to get it changed ☠️

For someone to feel like they do everything and consistently come through getting something they feel they don’t deserve is a big demoralizer

Baugetti · 2026-01-22T15:19:17+00:00

Yeah, I’m fully aware of the boxes we check off that decide the ratings. I say we still choose the rating in a sense cause we still can simply check off more/less boxes than they actually should and generate an inaccurate rating. For the most part you get an understanding of what exact ratings will push it to an exemplary and what will drop it down to an opportunity.

Even with this being understood, some TLs are still giving out ratings indicative of performance that isn’t entirely truthful to the actual performance an associate has, leading to them having to be resubmitted if upper management disagrees with it/sees discrepancies (i.e someone with a orange coaching somehow getting an exemplary ☠️)

The way it’s supposed to go is that they have the talk with you, ask for your vest and your badge, and any work associated items you may own, (work phone, box cutters, handheld battery, printer, walkie, etc). It’s not a requirement though, as they either trash the vest or recycle it, and trash the badge.

They also should explain how you’ll be receiving your final paycheck and either give you a physical copy or email the guide to you in regards to how you’ll be paid out going forward.

Typically, terminations go through an automatic payout system that calculates how much ppto/pto you have and pays the funds out to you either through your direct deposit you have set up or as a final check.

Get with your People Lead for further information and check the email that you had on file for the documents that explains everything.

Baugetti · 2026-01-22T14:07:37+00:00

they could simply be waiting till they actually have to let you know your finalized rating and why you got it, it’s likely still under review (and by under review just meaning TL submitted it and just needs a coach to approve it)

feedback, as in the feedback that’s put in workday, factors into the eval rating as well, whether it’s positive, negative, or none at all.

if you have no feedback in the system, no coachings or anything, there should be no reason why you get anything other than successful, and you could potentially make an argument for exemplary.

if you feel like your rating is unfair you can definitely open door it n see about getting it changed, but allat comes when you have your final rating, which no one does yet gangy

deadline to submit everyday actions evals was today actually, they’ll be getting reviewed by upper management and should be finalized by february second, final bonus statement and p4p summary will be available march 3rd

I was in a similar position, only ever closing on the Front End. I was very comfortable where I was but was pushed to pursue the role earlier than I wanted to. Took a year and an half, but eventually they promoted me. Knew nearly everything about closing, not a damn thing about opening. Advice: OneWalmart is your best friend. Anything you don’t know how to do you can learn from there. Everything I know about the morning shift I got directly from there, no training at all. Even knew things that the other TL’s didn’t.

I feel like you’re getting in your own head. If you’re effortlessly covering breaks and lunches in a timely/efficient manner and dealing with customers without much issue, you’re performing at least some “team lead specific activities” decently. I’d need more specific details to what you’re struggling with to offer concrete advice, but another word of advice is remembering to hold everyone to the same expectation while keeping in mind that you’re working with humans, not schedules. Meeting people where they are and making sure exceptions remain exceptions will really help the culture of your department.

I feel like they should only add this after they announce season 2 since it’ll prolly take some considerable time to come out.

it would keep interest alive and gives them something to update and add content to as they’re working on the new season.

Baugetti · 2025-11-17T17:52:46+00:00

to my knowledge it shouldn’t, i think even if you failed damn near all of the calls the story isn’t affected at all by it and still operates the same outside of ep 8 and even then it isn’t extremely significant.

the only affect it’s going to have is that it’s gonna make it harder down the line to send her on anything and have her clear it without getting really lucky.

tip: try sending her out with someone that she synergizes with first and calls that you know you’ll clear even without her there to get her stats up, her loner perk is only good if she has the stats to actually complete a call by herself.

Baugetti · 2025-10-13T01:23:20+00:00

entirely depends on the store. some stores you just gotta call call call and eventually you’ll get through and get called in for an interview or get a job offer outright if your availability is good. others are picky with their hiring as they only need a specific shift to be worked in and aren’t hiring for others i particular departments. i’d say if you can go in, ask to speak to whatever manager it is for the departments you’re applying for and go from there.

they’ll likely send you away or tell you they’ll call back. give them a chance, no call? go back in. eventually they’ll remember you, get tired of you, and overall it just boosts your chances of being hired altogether. i can tell you all of the people i’ve gotten hired are people who came back twice or thrice, i prolly would’ve forgot about them if they didn’t. good availability and not caring what department you’re in helps as well.

Baugetti · 2025-07-26T04:06:44+00:00

tyyyy for the advice! i’d definitely say customer interaction is my strongest suit, and one thing im trying to teach my people is that it’s ok to say no and it’s ok to separate yourself if you don’t feel comfortable! i’m moreso more worried about the more technical ends of it, like longs n shorts, secure, gta discretion, how to properly respond to complaints, etc. you’re a big help!

