The longer this forum exists, the more absurd and fantastical the predictions and theories and so-called 'absolute facts!!' have become. What's funny is how all these Great Prohets of Doom (of which I believe are the same 1--2 people, probably fired... — read more 

I am a 9+ year employee, 3 year assistant, over 50 who just received a "development needed" rating which is a death sentence. It IS happening. Sadly, nothing about me, my productivity or quality of work has changed. I received good to excellent... — read more

Mr. Sam must be rolling in his grave!!!! Is showing up two work everyday not good enough anymore?? Now I actually have to be productive in order to have job security? What is this company coming too?

I have spoken to a large number of Co managers who were not given and still do not know the answer to this. When the co manager cuts occurred last year, the ones that made the cut were told they only had 18 months to promote. The issue is that no... — read more 

I wish they would go ahead and tell us the changes so we can be prepared when they come down and change our jobs

They are cutting people (and will continue to do so) due to their insane push to beat amazon. They have to make up for the lack of margin in e-commerce somewhere. Mark my words, this foolish pursuit of online sales will sink this company and amazon... — read more 

Everybody is worried about cuts and hours, but what I'm really worried about is that we might be looking at more store closings very soon. One manager recently transferred from my store and another quit after finding a new job, and I remember... — read more 

Why was the post about joining a union removed? Is this site run by Wal Mart?

For Walmart associates who have had their hours cut, please be mindful that you may be eligible to file for unemployment benefits even while still working for the company. Basically your reduction in hours must not be the result of a disciplinary... — read more

If Assistant Managers info is true, what is next? Where will Walmart stop in its "cost cutting" that ends up always being at the expense of employees (and as a result customers, who receive sub-par service?) Nothing is too big to fail, I really hope... — read more

WM has in fact been laying off those with 20+ years along with a few sprinkles of 13-15 year Associates thrown in for good measure at HO for the past 6 years. It’s called getting rid of expenses. Cuts in the field have been more target to positions &... — read more 

Wal-Mart is already stretching everyone so thin, putting more,and more on the hourly associate, and demanding more,and more out of the Management Team because they want to run the store on a sceloton crew. Every Day I see the Management Team having... — read more

Have anyone heard of any changes coming in 2019? Listed below

Heard this rumor today. In Feb 2019 will be the last PTO payout for unused hours. After that, it's use 'em or lose 'em. Anyone else heard this?

think we all can agree that retail should never have been a long term career option. The real issue here is that Walmart has somehow amassed into this country's largest job provider----I mean, you don't really need to take a poll to know that... — read more 

So for a good time assistant managers were approving lates if there was a legit excuse like car issues, told to clock in late, or shift not switched before the previous day. But recently some associates have had half points put back on.. are managers... — read more 

heard Doug announced in a meeting that WM was no longer and should not be planned on being a career job as it had been in the past. Sounds like loyalty is one way. Wake up.

I keep hanging on in hopes of getting something, but getting tired of putting up with all the C-ap and id--ts just for a few bucks?

People are not getting fired based on their availability to work. They are not getting hours if there are not demand hours in the system when they are available to work, but not fired. That’s false. In fact company direction is to not do that. If a... — read more

I heard a rumor at first that Walmart was gonna buyout 20 plus year associates. I am now hearing its 10 plus years. Which if all is it true? I have been with Walmart for 14 years. Just curious. Also heard alot of changes but don't know what they are.

Why do u think that is people

Isn't that what Walmart said? And yet, instead of giving us more hours, we got three more employees last month. What is that all about? They might not be officially seasonal, but I wouldn't be surprised to see them gone very soon. I guess Walmart is... — read more
