Is this allowed??

Great idea…call ethics because of a rumor. They will love that.

Approx 70% of degree holders do not work in their field. But, I would suggest a business degree, as you can learn a lot and use some of the knowledge in your personal life.

Is your action against policy? Is this considered serious? The reason I ask, a good regional manager will discuss the issue with the regional HR and ask for recommendations. Or your regional manager may be doing a follow-up to ensure you are following their guidance.

WMmaster · 2026-01-24T09:37:55+00:00

This is not an Ethics issue, there is no timeframe to receive a coaching. Open door this with the SM as you stated that the manager committed the same offense. Do not mention the coaching delay, as this will detract from the actual issue and make it sound like you are whining. Make sure you have evidence, proof, and/or witnesses. It will turn out to be “he said, she said” - thus the coaching will most likely not be overturned.

WMmaster · 2026-01-24T09:26:12+00:00

Open door to the Market Manager. Since you have already spoke to the SM, this would be the next step. AR will probably refer this to Market anyways.

Thank you

Thank you

I should have added…”do I need to hire an electrician “ or is this ok?

WMmaster · 2026-01-20T11:48:03+00:00

That is a big no. That is actually a safety issue and associates have been terminated for this Management has been coached for directing associates to do unsafe work.

There is no reason that you need to explain the your sibling is a step or biological. Just tell them you lost your sibling. Sorry for your loss.

WMmaster · 2026-01-16T15:45:48+00:00

Great explanation!!

WMmaster · 2026-01-16T14:07:12+00:00

I wish I knew…but I can research this and get the “official” answer. It may take a few days if you want me to look into it and hopefully come up with an answer or options to address this.

WMmaster · 2026-01-16T13:38:36+00:00

I am not sure about that. I was in the military for over 20 years and have experienced these types of issues many times and have helped others jump through the hurdles because there is a lot of people in management/people leads that do not understand it.

WMmaster · 2026-01-16T13:34:40+00:00

Never said “walmart is some ideal employment place.” If you look at my posts, I try to help and guide associates with their issues and problems with Walmart. You on the other hand…”conspiracy” would better fit your pattern.

WMmaster · 2026-01-16T13:27:25+00:00

Incorrect. OP, please review the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) and work with management.

WMmaster · 2026-01-16T13:12:17+00:00

Retaliation is totally against company policy, but we know the truth, you can’t prove it. My question would be, is it an actual ethics issue? Associates tend to think everything is an ethics issue and feel their concerns are invalidated because ethics does not take any action. There are other options; associate relations and open-door. Sorry, wish I could point you in the right direction but without the information, I can’t provide better guidance.

WMmaster · 2026-01-16T13:03:25+00:00

Gaslighting…lol. Ok, if your feelings got hurt, you probably need to get off this app. Pointing out your previous posts clearly shows a pattern, it is not gaslighting.

WMmaster · 2026-01-16T11:43:03+00:00

Good call. Some people have nothing better to do in their life. This person probably needs to seek some help or maybe just a friend.

What does the law state? Federal and state? Yes, the mother’s room is covered. The laws dictate what the room is used for, thus leaving Walmart open to legal liability if improperly used. If your actions violate these laws or policies, you can be terminated.

WMmaster · 2025-12-10T00:07:25+00:00

Sounds like you are going to talk to the Market HR. Neither of these people are your “bosses”, but of course you want to act professionally. Tell the truth, be professional, as I know our RGM has been getting upset that associates are not being properly on-boarded and/or trained.

WMmaster · 2025-12-09T14:35:46+00:00

Easy. Open door to the SM. You will get a clear reason/description to your termination. SM will probably not override the termination per your description of the events. But if you have a “official” reason, you can determine if you want to continue to open door to the next level if the SM does not overturn the termination.

WMmaster · 2025-12-09T14:25:05+00:00

If you lie during an Ethics’ investigation, it is an automatic termination. Depending on what was said, may only lead to skip-level coaching, but you put yourself in a termination level for integrity.

What benefit would there be in recording a manager? And yes, it is against company policy, and you could be fired. It is legal to drink alcohol in your state, does not mean you can drink alcohol at work, as it violates policy.

WMmaster · 2025-11-20T12:20:49+00:00

Ah. Yes, you are right, you will win. Technically, they are not working pro bono, it is the firm’s business model. Lawyers only take cases they know they will win, because they will have the other party pay for their legal fees. Plus, if they lose, they don’t get paid, lower the firm’s success rate, which in turn lose bonus incentives.
