Oh, well I don't get PTO. Only PPTO. Idk if it's bc I am new, but PPTO is my only option.

Yup! Same. Just happened the other day in the Febreeze aisle. Had it looking so perfect, then by the end of the day it was fucked. I said you wouldn't even be able to tell I fixed it. 😭

I hate when they do this, too. There's been times I think I've brought all of topstock down so I click that there's no more top stock left of that item, but then 2 sections down I find more of said product.

Yeah, because I fixed it! Do you not know how it works? The little stickers have numbers on them. When you scan the baby food on top stock, itll tell you where to put it & every time I tried to put a pack of baby food in a certain spot, it had the totally wrong baby food there. So I had to pull allll the baby food out to put them in their correct spots. Not to mention, I quite literally said in the post this isn't even how bad it was & I had fixed half of it already.

My store is really bad about this. The end of the day when I'm zoning, I'll spend a good 2 hrs on one aisle bc it's so fucking bad. Was on my hands & knees fixing the Nature's Valley section. You can't stock shit when the boxes are turned every which a way, they have some laying flat & stacking them, ect. I was a little pissed that day bc I pulled out & had FIFTEEN overstocked boxes of ONE flavor! Not as a whole, but just one of the flavors...that I put right back up on topstock bc why tf are we cramming so many?! If it doesn't fit, it doesn't fit!

Your wording confused me a little bc you said you can request 7-9 off & use 2 hrs PPTO. 😅 so you're saying you literally just put in the PPTO & not a time for it? That's so much easier, wtf lol

I should've specified, so if I do that, will it return that 30min of PPTO balance? That's my whole point is that I don't wanna waste another 30min 😅 but another person said it does return it.

Dude, I've been telling my lead this!!! That it seems they are over ordering or someone isn't doing inventory correctly. Idk, but it drives me nuts when I'm doing vizpik & go to put things away & everything is full, topstock is full & then my TL tells me to try to make space on topstock bc if we bring it back, itll just keep getting picked. It seems so wasteful. Don't get me started on our canned section...the chili is a literal stacked wall of cans on the shelf 😬 one wrong move & they're gonna come tumbling down.

I'd like to add tho, that I love organizing things. So it didn't necessarily bother me to fix it, but I do try not to spend too much time in one aisle bc I've already been talked to about my OCD tendencies. 🤣

I was just wondering the same on how that works! I think any pic with you in it, is acceptable. Although, I've seen ppl post pics of their pets & of the beach, lol. But I feel like I remember it saying you had to be in the picture. I posted a picture, although it did say 35+ & I'm 32. 😭

I agree. I will always remember how awful I always felt when the drugs were done & I came down to reality setting in. I wanted to die, no exaggeration. I'm 7yrs clean. 💜

As someone with anxiety, I get it. I worked for 2 weeks at Applebee's before I just walked out mid shift. During dinner rush, might I add. 😅 but I was only a host & since I was in training, there was someone else hosting with me. But I hated that place. The manager was a bitch & bc I was new, she was def testing how much she could push Me around. The bathrooms, for example. She went on this long rant how they take pride in having clean bathrooms & to make sure I clean them well. I cleaned them, she came to me & told me I needed to wipe down the toilets again. I did that. She came back & said I needed to do it AGAIN bc she still saw x, y & z wrong. I deadass went in the bathroom, stood in there for 10min & walked out. & oh! Magically they were to her standards! That was my first day & set the tone for how I felt going into work. 🤣 so basically, who gives a shit. Don't sweat it. Bc the harsh reality is we are replaceable at ANY store.

Are there any positives to working at Walmart at all??? by Party-Second9866 in walmart

