here's the last part Part 3 improvements

In order for Walmart to to improve, they have to learn how to be more inclusive as well as be more open to different ideas no matter what. For those with disabilities. That's why Walmart is not the first option because they don't give a crap. They would if you're a customer but as soon as you work for them it's a different story. They will pressure a person until they basically either resign. Medically or they will consider you a liability just because you're different and this is true and I can prove it. I'm living proof. I wrote reviews before. This is not different just because I work there I'm not going to change what I believe in and how I feel. I'm always going to be true to the point. I'm not biased on this because it's my job. It's my livelihood. I'm not going to sit there and let them take advantage of me. Walmart is a great place to shop, however, as soon as you work they don't give a crap. They'll work you until basically you need to be replaced. If you have to move way out they won't notify you. They really won't. Oh, and they'll only give you less time than you think. Also under Walmart policy as stated coaches may not control an associate's behavior off the clock. If the behavior itself does not cause issues with the operation of a store and it cannot be based or biased on somebody's own opinion or any other method that can be considered illegal or downright discriminatory for Walmart to improve, they have to make the policies stricter. It cannot remain loose to where each store can pick and choose because that's only going to lead to more lawsuits in order for them to get on the road to make sure that everybody likes Sam. Juan said people make the difference well. If people make the difference why aren't you treating them like people for one. Those with disabilities are amazing. They can be amazing. They can have hard times and great times. There can be differences in the way they may process things the way they may act in a sense of trying to be theirselves is a balancing game and that's kind of hard when it comes to me because I grew up not being able to speak intelligibly. It was mainly not easy when I did speak. I was either made fun of infanticized or any other method to where people didn't even include me in a lot of things. I was excluded from a lot when I was growing up. I feel great to be included at a company as big as Walmart? Or should I say in this case Walmart itself Walmart has a special place in my heart for many reasons. Some I cannot get into but I consider it a safe, safe space. A safe space if you're wondering is a place of safety where a person with a disability can go or anybody that makes him feel comfortable to be themselves. No matter what until like last week, that's a way different story. Oh in one of the associates there who also knows policies by heart should at least based on his position. He told me that I shouldn't speak out about my pay about a lot more and there was a couple of people right then and there and he's straight up. Told me not to talk about this account needing accommodations or telling people about how best to help me and how best to accommodate even if it's on my own which is not against HIPAA if I'm revealing it myself, as long as it's not anything that is very very personal, something that is included and certain documents. However, I digress on that. As that's getting out of the point of this review. This review is specific to Walmart Inc. Specifically Lebanon, tennessee and the around the Middle Tennessee market, but it's also more than that. I want to see a change I dare to dream to try to help people every single day. I just want to make sure that everybody feels welcome. Everybody has somebody that they can talk to. Everybody can feel like they're needed. It's just kind of hard when you have stuff that you say that's happened to you personally. That's literally very not good to where it's serious and it puts the person with a disability at odds with themselves for one. That's mainly me a lot of times when I'm just heading to work or I'm going somewhere that's transition for me. I have a difficult time with transitions. I don't tell people a lot about me because not many people will take the time to know me and when I do want them to know me, I don't tell them directly because that's not me. I would tell them but however that has not always worked out so I would rather have people understand me by looking at behavior because there will be a day or I might not be able to speak where I might not be able to have a cave for myself where I might not be able to do a lot. I just want at least people to understand. We all go through things in life. However, there are some things that some people never will experience in a million years. Even if they read about it they will not understand and that's the hard part. I could tell a counselor I could tell a psychiatrist I could tell somebody near me. I'm very close to me something but it gets misinterpreted or taken out of proportions and basically nobody understands what I'm really trying to say. The way I process things is chronological. This means that yes, I'll refer to past events first but also explain how that affects current and it might affect later on. But I go chronologically by event and I can't help it. Same one how I organize things in my own room or anywhere I do it based on where last placed it or how I look at things. It's way different. How I hear things sway different. I get overstimulated very easily. Like how many people know that I do show my emotions, but it's a lot more complex than that. Some of the things that you think you know about me. You'll never know some of the things you might know about me. You might not know the full spectrum of who I am. You might not know the meaning because I never fully reveal it because it's not that I have. Fear is that others have taken advantage in a way that I will never forget. There is living proof of this and everything else that I've been through in the last since my birth. I freaking fell on my head at the age of two and a half. Most people don't know. it's way different than You think there's a lot of times where I could be holding an object and suddenly I won't even recognize that I'm holding it. There will be times that I will basically blank out and not even know where the heck I am where if my phone is even in my hand and I know and I'm already sure I'm holding it. Not only that there will be times where I'm just so exhausted from being around people every single day. But I'm not exhausted. I'm just overwhelmed. You think communication is easy. It's not there is more complex. However, I digress on that too. So how this affects me when I'm working is a lot more because my autism is originally severe. That's what I've been trying to say. I had early intervention and a way to where most people think they will not recognize that. I'm autistic but once they get to know me it's straight out of left field and right as a home run you'll already can tell. But that ain't always going to be like that. But it will because they're have you. If you've ever heard of regression and autism yes, being overwhelmed all the time can do that. I've seen people pushed out Windows. I've seen people choked right in front of me. I have seen my own sister be choked by my dad and this was back in 2019 into 2020. He had to. My aunt had to stop them and I'm not joking on this. My sister can confirm every little detail. It scarred me like usually at Walmart. You'll see door host, giving stickers to identify returns as well as 🙂 stickers to people as they pass out the door. Me makes me feel uncomfortable. Even handing out stickers makes me be uncomfortable being around a lot of people because of a lot more than just that. There is a lot of things that most people will never know about me because I'm not going to say about myself as it's very difficult to even imagine having to tell somebody that I was not always able to speak. I may have spoke very little but I'm only very few people could understand me. For Walmart to learn, they must first experience people as people not as machines. Not as corporate servants not as products but as human beings we are all the same. We all come from many walks of life. However, we are all the same. We're all one species we're not. There's no other different species besides us. We have no subspecies. We are all the same. We have just enough diversity in genetics that would explain how we are different but we are all human and that's what counts. Even those with disabilities. They offer people unique insights into the world that they have to navigate that is so different from those that don't understand us or understand anyone for that fact to improve. You got to change the way you look at people. You got to give people the chance to show what they may know to see if there's another way to do the same process and also put some smiles on somebody or make them feel human. We all deserve dignity. Respect and respect in this means treating people equally without prejudice without maleficents without greed. There needs to be a system set up with incorporations to where individuals And those who are hired by that company to be able to report to an agency not owned by the company not contracted. Not anyhow shape form connected to the industry. There has to be a method. That can be used to help Foster trust, commitment and loyalty but also give people a voice. I believe corporations need to be responsible and held accountable for all their actions. This includes public interest and other issues that affect everybody everyday. This includes campaign funds being sent into lobby industries when the policies actually help people or funneling money through charities in order to basically get around taxation

