Are there any APMs AP ASMs out there that also think 4% raise is a joke? The coaches start out higher than us. The leads aren’t far behind us in pay. Yet the amount of responsibility, expectations and pressure we get is astronomical.

Massive pullout on west coast
Walmart sr leadership is producing a midterm strategy to reduce stores by half in Washington, California, and Seattle. The overall goal is to pull back expansion for a minimum of 3 years due to the rioting. Surprise. Surprise.
Oct 1 call ins
Interesting that this policy change comes with GWP-Workday. You need people there not calling in to make it work. you have to eliminate social distancing to work in a team. Coronasvirus coming back in round two. Layoffs and not enough people.
Don't be fooled by the raises talk
Don't let this story fool you into thinking Walmart is doing something overly good. There will be a LOT of hourly employees losing their positions and forced into lower paying roles. Some will have the possibility of severance. Salary roles are being... — read more
Raises
So bakery and deli get a raise to 15.... what about the rest of us? Been there 8 years still not even at 12. I guess everyone else doesn’t matter.
Boycott Walmart
Stores are trying to force workers to have open availability. They are reposting your jobs and making you reapply with open availability. Definitely don't apply, make them fire you so they have to pay your unemployment. Furthermore, if you stay they... — read more

Attendance returning
As of yesterday we have a sign at the time clocks and health desk about attendance returning on October 1. Is anyone else seeing it in their stores? I think this is great news.
Call out points
Is it true these points being waived are going to come back when the attendance system gets turned back on next year from calling out during the pandemic?
Walmart Fayetteville AR, is going 100% self checkout and eliminating cashiers.
If this test works out well they may expand it nationally. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_a5Y2F8UwQ
Extension on waiving points
Does anyone know if they are extending the waiving of points for month of September ?
Not so appetizing?
Just read a very smart analysis on reasons why Walmart's grocery shares are rising slower than those of our rivals. I would say that losing a piece of the pie in groceries has also something to do with our management who couldn't care less about our... — read more
New Structure
Anyone have any details on new store structure under Teaming for stores that haven't gone thru GWP yet? My SM was talking about it and mentioned our MHRM was telling him she had a new structure that was about to roll out and knew we would be losing... — read more

Gold Badge
If you have a gold badge you're on borrowed time. People who get "too expensive" get "restructured" and backfilled with new hires with dramatically less experience and fewer skills, but who are much cheaper, or their workload gets shifted onto... — read more

Buyers should pay attention
I keep hearing that there will be more cuts at home office. If you are in merchandising and haven’t seen the writing on the wall, you are an id–t. First they cut buyer time in chair bonuses. Then they forced merchandising/merch support to stay... — read more

Non covid-19 related layoffs at Walmart
So here's the question I have there are many companies that are doing layoffs but they are primarily related to covid-19. Walmart is laying off people in a pandemic while they're sales are absolutely through the roof because people for a while... — read more

MIP for those laid off
What is Walmart doing with MIP's for those displaced? Are they allowing you to keep what is not vested?
Christmas in September
Was told today that when the Christmas season starts hours are going to a rotating schedule. Two days off in a row with every seventh week you get Sat and Sun off. Doesn't apply to part timers or seasonal hires.
Those who were not in this round of layoffs are also affected
For those of us who watched in horror as their entire team was cut, Walmart has still found a way to screw us. I lost 7 team members, only to be asked to change my role (unofficially, of course) from a manager to an individual contributor and do the... — read more
Walmart Hired Thanos
I work in Bentonville HO, and so far everyone I have talked to (especially in Merchandising) saw half of their team let go. This is oddly similar to Thanos’s Snapture. So either 1) Walmart hired Thanos, or 2) John had great inspiration from Avengers... — read more
APPEARS LAYOFFS WILL AFFECT THOUSANDS
