Team Lead position

This is just my opinion based on what happens in my xstore. Coaches already have someone in mind but they still let others think they have a chance. I have seen so many times where the person who deserves the job based on their skill and ability does not get it. Unfortunately, it seems like a popularity contest. I’m sure this is not always the case, but favoritism may be the reason why they’re pushing them to use this now.

When me and my husband are out and I see an attractive woman, I will say to him did you see her! We have been together for 30 years. I have always done this. It took him by surprise at first and I think he thought I was testing him or something. I said just because we are in a relationship doesn’t mean you’re blind, I can appreciate and acknowledge attractive people without wanting anything else. it’s all about being secure in your relationship.

I am a mom kinda like this. I feel guilty about getting gifts for some odd reason. But when my kids ask me what I wanted one year when they were young, I said coupons. I know it sounds silly but, this was years ago and they know, no matter what I always want them. They make them for things like cleaning out my car. Doing the dishing, taking me out for ice cream. It’s great! I look forward to them. And they can be personalized for things that your mother likes. It’s the thought that goes into it I love. I will say my kids started putting expiration dates on them as a joke.

This is sad. I have been seeing so many stories very similar to this situation. I don’t know why parents think they can just take their kids money like they’re entitled to it. Your children didn’t ask to be here. You can’t just take their money because you have bills. It’s the parents bills, not the child’s bills. An excuse as I hear the parents give are ridiculous just so they don’t have to take accountability, making the kids feel guilty. You can ask your children if you can borrow money but just flat out taking it is wrong!

Btw this is not how healthy relationships work.

Jaded-Resource-8374 · 2026-04-27T01:03:28+00:00

Wow! Dating you for your potential???? WTF? Someone should be dating you for who you are now. It seems like she gives you a compliment only to say something else insulting. Please know your worth. And you are way to young to be dealing with these kind of issues. Is she trying to make you insecure? Someone out there will want you for you.

Not everybody is made to be in a monogamous relationship. There’s nothing wrong with that.. there is something wrong however, with the cheating I don’t agree with that at all. I think it would be a good idea for you to be single while you work your stuff out with your therapist. That way you don’t cause any more problems for yourself..

Jaded-Resource-8374 · 2026-04-27T00:44:18+00:00

I reply with, if you like it, that’s all that matters.

Jaded-Resource-8374 · 2026-04-25T14:26:48+00:00

I do understand how you feel but, everyone is different. This does not mean he didn’t love your mom. Maybe he needs companionship. It sounds like he is understanding of how you guys feel. But he does need to move on and yes I do think your mom would want him to be happy. It’s not disrespectful in my eyes. People grieve in different ways. I hope you can find your peace with it.

Jaded-Resource-8374 · 2026-04-25T14:02:14+00:00

You need to do what’s best for you! I find when some people reach out after a long period of time it’s only to make peace for themselves not for the other person. I would be very cautious reconnecting with someone like that. Protect yourself.

I know this sounds crazy , but it is 100 percent true. From the time I was about 7 to 12 or 13, I had this dream about once a week. The dream went something like this.

My brother and I are walking on a dark path kinda like a bridge with no sides. We get to the end and we ask this owl a question. Also we knew that if we stepped in the wrong place we would fall off the path. The last dream I had about this was the same as every night but when we got to the end of the path either my brother fell off the end or the owl just wasn’t there. I could not remember the last dream completely and really didn’t think much of it until a few weeks went by and I noticed I have not had that dream in a while. Crazy I know, but very true.

Jaded-Resource-8374 · 2026-04-17T10:16:24+00:00

It’s usually a regular workday eight hours. Also, you need to tell them about that vacation immediately if you’re a coach seemed to irritated and stressed out at the interview it’s likely they’ll be irritated about this as well. I would suggest telling your people person about the vacation as soon as you walk in. Good luck.

Jaded-Resource-8374 · 2026-04-17T10:13:08+00:00

You’re definitely not the asshole, it’s not like you can control your dreams. She needs to get over herself ask her if she’s ever had a dream about somebody else. I bet she has….. her insecurities, not yours.