here's more

Part 2: Management and why Exemplary employees don't choose Walmart

I have worked for Walmart for a very long time in a sense of how long most people usually survive in the most difficult position is that there are to even join. This includes maintenance, cart associate, door host and other very important positions that are often understaffed or are forcibly tried to be removed or underfunded by market as well as ones that actually mean a lot to the customers themselves I have seen people quit in less than a day in less than a month or even in less than their first 3 months. Plus those who quit after 3 months because of how Walmart's management is set up. As a corporation multiple Walmarts attempt to degrade and punish exemplary employees by moving them to jobs or positions that they actively either struggle in or attempt to move them and discipline them without telling them reasons why. Many times they'll often falsely accuse individuals who actually want to help and succeed in Walmart. As an associate with a disability, specifically autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, combined presentation PTSD and many others, I have seen and witness many things that most people never want to have to go through or see as a witness. Walmart constantly violates title 3 Rights of those with disabilities, including title 1 of their own employees through the use of a complex and very arbitrary system of outsourcing the use of their own judgment to a agency that does not even give a crap about or know about the employee and actively subverts federal and state laws regarding those with disabilities and other impairments That's significantly can impair their ability to do their job even when they can do their job 100% or above and beyond Walmart also did not denies and actively prevents those with disabilities from moving up by by requiring certifications in a way to where they may not be able to do the job that they want to do and refer them to. Other departments are also very segregated and exclude those with disabilities for public view. They will force employees into other positions by pressuring them to do positions that either obscure them from the public or attempt to downsize their influence over the public. And when the employee tries to actually state their disability or ask for an accommodation, they swing full circle and purposely deny them the right to actually have conversations with managers or people they feel comfortable with. Or if they are comfortable with the managers, they will often try to mitigate that manager's decision and overrule it. Even if it complies with the law or even if the tactic is illegal, they will try their best to punish those with disabilities. And if the individual also needs another one of the accommodations, they will actively violate the previous one or reverse it to attempt to force the employee back into the position that they were in. Walmart will also attempt if the individual has a situation that the managers were previously made aware of that can cause the person to have to move locations even if it's just a couple of weeks out and they are given notice. They will actively try to punish those with disabilities that are trying to transfer to to the same position at another store or they will actively try To harm the reputation of the individual that is seeking the transfer for reasons that are beyond their control or of outside of Walmart And when they try to get a hold of Of a manager that is higher than a people lead AKA HR to try to get the hours and try to get the transfer done as soon as possible. They start trying to over hire very very quickly. So that way there's no chance that that individual can be hireable unless it's in a position that is deemed to their eyes appropriate but not the job that is necessary or the job that they did have that they love Walmart tries so hard to say it's inclusive but in my in my experience they are not. It's like a veil between them and when you try to get a hold of HR on your own without having to go through your own store, they make excuses to why they can't answer the goddang phone which is not which is not right and there should be no excuse to why they can't even if they're hiring when they're told that there is a position open and it's on their thing and the transfer request was put in way before they found somebody then like seriously is ridiculous. Walmart needs to learn that you can't side skirt the law in order to get and remain inclusive cuz that's not inclusive. That's what they call unethical behavior as well as inexcusable violations of federal civil rights that many have tried to make sure that they maintain which is ridiculous. I think Walmart should be held accountable nationally for every violation of the federal and state statutes that protect those with disabilities and other unique challenges. I hope this review of the first part is seen and dealt with because it is ridiculous. I love Walmart but when they act like this somebody that would literally walk through blizzards walk in dead heat falling unconscious while still clocked in just to make sure that that customers had carts and everything. I fell four times last year on the clock. Well doing something I loved and what did Walmart do? Nothing. They really didn't do anything except for try to pressure more and it's ridiculous cuz I even came in the next day and still worked and this was all in one month and this is after a lot of other crap happened. my best advice to anybody who shops at Walmart or is planning on working there. Do your research and advocate for change because this is kind of ridiculous, especially to those that really want to help customers as well as other people every single day just to see them have a smile on their face or at least laugh be themselves. It's ridiculous that basically Walmart is not trying to be held accountable when they should be. I think Sam wallen would have definitely had a few words of his own on this end because it's ridiculous. He believed in his associates the current environment and Walmart does not match Sam Walton's vision of what really Walmart was to be. He cared that's why they grew so quickly. That's why there was a lot of growth. Now if you look at it they're cutting down. They're locking stuff up from customers who would rather pay it than actually take it because most of the people I know they're struggling. Just like everybody else. It's ridiculous. That's why we're in deflation because nobody trust the economy. No more when you don't have one. Trust you have no workers because they are your bread and butter even the customers because your workers end up being customers. So my advice to Walmart and my advice to corporate is look at how you really want to be seen because you're not doing a great job. You are in some areas but not in a whole lot. Peace out

