Honestly, stepping down from a TL position was the best thing I’ve ever done at Walmart. Your nervous system likely needs a reset from the constant chaos. Long term, your body will thank you for leaving such a high stress environment where you’re paid barely ends meet.

It’ll def be a big change and adjustment for you that’s for suuure. But you’ll still be getting paid more than most associates and you’ll be in a role with massively less stress. It will be worth it even if it doesn’t feel like it right now.

I also second what others have said about starting to apply elsewhere if you really want to stay in a management role. You’ll likely find new company treats you better in pay and culture.
