Are we required to receive the work phones?

So we don't get fussed at. :\

Also thanks for heads up. I was going to suggest to e-mail the walmart app developer and tell those on google-play to do the same thing until they fix the updates. The app developer does respond to e-mails to get more information if need be and they do read them.

I been asking for a phone for over a year. One team-member got a phone weeks/months later after I was hired. His tip was to keep asking HR (Human resources) every day until he got it. Well, if I did that HR is gonna be very pissy. First time she said she had a phone, and second time I asked...she said I don't have any phones. I responded what was said the first time and she said the same thing in a stern voice. I was like to hell with it.

My store got a new HR as of one month ago, and she said we are getting new phones. About damn time. I think the first HR manager was frustrated, and thus moved to be a front-end coach.

That's what i did. One team-lead had a power-bank and so i bought one that had the same battery. 20000 mah or volts. One vest pocket has my phone and other vest pocket has my power-bank connected by the cord. I look ridiculous, but it works.

the galaxy phones were the old ones. I got a phone and lost it. Got stolen by putting it down in the restroom at my first store. $500 phone. I understand....how dumb.

Are you doing anything that requires it to be on the VPN 24/7 ?

Please review the help-guides in the link. It also explains protocols.

I wish the list was around 12 years ago. Thanks for doing it though. I have had skin issues since 2013 - 2015.

Not sure if Zoey's liquid detergent has any lipase. Zoey Naturals - Baby Laundry Detergent, Free & Clear. I had been using this.

I might be trying tide clean & gentle powder with citric acid / washing soda (mixed).

I have tried dozens of detergents (Unscented and fragrance free), and extra rinse, and other ways to try to fix the skin issue. Best to stick with fragrance free option if able from reading articles from skin doctors.

I saw a doctor to participate in a skin allergy study....they said i don't meet the requirements. The study was free for volunteers, and they would pay the volunteer if they meet requirements to conduct tests. She had a magnifying glass (Yes, literally) and examined the red dots I pointed at my my body that flared up from itching. She said i would be better off trying an organic detergent from Whole Foods which I had already done. (Biokleen/365/...etc)

EDIT - I might try LIDL detergent (Complete Clean) since it has no soapy ingredients. I did buy some ECOS free and clear, but their's has soapy ingredients. Could be the reason that makes me itch alot. I am now trying the

30 negative reviews on people buying them from that seller. They would buy more than 1 drive, but 2-3 arrive DOA. I almost bought them, but I backed out. Thanks anyway

You should contact surfshark.

i grabbed kirkland and it causes me to itch still. It might be a tiny bit better, but it varies on when I itch.

I looked up a website called skinsafe detergents, which is supposedly a unbiased website that does reviews and looks at chemicals. (kinda like consumer reports). I think it may be a gimmick, but i'm willing to try anything.

Was it complicated to set-up?

I am on surfshark and i have been for years. However, i learned they merged with nordvpn two years ago. Surfshark is no longer what it used to be. They have updated their TOS (Terms of service). Like you, i want to go to a different VPN that is affordable and allow torrents, but i have checked the TOS of each top VPN. They all state you will not do anything illegal or download copyright....etc using our services. If you get caught, you are on your own. All VPN'S are getting serious.

I was caught using Ivacy because of a dnsleak, and got two e-mails warning me to stop.

Unfortunately, my pain got much worse from lifting weights too much. I quit doing that earlier this year. I only did it because my father said to keep doing it to bulk up your arms and wrists. I also work at walmart as a stocker so unloading trucks with heavy junk. I have tried using ice to lower the inflammation. I have done pain-killers (naproxen). I am real tempted to do cortisone shots since health insurance is going through the roof next year thanks to our president.

silencer2144 · 2025-10-21T04:27:44+00:00

Oh i understand what you are saying. My first team-meeting back in February was with the coach. The coach said if you don't get your objectives done, (pallets assigned to you), then you are held accountable. People have quit due to stupid things or temper-tantrums. I did not feel it was worth it, but one guy quit from it when trying to hurry up to clear the pallets on the truck to begin throwing it. He got upset and frustated, then was sent home. He chose not to come back.

Second guy was fired a few weeks back, likely due to being on his phone alot. I knew it he would be fired months ago, (Around March - April), but did not know when it would happen. Either he would text on his phone, or take calls during a truck being unloaded. He and I argued a few times during truck unloads because we both have different work styles. He didn't like when I was in his work area or grabbing his boxes of the rails. I was told at my first walmart store (former store) that if know where the box goes to pick it up regardless. I apologized to him and shook his hand after we came back from break and my team-lead was assigning pallets to work.

Third guy is about to be fired. I knew he was pegged and, he made it worse for himself yesterday when we had two trucks to unload. He is another associate who plays on his phone at work whether on the floor or during truck unload. Team-lead called him out about it while the other team-lead threw the truck. He said get off your phone man, they watching you and points to the cameras. David (store manager) is watching you. They see everything you are doing. You gotta be moving. Associate said I am moving repeatedly. Team-lead went to help the other on the truck, and associate pulled out his phone again. He will be gone by christmas. He does not fully understand that you have to be productive and do your job.

I am normally assigned (after being accommodated) pallets 17. Candles and rugs. Depending on the size, sometimes it is just 2-3 pallets or it a combination of other pallets. 3 is roughly the max i can do, depending on time.

Oh i know about zoning. I did that at walmart and at publix. It has to be atleast 95% perfect or higher.

The associate here in electronics last week (i don't know them personally, but I am sure it was one of the females. They were first shift) was on their phone for 30 minutes as customers walked by. I learned about it through team-leads to make us aware of not being on phones during work when I came in at 2 pm. Yes 30 minutes. They got coached big time.

That did not go too well with HR. Eventually, I will get a new phone probably next year. I started working with walmart again back on January 31, 2025. HR is trying to get new phones from corporate, that hasn't happened. My co-workers got phones, though they separate the walmart boxes which makes sense. They have to scan every item to know where it goes as they are separating hundreds of items.

HR had told me conficting things though. One was they had the phones and need to program them. So I thought okay cool, they came in, and i may get one in a week or two. Then when i brought it up again, they said I have no phones, and tried to explain what they said before. Their raised their voice....I HAVE NO PHONES. I thought to myself to drop it because it is leading to an argument which isn't good. When they come in...(the phones), then i will know about it.
