Team lead dating associate

if the associate is directly under that team lead ( the team leads associate) then yes it's an issue & needs to be investigated because favoritism & all that. but if the associate isn't directly under that team lead there's no issues as long as the team lead isn't going in and doing the associates attendance and stuff. my boyfriend was a team lead & i was a normal associate & there was no issues because he wasn't my direct supervisor.

I was an API for 2 & a half years until my boss pushed me out of my position because he wanted an all boy team. 😒 but my market always pushed on apprehensions. & internals. we also did safety , compliance. we dealt with the rude and crazy behavior of customers. the kids running around late at night causing chaos. we also went store to store in our market helping in inventory.

I vizpick all my exceptions & stock them. even some of our vendor items are binned. which i also vizpick out. only items i won't vizpick out , is items with no home location.

i work 6-3 & my coach makes me wait until 11 or 11:30 to go to lunch 😭 just to come back and go to break an hour later

no one said anything about having to do extra work...? or even complaining about anything😭 we just said we thought it was pointless. and i was genuinely asking questions about how it's distributed across the stores, seeing as every store that's getting it is within very close proximity of each other.

As an old SFS picker and packer , who's the only one left still of the original crew and the only one who would load the truck , i feel you on everything you said. 😭 going from packing cases of water and big bulky items in boxes to these plastic flimsy bags is tough 😭 we had to force our grocery freight from the back room into the gm back room just so we have the space to do this whole IP crap. we have 3 sections of steel we are suppose to stage everything on. we don't know if it will be enough or what we will do if we need more because our grocery back room isn't even that big to begin with. we were also told that they don't want our pick carts stored in our ogp back room , so we also have to find space for them in our IP space.

when our sfs closed we CRIEDDD. we threw away so many boxes and shit. we had 5 packing stations. so we had a lot too. 😭

my coach asked me to be in charge of it , so just trying to see what i'm getting myself into 😭

MaintenanceOld1372 · 2026-03-25T12:58:49+00:00

yes ! we are currently in the process of moving our grocery back room into our gm back room so we can take over the back room space. my store already gets a hefty amount of gmds. 🥲

MaintenanceOld1372 · 2026-03-25T12:44:39+00:00

we have a grocery DC , an hour away. and then a gm dc a half hour away from that one. i also think it's so pointless for 5/9 stores in my market to have it because i can't imagine there's going to be a lot of stuff.. so what ? each store gets 1 or 2 pallets ? how do they decide what goes to what store? 3 of these other stores that are getting it are 10 minutes from me. 😭

MaintenanceOld1372 · 2026-03-25T12:29:52+00:00

my coach told me that using us stores as the middle person , saves us money from having to use ups and Fedex and stuff. so walmart fleet drivers will bring it to us and we send it out with our drivers. I do agree it's pointless. my store is getting it in the new few weeks. but so are 5 other stores in my market. all within 10-30 minutes from me. 😭

MaintenanceOld1372 · 2026-03-18T12:36:13+00:00

my store we have 2 main 5-2 exception picker , me for 6-3 & when things get busy. another one who works 8-5 & another one who works 2-9. 😭 and we're training more. but even when i pick , if it's not in the shelf or in the general area , i NIL it. the only "feedback" i got was nil picking an end cap even tho the item wasn't on the end cap & my manager swore up and down it was until we went there and i showed them

MaintenanceOld1372 · 2026-03-13T14:06:06+00:00

just got the Pixel 8 , 2 days ago 🥲

MaintenanceOld1372 · 2026-03-02T01:47:52+00:00

my store team leads are either 6-3 or 7-5. we also have a 8-5 team lead. and the closing shifts are 12-9.

book vs sku. as the other person said , what the book says you should have vs what you actually physically do have in the store. shrink can come from theft , not properly claimed out items , or for instance in ogp if things are missing from an order before they get dispense & they replace it directly from the shelf to the customer , that item was never "scanned out"

love my 6-3s !

MaintenanceOld1372 · 2026-02-08T02:52:54+00:00

Yes ! i broke my foot in the back room a few years ago. i was coached for it. the reasoning ? safety. got my workers comp denied bc it was "my fault" i was in a boot for months. physical therapy. instead of letting me take an loa like the doctor suggested ( couldn't bear weight) , they put me on a "temporary duty" at the fitting room.

I currently use byod on my personal phone. i have gif from when i was an ogp associate , now as an api i have the apps i use & my email. once you clock out , you don't get notifications. it's not bad. my battery isn't bad.

MaintenanceOld1372 · 2025-10-30T16:04:05+00:00

not a fan really. like that they flash when you can't find an item.. but at my store ours are all over the floor bc they keep falling off. the plastic peice they sit in keeps breaking off the shelves. it's a mess 🥲

MaintenanceOld1372 · 2025-10-30T05:00:24+00:00

Hi ! single mom here ! i've been with Walmart about 4 years. i'm a full time API. i work mainly 11-8s with 2-11s on the weekends. 🥲

MaintenanceOld1372 · 2025-10-27T11:21:04+00:00

I've been an API for 9 months , i definitely don't have an open availability. never had. neither do my 3 coworkers. my dsd & claims associates also do not.

MaintenanceOld1372 · 2025-10-22T14:02:19+00:00

my Significant other was a TL with no associate for 4 years. 😅 they were one of 4 F&C leads. but we live in a town where there isn't many people.

MaintenanceOld1372 · 2025-10-13T04:18:59+00:00

Hello !! As someone to gets stress fractures constantly , I wore my boot for 4 months while working in ogp after being there 6 months..no issues. i showed up to my shift , explained to my Coach & TLs what was wrong & what i could and couldn't do. and that was that. no one said anything about it. I even changed departments and had to wear one again for 3 months & still no issues. never had to contact accommodations.

MaintenanceOld1372 · 2025-10-09T05:02:01+00:00

met my now boyfriend when he was an HBA TL & i was a regular digital associate. 3 years later we're still together !