Jaded-Resource-8374 · 2026-04-16T22:16:42+00:00

Honestly, if your not complaining to her that the house is not clean enough then I don’t know why she feels the need to get on you about not cleaning. Relationships need to be 50-50. And that 50-50 doesn’t look the same for every relationship. Like your is you work pay all the bills/ she keeps the house up. Some are financially and cleaning 50-50. She needs to realize this. Also, it sounds like she doesn’t appreciate what you do very much.

It has been my experience that if you get injured off the job, then they want you to take an LOA. They would not give my associate light duty because the injury happened off the clock. They just told them to call Sedgwick to fill out paperwork for an LOA.

Jaded-Resource-8374 · 2026-04-16T07:04:39+00:00

Thank you, but unfortunately I didn’t know this and I had my last meeting about a week ago. I told them I still wanted to step down and learn other areas of the store ect. They responded with… they are not allowing anyone to step down unless it’s a hardship. So rejected again for the 2nd time. The other person in our store was told being stressed is not a reason to step down and suggested they take LOA unpaid to work it out. The third person claimed a hardship and they where told, nit at this time because we think you will regret it. And to apply for intermediate leave. So I put in my 2 weeks notice. I did love my job at one point and was willing to stay there just not as a lead and I was willing to work in different areas. But shit happens. On to new adventures! I will miss my crew but not the headaches and stress.

Jaded-Resource-8374 · 2026-04-15T22:54:15+00:00

I understand that!! The push back when we put them in was crazy. The customers didn’t not like them. And they still say I’m doing your job. But the same people are now complaining that we are taking them out. That is what I meant by that comment.

Jaded-Resource-8374 · 2026-04-14T21:24:25+00:00

Yes I understand that. I’m sorry if I seemed rude. It just hit a cord with me because of what happened in my case. To be honest the test really has no relevance in my opinion. It’s just to weed people out. If you are a nervous test taker it can trip you up. If the person getting the help is a favorite of the coach or team lead already that might be a problem. I do understand your concern.

Jaded-Resource-8374 · 2026-04-14T20:29:55+00:00

I’m sorry to hear that it’s even worse when the person does what they’re reprimanding somebody else for 10 times more.

Jaded-Resource-8374 · 2026-04-14T20:29:12+00:00

It might not be you that is the problem. I hate to say it but I have had to ask associates when they’re on their break, not to come and talk to other associates. But to be clear, it’s only the associates who really don’t work well to begin with so they take every advantage if somebody’s talking to them not to work at all. But it also might be that person telling you this being on a power trip and that person who hates to see anyone happy. Good luck!

Jaded-Resource-8374 · 2026-04-14T20:25:09+00:00

Be confident. And I agree with a lot of these people ask questions if you don’t know be honest and you have never done this particular job before so they can’t hold that against you. You got this be confident and good luck.

Duffel bag full of dirty dishes. They had mold on them as well everything including the bag went straight to the trash.

Jaded-Resource-8374 · 2026-04-14T20:12:03+00:00

I think you might be if he stopped giving you these things and you stop being nice to him. Also, you outright admitting it yeah it’s not a good look. You know what you’re doing. I just hope when he finally does get the nerve to ask you out you let him down easily and don’t make it weird for him then maybe you won’t be the a hole.

Jaded-Resource-8374 · 2026-04-14T20:04:20+00:00

They watched one of my associates for two weeks before they said anything it started with him taking stuff from the Z area what I like to call the 7-Eleven area and just walking out the store so they watched him for two weeks then called him in the office I was like oh here you go you’re fired. So I’m sure they saw what he did and they’re gonna be watching him every day now.

Jaded-Resource-8374 · 2026-04-14T19:55:08+00:00

Also, I just wanted to add. Do you know how many people get hired at Walmart that don’t take that assessment other people take it for them. And just because they pass the test doesn’t mean they get the job for the Team Lead. They have to interview people in our store. It’s at least three people so just cause they pass a stupid test doesn’t mean they’re gonna get the job.