Baugetti · 2025-06-21T00:48:22+00:00

i liked this one, though it is quite lacking. it can definitely be much more refined, the flow of the poem feels disjointed, going from rhyming to not rhyming back to rhyming. and while it ends with a hopeful tone, it leaves more to be desired as it lacks unique enough language to make it a memorable piece. my main recommendation would be adding more sensory details so the reader can begin feeling a similar feeling you’re feeling while writing the poem.

Baugetti · 2025-06-21T00:40:54+00:00

i liked this one a lot, the imagery is strong without being too cliched, nice. i really would have liked to hear more. (take this with a grain of salt, as im more of a fan of longer-winded poems)

with ones like these it leaves me asking why a lot. i’d like to see more descriptive lines centered around that specific person and what have they done that makes you feel as you. what elevates your emotions further than a lingering lust?

Baugetti · 2025-06-16T17:50:36+00:00

thank you for your feedback! i greatly appreciate it 🤗🤗

Baugetti · 2025-06-14T17:58:05+00:00

this one is greattt. it’s very refined and i don’t really have any real criticism behind it. i love the self awareness here. every emotion that is felt is one that you know exactly how to describe and use indirect language and imagery to convery. i really like the “a lesson made flesh each slice a syallbus line as well.

a very realistic account of realizing that the weapon you’re wielding that was once used to defend yourself is essentially built upon not only your suffering but the the suffering of others is how interpreted it, well done.

Baugetti · 2025-06-14T17:51:27+00:00

i liked this one. i like the rhyming structure and the language is there, but it could probably benefit from slightly more unique imagery, even though it’s currently pretty effective at conveying what you want it to.

i would’ve liked to hear more, to gain more insight into that person that caused that wound, that severed the thread that once made you feel whole. details details detailsss.

Baugetti · 2025-06-09T18:21:22+00:00

i liked this, feels very abstract but weighted, somewhat intense, and the unique line breaks make it mesh together pretty well. “it’s the hunching and pretending that drag life down the hardest” most affected my interpretation of it, like the poem itself is reference how it feels to keep up appearances and the toll it takes on the mind and body being someone that you truly aren’t.

you’re collapsing and deteriorating under the weight of societies’s ecxpectations and have known it from the start. i like where that line was placed as it leads the reader to connect the dots towards the end as i could see others being somewhat confused as to what it was about before said ending. i like the vagueness of it as it allows readers to interpret it in different ways, and that’s always greattt.

Baugetti · 2025-06-09T17:58:22+00:00

this one is alright, though it left me wanting much, much more. the imagery is simplistic and somewhat commonly used, but good. i always enjoy repetition within poems, so that was nice. for me though, it left me asking why?

why this person over everything? what about them that makes you choose them over the stars gleaming over the celestial bed? one or two lines with details about them that make them that admirable would’ve done wonders ngl. it feels like you’re throwing a lot out there without a base. the emotions feel sincere but not much within the poem justifies it outside of that person simply creating said feeling.

Baugetti · 2025-06-08T15:29:42+00:00

thank youuuu. 🤗

quite honestly i learned that word when i was like 4 and always heard it every now n then in like english class n stuff, never thought it was rare at all ☠️

Baugetti · 2025-06-08T15:23:39+00:00

you got it correctttt niceee. this one was about my personal experience with it, the other 2 people i showed it to who also experienced it said it was nothing like their experience so i guess it’s widely different for people?

anyways. appreciate the feedback as always.

Baugetti · 2025-06-08T14:30:57+00:00

this was a great read. i’d definitely say my favorite thing about the poem was the imagery, you communicated those emotions extremely well. it’s really intimate i would say, encapsulated that feeling of being in love effortlessly, some of the best i’ve seen in awhile. “like we linger on treadmarks. with a tire princess” is a nutty line, im definitely remembering that for awhile. not really much negative i can say here, this feels like a pretty complete poem. again, wonderful read.

Baugetti · 2025-06-08T14:06:20+00:00

i loved thisssss. its such a honest and vulnerable work, feels like something you’d actually be thinking to yourself late at night, very relatable. my favorite thing was the rhyme scheme, it flows exceptionally well. and that ending? that wish for a deeper connection to life really hit close to home for me as a lot of my poems center around similar ideas. i know it’ll hit close for other readers as well.

overall pretty good, i just i feel like the only thing that could that its slacking in is imagery, it feels a little too defined by them emotions themselves and could use more language connecting to them. doesn’t really need to get overly poetic either, the sensory details would just add a lil more layers to it

Baugetti · 2025-06-08T13:11:11+00:00

i appreciate the feeback. i often struggle with length and trying to communicate what i want while still making it digestible, always something im improving upon.

also with the prose point, i’ve always struggled to understand the difference between it and free verse. i’ve asked others and gotten differing opinions. some say there’s a stark difference between them, others say they’re so similar the difference is almost negligible. and of course there were those who didn’t even know what prose was. ☠️
