Let's talk about things at work!
Relo Memo by Donna Morris (CPO)
There you go, a memo by Donna and no more remote work - it's chaotic and many folks are panicking... Here is the full memo: >It has been a little over four years since we faced the global pandemic that reshaped our lives in many ways, including our ways of working. In February 2022, we made the decision to bring Home Office associates back into our campus offices. We believe that being together, in person, makes us better and helps us to collaborate, innovate and move even faster. We also believe it helps strengthen our culture as well as grow and develop our associates. >With the goal of bringing more of us together more often, we are asking the majority of associates working remotely, and the majority of associates within our offices in Dallas, Atlanta, and our Toronto Global Tech office, to relocate. Most relocations will be to our Home Office in Bentonville, but some will be to our offices in the San Francisco Bay Area or Hoboken/New York. >In addition, some parts of our business have made changes that will result in a reduction of several hundred campus roles. While the overall numbers are small in percentage, we are focused on supporting each of our associates affected by these changes. >We have had discussions with associates who were directly impacted by these decisions. We will work closely with them in the coming days and months to navigate the best path forward.
Getting rid of "bad performers" who are anything but
I'm wondering, I'm no longer at Walmart but it'd be nice to know if the company is still getting rid of people like they did last year for supposedly being bad performers when they just wanted an excuse to cut a bunch of us after raising pay without paying us severance? (And yes, I was one of those who were cut in that way and I'm still pi^^^d about it.)
Lazy management
I'm not sure about other clubs, but I'm getting tired of doing all the work as a TL while they do absolutely nothing. Pick any time of the day and you won't be able to find a single one of them where they're supposed to be. I've been dealing with this for a full year and I'm about to throw in the towel. If I got rewarded for my work, that would be one thing. But doing their jobs in addition to my own and getting paid the same gets old really quickly.
Are they completely eliminating Associate Merchants??
So many were let go yesterday, that it makes me wonder if that's the end goal here.

Having trouble coping

What can I expect after applying online?

Is Walmart a dream ki^ler?
I've been working at Walmart for 7 months and I kinda think that this place is specifically designed for you to feel exhausted about everything. Especially about your dreams. "I'm just a cashier at ... [open entire post]
Time to move on
After a solid few decades in the Walmart trenches, I've decided to make a break for it. I dropped my two weeks' notice last week, and now I'm gearing up for a whole new adventure elsewhere. ... [open entire post]

Message to Mgmt. - stop tolerating people who don't give a damn about their jobs
It's clear to see that some of these employees have no interest in their jobs. They intentionally mess things up because they refuse to be told what to do. Be direct with these people. If they can't ... [open entire post]
reduced hours problem
Things got a bit sideways lately it’s so hard to get hours now, people are quitting, we are short on people but we still do not get hours. Many of us have been hired as full time hourly, but we are getting under 30 hours all the time, some people get as low as 8 hours. Not sure if this is some kind of management technique to get rid of people but that will happen anyway as people have bills to pay and 8 hours aint gonna cut it. The game will continue and the higher-ups will keep squeezing those of us who landed full-time gigs during ‘covid’, making us take the hit or bounce. Had a chat with my store manager about it, and all I was getting was the classic shrug-off and ‘do not worry about it’ what a douche but I knew it already. It’s extremely frustrating especially after sticking it out through the pandemic facing all that risk and stress only to be told by the trillion dollar company out there that they "can't afford" to give the hours we were promised when we signed up to be full time. Lies. The businesses in my region are doing well maybe it’s time to pack up and leave, I think this should not be tolerated.

I ruined a birthday party
This one is new, even for me. Someone out there thinks I single-handedly destroyed their birthday party. How? Well, by not being able to magically summon a specific racing car bed that they ordered ... [open entire post]
