New scheduling

This new scheduling they started doing is a joke. Now I hear TLs are going to be doing time off requests. I see that going well. More favoritism.

How many people here have given up on their dreams?

I read someone’s post that I find somewhat offensive about Walmart being staffed by people who are failures in life. I do not think so. Far from it, people do their job diligently and honestly and no one should see anything wrong with that. We cannot... — read more 

Can it function without full time employees?

Does anyone know or have any idea what the percentage of full time associates is here now in relation to the total number of employees? It is very clear that Walmart is trying to get rid of full time employees by all means but I can't imagine how a... — read more 

Walmart is TOXIC.

Management treats employees like trash. Walmart doesn’t value loyalty and everyone is just a number. Year after year they just take more from employees. Come up with ridiculous bu-----t scheduling to get people out the door. A 15 year associate was... — read more 

When you just started looking for a job...

Did you know that it will be this hard here back when you were just applying for a job? I didn’t have high expectations because I assumed the job wouldn’t be easy, but I didn’t even dare to think that they treated people below any human dignity. When... — read more 

So happy

Quit after 10 years. Found another job making so much more money. Wish I would have left sooner but people become comfortable in a routine so they don’t look elsewhere but I noticed year after year the company continues to get worse. The final nail... — read more 

You need to be careful

Walmart is not a solid long term choice for employment. And, there really are other options out there. People live, eat and breath Walmart -- and then don't have time for anything else. The stress levels and demands are all soul consuming. Be careful... — read more 

This place destroys people's self-confidence!

I have a friend who worked hard on herself and expanded her skillset, but no matter what, she was reluctant to start looking for a new job because she already thought in advance that she wouldn't get it. She thought Walmart was all she could get and... — read more 

Where is your human decency?

I’ve worked in grocery all my adult life and I have met many managers not worth their salt. The store I am at has a team of them that lack decency and seem to enjoy making life miserable for everyone else. Instead of giving constructive criticism... — read more 

Most unrealistic expectations?

Does anyone have a good story to share about the real situation in which a goal was put in front of you that is by no means realistic to fulfill? As for me, the worst is multitasking. Even though in the two years I’ve become a “multitasking expert”... — read more 

Vision Center hours

There has been conflicting reports that the Vision Centers will be open 9-8 mon-fri, 9-7 sat and 11-4 Sunday starting in July. Has anyone else been told this and if so, is it company wide? We are all so short handed, especially in licensed states... — read more 

Claim Supervisor doesn't get myshare bonus anymore

Have any claim supervisor's been told anything about the Myshare bonus? My store qualified for a $700 bonus but I didn't get one. My PL said claim supervisor doesn't get one anymore. WTF!!! They have really s*rewd us over this past year. No big... — read more 

Revolving door

I can’t understand why we aren’t able to keep new hires. They last a few weeks and are never heard from again. The longest I’ve seen a new hire last is roughly 2 months. Not sure what the problem is but with a pandemic slowing down I thought we’d be... — read more 

Chain gang

People on this site often use the term “ worked to the bone” and describe their daily chores as extremely hard physical labor with a sprinkling of mental abuse... Can someone please give a detailed example of this daily “torture session?” People are... — read more 

Was it worth it?

I’ve been working at my location for about 5 years. In that time most of the old timers were either laid off or quit. Everything at my store is chaotic and has been for a while now. I want to transfer but I’m not sure if it’s a good move to make. Has... — read more 

Any update on working from home?

Got the email today where they said some vague information about us not being scored on how much we are in the office, but it also said the higher ups believe we work better together. Anyone hear anything about us being able to keep working from home... — read more

Constant criticism and feeling miserable

I wonder if I would be less valued and more humiliated working at any other company in this industry? I do not think so. I work hard like never before, and yet it is never enough for them, I always hear criticism, there are always demands to work... — read more 

Team leads to cover everything?

I have heard about this and I believe that is the plan, however, I do not believe that they will be able to realize that plan: Latest rumor is walmart plans to reduce salary managers againover the course of the next few years. They're training... — read more 

2week notice

Give two week notice or not? Been treated very poorly and after almost 10 years had enough. Got a job offer elsewhere.

Great News, again!

Walmart continues to grow thanks to the pandemic and stimulus checks. Walmart shelves might be empty but the vault is full of cash. https://abcnews.go.com/Business/wireStory/walmart-blows-past-expectations-quarter-77752449

Schedules

Someone told me the coaches are loosing the ability to do schedules but the frontend coach will still have access is this true.

$75 for taking Vaccine

Tuesday May 18 the company will add $75 to your check for taking the "vaccine". You will no longer have to wear the mask if your city doesn't require it after being vaccinated.

Things can only go downhill

The new scheduling is a disgrace and a great humiliation for all the people who have been loyal to this company for years. I understand that the logic behind everything is for everyone to be a part of it and for the company to avoid paying benefits... — read more 

Positive attitude

How do you keep it? I find that very difficult. Any positive attitude disappears as soon as I get to work. It is simply very difficult to think positively in an environment like this. Sometimes I try to have little fun with my coworkers, to make... — read more 

Depends on your management

I keep reading how horrible some stores are. Our store has managers that care about their employees and actually encourage growth and advancement. The atmosphere is wonderful and we enjoy coming into work. I know other stores are not the same. I feel... — read more 

Breaking point

I have never felt so much stress and unhappiness as I have in the last few years, yet I am still here until I can find something much better. Sometimes I find it difficult to deal with it all. I work my fingers to the bone the minute I clock in until... — read more

How long do people work for Walmart on average?

I started looking for a new job. I've been here for 5 years and I already think it's too much time spent in a place like this. Some have been here longer than me, I know, but I know of some cases where people haven’t stayed here even a month. How... — read more 

What a joke

It’s funny how we do a restructuring that will give us the same results if anything worse results then before. It’s gotten so petty to the point they are requiring associates to wear polos under their vest. On top of that the managers aren’t taking... — read more

Dress code

Walmart is going to be giving polos to workers. I hate polos. I hope it’s not going to be mandatory for now it says optional.

What would help get you motivated?

I lost all my motivation to work here. I used to work to pay bills, but now that’s not a big motivation for me either, since now I can barely pay my bills. Realistically, it is not possible to expect a bigger raise, but at least a better atmosphere... — read more