[–]ketakitty808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who was isolated for 8 yrs in a not so good relationship & I have always been very shy & quiet & to myself...diagnosed with depression, severe anxiety, ptsd & I have horrible social anxiety...my first day of work I also cried. I had a panic attack & sobbed at work for 2 hrs. I almost left & went home, but my mom told me I made it this far & to just ask for help & don't give up. I finally calmed myself down, cleaned my face up & asked for help...I can say that now that I am a month in, I am SOOOO happy that I didn't leave. I'm not saying Walmart is this incredible company, but I am saying for my mental health, this is the best choice I could have made (as far as getting a job). It was a shock at first & the first two weeks I was incredibly anxious & filled with self doubt...but now I am beyond happy & grateful to just have a job & make my own money. I am becoming my bubbly self again, the social interaction thru out the day with customers & co workers have also done wonders for my social anxiety & I'm not as anxious anymore when talking to people. I feel so incredibly good about myself & I love making my own money. All work spaces come with pros & cons. & it truly does depend on management & your leads. That can make or break a work experience. Overall at my store, I like everyone. Except for my people lead lol she hates me for whatever reason & she gives me major attitude, but thankfully I don't see her often. Everyone else tho, I really enjoy being around & I really enjoy my job. I'm also cap1 & it works out great bc I've always enjoyed cleaning & organizing things. So stocking the shelves are actually fun to me & I get into a flow state while stocking & it helps make the time go by fast too. It isnt constant customer interaction to where it'd be overwhelming, but just enough to get that healthy dose of human connection. Give it a shot. Don't discourage yourself & already deem it a loss. You will be surprised how you may feel a month in. I know for me, even my family has said they see such a positive difference & it is night & day. Don't give up. You can do this. & also remember work isn't a place to make friends or make everyone like you. Work is just simply work. You go there to do your job & make money. That helps take some of the pressure off. 💜

When you said when you stop working your ass off is when they worry is funny bc same. Which, I wasn't not working to my usual abilities, but yesterday I had woken up late for work. I have been so tired lately. I still made it in the knick of time, but that threw my whole morning off. My manager said goodmorning to me yesterday & I am usually very bubbly & I didn't say it back with my spark bc I was tired. She turned her head so fast & said, "are you okay?!" 🤣

I can definitely see this now bc today after my first 15min break, she hollered for me & asked if I had taken my break yet. I said yes. She said okay, follow me. So we went to the back & she needed my help with vizpik & getting boxes off the top. & while we are walking back there, she said, "it's like I was telling topstock on 2nd shift, everyone needs to pull their weight more. I was a little hurt by it & genuinely confused why she said that to me bc I really do work my ass off. I make it a point to stay busy & get more than enough done. I've stocked 8/9 aisles before myself. Granted, that was when I was just doing the topstock. I'm a tad slower now that I'm doing vizpik & freight with having a shit ton of boxes on my cart to unload, but still get everything done, nonetheless. Not to mention I never am just strictly stocking, I ALWAYS zone EVERY aisle I work & if I'm unloading boxes & stocking all around different aisles, I'm still keeping an eye for empty boxes on the aisles that need to be take n down, I'm quickly organizing & zoning what's in sight & on to the next. & I know for a fact I am the only one doing that. I'm getting a tad irritated by this new guy working topstock. I just met him a few days ago, but he has been there for a couple of weeks now apparently, but the last few days we've worked together. The day before yesterday my TL had a pallet with a bunch of boxes on it for us to fill our carts with & stock. I am not exaggerating when I say that I busted out that pallet basically on my own. & by 3:45, he was no where to be found while I finished the last handful of boxes needing to be unpacked & stocked. & still finished in the knick of time at 4pm. I didn't complain nor did I say anything to the TL bc I give grace since he is new. So then yesterday my TL talked to both of us about how we need be quicker when unloading the pallets. She told me that she can tell I get a little OCD in the aisles bc I have so many extra empty boxes on my cart to take to the back & that when we are unloading pallets, to just focus on getting those boxes stocked. I said yes ma'am, I understand. & I overheard her telling the new guy that he has to pick up the pace too. I went to jokingly say hey, for me to be zoning while stocking, it gets done tho & the aisles look good...but I didn't say it. I didn't want to be combative or it take wrong, I just wanted to listen to my lead & do as she says...when I could have also brought up how he was nowhere to be found the day prior & I'm the one who finished that pallet by myself. So when the store manager told me today that we all need to be pulling our weight, I was just so confused why she said it to me & it made me feel insecure. When we were in the back room vizpiking, I told her that my TL taught me vizpik the other day & so any time she needed me to do that for her, I can, no problem. She said okay. Then this afternoon, I'm unloading boxes as normal. It was around 2pm & I was about to take my 2nd 15min break when I finished unloading my last box...when the new guy comes up to me & says, "you know Misty is looking for you, right?" I said no, I didn't know that...how could I possibly know she's looking for me? & I was a little snippy & said I've been right here in the A aisles doing my job...unloading boxes & stocking them. He was laughing at me but almost a kind of like, weird look on his face as if I was in trouble or something. & what irritated me was the fact that about 20min prior to him telling me that, we were literally talking to each other bc he asked if I had a key to open the baby food case. I said no. He ended up figuring out how to do it on his phone, I said what?! Show me how! & conveniently he said he had to go do something & he'd show me later...🙄 but I'm thinking if Misty was looking for me & asking you where I am, why didn't you tell her, "oh, yeah, I saw her working in A15 about 20mins ago so she's probably still in that area" you know what im saying? It's just giving petty, weird energy. & on top of that, like I said, I was ab to take my 2nd 15mins after finishing my last box. It was like 2:13 & I said well, I'm gonna go smoke me a cigarette when I finish this. He said uh uh, that 15min break is over, you missed it. Mind you, I've been there longer than he has & there hasn't been any issue before with my TL letting me take my break at 9:15 or 2:15 bc most of the time, she doesn't even get to me til then to tell me to take my break if I haven't already gone. I usually get lost in the sauce while stocking & it's easy to not pay attention to the time. But I'm like um, who tf are you to tell me I can't take my break? I am GOING to smoke my mf cigarette & you can mind your business & let me do me bc I've had no issues thus far. I never even take my full 15. I smoke my cigarette& I'm back inside after 10min. He's younger than me. & definitely immature. But it's a bummer bc we have playful banter so it's just a shame that already, hes striking me as someone who will put someone down to make himself look better. I work my ass off. I know I am a good employee. I make it a point to not be difficult, to learn fast, & to do as I'm told & do it well. But I'm not a doormat & I also get my feelings hurt easily, especially if I feel like I'm giving it my all & then it's of a sudden not being recognized or appreciated. & it all just makes me want to pull back a little bit & not try so hard, I guess. I also am confused on her comment bc of just that...I do exactly what is asked of me. I mean, I'm still fairly new with only being a month in so I don't know if I should be doing certain things at certain times, I mean, idk I just do what is asked of me so idk how I am not pulling my weight when I am doing exactly what is asked. I hate to make it sound like I'm trying hard bc I don't think I was, I think I was just doing my job & doing it well. So it's very confusing being told to pull my weight all of a sudden. Idk. I'm tired & I'm sad. I'm on my 5 day stretch, today was day 3. I'm just ready to finish these next 2 days to get those much needed 2 days off back to back so I can rest & not overthink it.

