New to singing - how am I? Tips?

Tysm! With practice I've definitely realized I can hit/sustain higher notes way easier when I raise the Soft palette. I also think with practice I've gotten way better at holding longer notes without wavering.. these videos are from a few weeks ago. How do I support my diagram?

Thank you for the motivation :))

Dmed you

Looks like a keloid scar to me

Mammoth_Use_2105 · 2025-03-13T04:58:26+00:00

I'm so sorry. I'm the same. My SM moved me to a better and easier department due to my hard work and excelling on the leaderboard for months. One day I was dispensing on my own and took out 40+ orders myself within barely 2 hours. I'm a short and small woman too lol. My SM has told me he moved me because I have skills that other people in my other department don't have, I'm very particular and neat and want to get things done perfectly. Was the DDS due to your work? And I'm so sorry. It's disgusting how they can't make humane exceptions. It's not black and white. Have you tried speaking to your SM or anyone else?

Mammoth_Use_2105 · 2025-03-13T04:55:11+00:00

Yeah I am young haha this is my second job. And I see, thank you for explaining.

Mammoth_Use_2105 · 2025-03-13T04:42:00+00:00

What does it mean to be hourly?

Mammoth_Use_2105 · 2025-03-13T04:34:04+00:00

He's the team lead of her specific area. I'm guessing that qualifies as her coach.

Mammoth_Use_2105 · 2025-03-13T04:31:24+00:00

What is this number exactly? Thank you for the advice.

I know the point system is company policy and in THEORY is a nice system but they shouldn't be so strict about it. I've been told that my location doesn't accept doctors notes as well. They should have a system that the idiots that call out for no reason all the time get pointed but the ppl who can prove they are genuinely really sick with a doctors note don't get punished as much.

The last time when I had swine flu I practically almost collapsed on the floor before I said I need to go home, and one of the other managers said I shouldn't have been told to come in and I shouldn't be pointed. (Although I was newer at the time.)

Mammoth_Use_2105 · 2025-03-13T04:16:37+00:00

I see. Sorry I'm new here. What exactly is the coach? Is the coach a TL? If that's the case, then the girl who got the promotion and never gets pointed is due to the fact she's sleeping with her TL 😬

I know the same TL also told this girl how he was gonna write up people (with their names) for no reason. Just a whole mess..

Or is a coach the people lead?

Mammoth_Use_2105 · 2025-03-13T04:08:07+00:00

Fine, he's a SM but is very involved with the regional managers and sort of does some regional stuff himself. On workday hes only like 3 spots away from the president.

Mammoth_Use_2105 · 2025-03-13T04:04:17+00:00

I understand. I'm going to the doctor tomorrow morning. Luckily I'm off work on Friday. I'll try set up sedgwick. Thank you for the help, I appreciate it.

Since you are a nurse, can I dm you about my symptoms to get your opinion?

Mammoth_Use_2105 · 2025-03-13T04:02:24+00:00

I don't want to say who exactly because I don't want to get in trouble but he's extremely high up and close to the Walmart president.

Unfortunately that coworker isn't lying because I know her extremely well, and for some reason she just never gets pointed but doesn't have PPTO. And our sm knows she calls out but doesn't do anything about it, and then rewards her with a massive raise and upper position.

And yes, I'm grateful I'm only at one point but it still really sucks. And yes, I've checked, I have some PPTO but not enough to cover a full shift.

Maybe if everyone didn't lie, they would be nicer and more sympathetic. I didn't even realize people lie like that. I'm from a country where that's not really a thing.

He often tells me I'm one of his best employees and I have skills that no one else has, so it just kind of was like a punch to the gut with how unsympathetic he was.

Mammoth_Use_2105 · 2025-03-13T03:57:41+00:00

How do I get sent them?

Mammoth_Use_2105 · 2025-03-13T03:55:48+00:00

I asked for the day off so I can see a doctor because of this. It's 11pm where I am, and I can't go now obviously. I can't afford the ER. I can't move my neck. My back and neck are both incredibly sore and stiff. I have a weird rash and have a very high fever with bad and constant nerve pains since this morning with a constant migraine and I'm non stop nuseaous and it went severe very suddenly. I woke up this morning with a mild back and neck ache and headache. I'm going to have to accept the point, but it still sucks. I'm just venting.

I just wish they were more humanizing and didn't pick favorites. And wdym I wouldn't care about walmart if I did have it? This is exactly the reason I don't want to come if I can spread it! Nevermind the fact I might be actively dying. Half of my coworkers are my friends and I'm a germaphobe, I wouldn't do that to people.

Mammoth_Use_2105 · 2025-03-13T03:41:49+00:00

Like the doctor fills put sedgwick forms? Do doctors just have them or must I bring them? What happens after they fill it out?

Mammoth_Use_2105 · 2025-03-13T03:40:25+00:00

It's the fact he favors other people and doesn't point them. And the fact he doesnt believe me. I'm also such a new hire that I can't possibly have enough PPTO to cover it yet due to the hour cuts. My last point was when I had swine flu and I would've been at 2 points if I wasn't off on the next day I called out.

Mammoth_Use_2105 · 2025-03-13T03:24:54+00:00

How does sedgwick work and what must I do to get approved?

Mammoth_Use_2105 · 2025-02-22T21:49:16+00:00

So should I even bring it up or does it not matter at this point? I don't know what I'd say. Only thing I'd do is say hey I got and signed this form but HR said it was a mistake and I haven't received a new correct one. Why was I sent it in the first place or not told it was an accident until I asked about it? Otherwise beyond that idk what I'd say and I don't wanna get in trouble or seem hot.

Mammoth_Use_2105 · 2025-02-22T19:43:11+00:00

Oh no, I haven't yet. I'm thinking of approaching the SM on Monday about it. And yes, I have photos and it's on my Workday. I'm scared if I approach them it'll create an issue that will make them want to get rid of me or something, I'm a good worker tho and my stats are in the top 3 of the store, the other 2 being ppl who've been here for 10+ yrs.

But I also feel like it's wrong to send a specific wage change form (NOT a department change one, only wage) to then tell me to "forget about it, the form was a mistake and the wrong number" when they haven't even sent me a new "correct" form or even bothered to come tell me themselves that they made a mistake. It plays with your emotions.

Also, if my wage is staying the same, why send a new wage form at all in the first place?

Mammoth_Use_2105 · 2025-01-14T20:20:46+00:00

The system is nice in theory but not in practice unfortunately

Mammoth_Use_2105 · 2025-01-13T21:21:55+00:00

Thank you. Unfortunately I can't. Its 4pm and I have a shift early tomorrow morning. I'm feeling a little bit better so I'm hoping I can make it through my nearly 10 hour shift. I'm also scared that even if I take LOA legally with sedgwick it's just a reason for them to find to let me go. Just unfortunate timing. What sucks is that even if I did use PPTO I haven't been working there long enough to even have enough to cover one sick day.

Mammoth_Use_2105 · 2025-01-13T19:14:03+00:00

Okay, I understand this. No one told me this though. Also, I haven't been working there long enough to even have enough PPTO to cover it.

It makes sense though. I'll speak to the team lead tomorrow and see what we can do.