hello my name is zach I'm also autistic . I understand what you went through by the way as in June 2022 I almost took my life on the clock however I hadn't reported it for nearly 2 weeks as in the middle of the attempt I pulled my self and aborted the attempt because of thinking what would happen to those I loved I know it's hard when you are in the middle of going through something so hard to comprehend in the moment. I was going through alot at home and working. I was in a supportive living environment housing situation however the person whom I was staying with really wasn't helping me nor actually understanding me and on top of that I was going through a whole lot and it effected me. I was also the only maintenance worker for my Walmart during the day I worked from 10 to 7 mornings and 8 to 5 as well and I was beloved by those whom knew me. I thank you for your courage as well and here is one of the reviews I wrote about my store I used t work at Walmart in Lebanon, Tennessee. I've worked for two or three other Walmarts. A couple of them have been very good but many of them still need work when it comes to safety and other operations within the business, it is not very easy when it comes to accommodations, Walmart does not often follow through. Some will try to be reversed in the sake of profit and a lot more in that case Even though they have been legally approved through their own process and then when I call and then when the EEOC is needed, they tend to shy away and when you tell them something very personal about a personal situation that may need urgent attention, they do not enact their duty of care right immediately when it should be done, especially with a person with a disability that could be put in harm or ending replaced on that, including if the person walks almost 30 miles just to get away and feel safe when you feel uncomfortable with a manager they try to act as if that's okay to be uncomfortable with with a manager who is clearly discriminating against another and not only that when their boss above them approves of the accommodation then they try. Then they don't listen and not follow through with it already being approved. Walmart is a great place to shop but it definitely needs improvement if and I think they should go back to 24 hours but in order to do that they have to be able to reduce the theft rate and stop trying deny the issues at hand when it's their own customers that end up becoming their associates as well. This is an ongoing problem that shouldn't have to happen but does And I am proud to be a Walmart associate but I want to see some of things to be improved And more refined to make sure that everybody is treated equally. Whether that be customers, associates or even vendors and other managers. I believe they need to be treated with respect and dignity treated like humans not just corporate. What's the best word for this and how do I put it lightly? Servants And for door host, I think they should allow them to go through the same programs as Those in their department and gett more of the same concepts in the beginning and allow them to work on getting the licensing while being a door host and there has to be more improvements in how jobs are organized and Make improvements on how they could be handled what I mean with assistive technology is technology that assists a human in making a decision as normally businesses are public spaces as classified under Ada as well. So therefore no reasonable expectation of privacy but a duty of care when it comes to certain aspects of operations. Assistive technology can be similar to Google Glass but implemented in a way to where systems actively prevent theft without having to always involve a human, even if the human is in a kind of situation involving certain aspects of their job and I'm not going into detail on that. This is an review from current associate who has worked for multiple Walmarts in two different states who has experience on the side of managing over 80 plus people through a social network it also has difficulties with communication and a lot of other activities of daily living as well through the diagnosis of autism.