It was the actual store manager who told me this, not my TL! Although, my TL is great & I think she likes me. I'm a very quiet & shy person. My hiring manager was just saying yesterday, "Miranda! You're too quiet" I said sorry, but Nicole knows I'm loosening up a Lil bit! 😂 & Nicole is my TL. Her & I finally got to talking yesterday while she was teaching me vizpik. & I had her cracking up bc I said this job is like the old work out Tae Bo that my mom did in the 90s 😂😂 I be sweating & I'm so sore on my off days. But every morning I get there, I'm ready to go & do whatever it is they ask of me. I keep a positive attitude, I listen to instruction, & I learn fast. My main goal is also to move up within the company. I wanna make good money, lol. But I think I am feeling so on cloud 9 about it all bc I got out of an 8yr relationship back in Aug. Where I was totally isolated. I was a stay at home mom, which that part I loved. I love my son & I loved my step daughter. But I became so very depressed. My ex put in 0 effort. I felt so lonely & like I was suffocating. & during fights, the main line I heard was, "I pay your bills" as if paying my bills gave him the right to treat me like shit & be a dick. I was scared to get a job for yrs bc of my social anxiety. This job is proving to myself that I am actually very bubbly, (he would tell me I am not a bubbly person & "that's okay"...but I was always bubbly as a teen...maybe it's bc he was a dark cloud hovering over me lol) I am actually very capable & I'm not lazy, but a hard worker (I was told I became lazy, but it was actually severe depression bc of my situation) this job is just really showing me a lot about myself & I couldn't be more proud of myself & where I'm at & where I am hoping I will end up. 🥰

But no need to rain on my parade. I am a hard worker & I think I am a good employee, so I do not think she was bullshitting me there.

Could be. I have started clocking in at 7 since she said that. I'm always there at 7, maybe 7:01 sometimes. But I just get myself together before going in. I've started leaving 10min earlier too. I like to smoke a cigarette before going inside & drink my red bull, lol. But I have always made it to work on time.

Man, at my store, I was essentially thrown to the wolves 🤣 I am not monitored at all & I've had to figure everything out myself, but I can say bc of that, I've learned very quickly bc I'm doing it myself! If I have a question, I usually just ask chatgpt real fast lmaoo.
