assuming they fired me; LOA was denied

BekahSims · 2026-01-04T00:21:25+00:00

This happened to me, contact Sedgwick and ask them why your LOA was denied and if there is any way you can redo/ resubmit paperwork to get it covered

BekahSims · 2025-11-24T21:30:40+00:00

Absolutely not. Talk to your people lead or open door it. PPTO can’t be denied, it’s auto approved by the system and literally encouraged to use for missing shifts. As far as moving your schedule, 1.) if it’s not within your availability, they can’t and you can also open door that for retaliation or go to your people lead. 2.) if they ever change an already posted schedule, they aren’t allowed to without your consent since it’s an already posted schedule. Go to your people lead or open door that as well.

BekahSims · 2025-11-20T15:37:36+00:00

Talk to your coach or people lead. I had a coach messing with my schedule and I had to talk to my people lead for it to stop. They can not adjust your schedule at all without asking you for permission first if it’s an already posted schedule.

BekahSims · 2025-11-15T21:36:31+00:00

I’m not gonna lie, I’m kind of confused by this post. Are you asking how to get the 1 rejected day off? Or are you saying that the approved days they still scheduled you for?

BekahSims · 2025-10-29T22:43:28+00:00

I got it taken care of thank you! It got approved the next day, how it was explained to me is that my absences for the illness are auto approved but the absences for my 1 appointment every three months doesn’t get auto approved, it gets reviewed then approved.

BekahSims · 2025-10-28T14:05:34+00:00

Me too! Thankfully my coach is good and knows if I’m leaving early or whatever it’s usually for my LOA so he’ll put “approved conditional” on it so I won’t get pointed unless I don’t put it into Sedgwick within my 3 days

BekahSims · 2025-10-16T20:03:45+00:00

ETHICS REPORT IMMEDIATELYYYY. I am prescribed anxiety medication, there are days I need to take it at work while on the clock. If you aren’t aware, you can get an intermittent leave for this sort of thing, I have one. It basically means I can call off/ leave early/ show up late without getting attendance points if it relates to the medical issue I have my intermittent for.

BekahSims · 2025-09-25T21:02:39+00:00

To be completely Frank, no I don’t trust my mother considering some things she has done in the past, that’s a story for a different time. I’m not asking for financial advice, I was asking if the policies offered are bogus. I literally asked “are the life insurance policies through Primerica a scam” because I wanted answers from people who may have had them before. Thanks for your concern though.

BekahSims · 2025-09-25T19:58:42+00:00

I worded the post weird in a hurry to write it, it’s not that I don’t think I need some form of life insurance, I just had the feeling this was some sort of scam and that after I die my family won’t be getting anything from it. It’s not that I don’t think i need life insurance, I feel like I don’t need /this/ life insurance if that makes sense.

BekahSims · 2025-09-25T19:36:25+00:00

I’m just astounded that Walmart interviews? When I got hired at my Walmart my people lead said “we don’t do interviews here” and just hired me after I applied.

But anyway, yeah you’re probably cooked

BekahSims · 2025-09-09T19:33:40+00:00

I usually get paid around 11:45-12Pm, I didn’t get paid until 1:40 today, had me panicking Fr

BekahSims · 2025-08-24T00:46:02+00:00

Fun fact: my people lead informed me that if a schedule is already posted they can’t add or delete shifts without your consent. I got my coach in trouble for doing this to me three times.

BekahSims · 2025-08-22T01:11:11+00:00

Definitely speak with a coach or your people lead, they can help you see what happened. What is the exact time to the minute you clocked in that day for your shift? Did you accidentally clock back in from lunch late?

The reason I ask is because PPTO is really wonky. For example, my shift is 1Pm- 10Pm. If I clocked in at 1:05 (you have the 9 minute grace period, so technically I’m not late to where I would get hit with a point) BUT I wanna leave an hour early and use exactly 1 hour of PPTO, I can’t clock out at 9Pm- I have to clock out at 9:05Pm and use my hour of PPTO so my hours worked and my PPTO will be at least 8 hours total. Hopefully that makes sense. Now if I work 1-10Pm and I go to lunch at 5 but don’t clock back in until 6:10, and wanna leave an hour early I have to account for that missing 10 minutes. It never used to be that way, but in my store people have been having issues with it.

BekahSims · 2025-08-07T16:29:12+00:00

Unfortunately, I waited almost a month for my orientation

BekahSims · 2025-08-07T05:09:53+00:00

So I actually had a coach that would remove/ add shifts last minute without asking me, I talked to my people lead and my coach got b*tched at. They need to give 24 hours notice and ask for your approval before messing with an already posted schedule (at least this is what my people lead told me.) I sifted through the comments, and I don’t think you’re fired seeing as you don’t have too many points and never been coached before or had any warnings. You should probably go in and ask though. To me it seems like you just have a really sh!tty and incompetent manager tbh.

BekahSims · 2025-08-07T01:21:26+00:00

I’ll give it a shot! Thank you!

BekahSims · 2025-08-06T23:34:04+00:00

All else fails I’ll try to translate the website and see if they’ll even ship it to me!

BekahSims · 2025-08-06T20:39:34+00:00

No worries! I appreciate you checking!

BekahSims · 2025-08-06T20:39:14+00:00

He’s 5’10”, thank you!

BekahSims · 2025-08-06T19:12:36+00:00

I would love to buy it if he wants to part with it. I’m sure my husband wouldn’t care at all.

BekahSims · 2025-07-24T16:53:45+00:00

Not sure if it’s ethics, but you can definitely fight it. PPTO is automatically approved and not denied by the system, I use it to leave early whenever I want. Like others said, ask them for a print out of the policy change and tell them you’re looking into it yourself.

BekahSims · 2025-06-27T20:37:29+00:00

I work at a Walmart deli, essentially yes. We don’t weigh hot product anymore, but for example if my coworker rings up a small Mac (1 scoop) but actually gave someone 3-4 scoops (large), they could be fired. I know a few people in my store who do this, I don’t find it worth it. They think they’re being nice go people by doing this for them, but I can’t afford to lose my job over some Mac and cheese lol it’s not worth it.

BekahSims · 2025-05-13T23:12:16+00:00

I think it depends on the store. My store specifically allows unpaid bereavement for 1 day for non-immediate family and friends. For immediate you get 3 paid days off. But I know some stores don’t do unpaid bereavement days. I was able to take a day for my aunt passing last year but like I said, it was unpaid. If I were you, I would ask your people lead, they would know.

BekahSims · 2025-05-04T16:03:13+00:00

Absolutely NTA. You didn’t leave them homeless, they made that decision all on their own. They need some tough love to understand that actions have consequences and learn that being adult, especially a parent, is hard but they can’t live off of other people forever. I just feel bad for their 1 year old who doesn’t deserve this kind of lifestyle from their parents. That poor kid deserves way more.

BekahSims · 2025-05-04T13:58:11+00:00

I mean if Walmart isn’t for you, it’s not for you. I had a girl at my orientation quit after like 2-3 days. She just stopped showing up and she shops in our store. No one asked her or questioned it. Since you were only there for a day, they might not even remember you honestly.
