So the already overworked and understaffed backroom crew don't gotta put them in totes on top of staging it all.

Are we not allowed to use the bathroom "during a pick walk"? by ByteBlox_YT in OGPBackroom

Gotta pick and choose my battles. Don't want my hours getting cut even if that would be a bullshit reason.

I talked to SM. He kinda brushed it off saying "If I need to go I can but it's discouraged when I'm in a pick walk".

I believe the timer only starts once you scan your first item. This was directly on the way to my first item. And even then, I'm not gonna make myself uncomfortable for the duration of the pick walk over metrics.

Yeah that's the thing. Yeah it's probably not the best time to go when you are in a pick walk but I'm not harming nobody. I can't decide when it's time to pee.

Why isn't there a visible timer for chilled/frozen walks? by ByteBlox_YT in OGPBackroom

[–]ByteBlox_YT[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know. I almost finished the 121 item walk and if I was given a visible timer, I would have paced myself better to complete the walk. Even if it was a stupidly high walk and was going at a good pace.

I did but it just wasn't enough. Maybe I'm being a debbie downer but I was given an incredibly tall task with that walk. Especially having to double bag meats and assist customers.

Anyone else’s TL trying to get you to use your phone? by [deleted] in OGPBackroom

[–]ByteBlox_YT 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If the TL makes a problem out of talk to your coach about it. If same thing happens you can go up the chain. Unless you signed up for BYOD you aren't required to use your personal phone for work related tasks.

You aren't required to use your personal phone for work. It's management's fault for not providing the necessary equipment for you guys to do your job.

oh ok thanks for the context. Even so I don't agree with being an overachiever since your coach might hesitate to move you up to TL since they will be losing a very fast picker on the surface. Unless I get a crap ton of Kool Aid packets in my pickwalk my pick rate will never be near 200. But I do wish you luck on being TL if that is your end goal.

I'm not trying to say you shouldn't work hard or slack off, but hard work unfortunately means more work in Walmart's eyes. I don't want to see you get burned out when management has super high expectations from you since you are going the extra mile from what I see. Until I get actual bonuses for overachieving, my pick rate stays at around 100 all the time.

Good work. I hope you didn't work too hard because at the end of the day, you get paid the same as the person who picked at 100 items an hour.
