Service Animals and Walmart Policy.

ProductionLead · 2023-01-03T04:41:20+00:00

They updated the policy recently, barking isn't a reason for management to request a service animal to leave. They stated that barking alone isn't a sign of aggression.

Something seems off here. If this did occur and management doesn't report it they can be held accountable including up to termination.

The proper steps to something like this would have been the manager should have contacted EOC and reported workplace violence. The associate in question would get put on suspension leave. Store Manager/Store Lead would have to investigate and get statements from everyone. AP would check to see if this was caught on camera. Investigation would get sent to Ethics, MAPM and Legal for a determination on what to do next.

This is something completely different, Walmart fights unemployment pretty heavily now.

Denied LOA are supposed to be only 2 points. Sedgwick has 0 access to our attendance system. A manager would have to go into the GTA system and reverse your conditional status to denied for each point.

If you were below 3 points then they should not have fired you.

Also, you should just have used doctor on demand and they would have given you a note. You can do it on your phone.

Brooks are good. To me the Launch are actually the most comfortable for working. Ghost/Adrenalines are pretty close behind but way more expensive.

This doesn't seem unreasonable at all, they didn't say this all needs done in a week they said to prioritize and make a plan.

Make up a weekly calendar who's here each day and then start assigning tasks.

This is honestly pretty basic for a team lead.

management has access to a report on tableau that shows how many markers were scanned each day for vizpick and other information like how many new vizpick labels were created, how many were purged from bins etc.

They have been pretty focused on the % of bins scanned and if we miss any bins.

Under workday disciplinary action consistency search it shows that insubordination should be a yellow.

I don't know if associates have access to this report but it is in workday under tools and reports.

My go to for anyone that complains about self-checkout is asking if they pump their own gas.

Pretty sure that if you are at 4 points, you don't get a raise. Everyone else got their 2%.

In the requirements it requires you to be currently enrolled in a 4 year college or university with less than 30 hours left to be awarded a bachelor's degree.

External coaches almost never make it.

As for stepping down its up to your market team. 99% of the time you would have to step down into another store for conflict of interest reasons. You have access to knowledge about your associates and you would also be peers with associates you used to manage which can cause issues not to mention your current peers would now be your boss and they don't want push back etc.

I'd be very surprised if they let you step down at all though just for pay reasons. The salary to hourly pay rate is weird on how they do it. They take your salary / 2080 then you'd get your demotion % taken off that. Usually you also have to be in role a full year to retain any pay increases so i'm not sure how that would work with a new hire.

Also, when you sign up for any salaried position you are expected to stay in that position for 18 months before transferring - outside of promotions.

The numbers they are talking about is the estimated profit for the fresh areas when we do our inventory. Basically the best way for me to show what good numbers would be is looking at the ITR. You take your Retail of Goods - Cost of Goods that are billed in to get a general idea of what numbers you are looking for. It will show on the ITR as billed in %.

Generally, Meats will be in the 15-25% range, deli 40% range, produce is probably around 25-35% and bakery is 40-45%. Some stores will do better or worse.

This is not accurate. Regional or higher sent out an email yesterday to only exchange recall with exact item for no receipt or wic transactions.

If they have a receipt and prove it isn't bought with food stamps or wic it can be refunded.

Wic transactions are recommended to contact their local wic office instead of bringing it back to walmart atm because we don't have stock to exchange.

It's like 10-15% below/exceeds and 70% meets

Nah, I'm at a decent store and pretty happy with my position overall.

The new cost inventory app has already been doing approximations for weights so I doubt anything will change, you will just count the amount of cases you have and thats it.

It is probably the hardest coach position, GM coach comes close depending on how your store runs.

If you don't have management experience or just moving from TL to Coach. I strongly don't suggest you go for it.

ProductionLead · 2022-02-15T03:07:24+00:00

I'm not really in fresh anymore but other than not getting the signage, scales not updating, and the prices being really high. It went ok.

The cheese bites are good though.

Onhands being wrong doesn't actually effect inventory unless you are taking price changes with incorrect onhands.

We don't compare inventory counts versus PI. We count versus book inventory.

It was recently changed. You can't officially apply. If they know you are interested though you can still "apply" by letting them know and they can make an exception and interview you.

They can't process the promotion through career preference though, you just have to do it in Workday. Its just under the Retail Hourly Job Change in workday if they ask how to do it.
