How do we get the air conditioner turned on in our store? Also, how do we turn the music down and the instore pages turned up? Music is extremely loud and you cant even hear in store announcements for customer service.

I think The team leads and couches and management at my store take to much time off.They are suppose ti be on the click 24/7 But if something happens they get pi^^^d if you call them after they leave.I know they have other responsibilitys but a lot of them won't even pitch in and help out.They play favorites we work short on weekends because they let all there favorites have off.

changing schedule at the last minute, after it has been handled out. People has other things to do like going to doctors or other appointment

So this lady rolls up to the countr clutching her sour half and half like it personally wronged her family... "I have a returnnnnnnn. 🙄. My half and half was really sour, the flavor wasn't good, and I have another one here to replace it with." Simple enough, right? I say take the new one, problem solved. But no. This woman needs her $1.85 back like it's her retirement fund. "But what about the money bck?!" I'm thinking this is some "twice is nice" situation - you know, when your strawberry doesn't taste strawberry enough so corporate assumes you want to try blueberry instead. Then she drops the real kicker: "Well what if I get the fat-free half and half??" At this point my internal monologue is screaming "Jesus lady you don't want to accept defeat." So I call the mgr over on the walkie, right in front of her, just to make a point. Same answer - take the new one and move on. All this drama over $1.85 worth of liquid fat. My advice? Take the new one, be happy, and go away. And that's how Sunday funday retail shifts end - counting down to freedom while dealing with people who will fight to the death over less than two bucks. What would I do? Same thing I did - give them the replacement and pray they don't come back next week with another crisis.RetryClaude can make mistakes. Please double-check responses.

But there is a major layoff happening in different technology groups at Walmart. Now, I'll speak for all of us here in stores as I am sure we all have the same request. Please lay off the person that's in charge of AC as it's way too hot in my store.

How hours you have to work to get 1 hour of ppto as a full time sales associate been with the company 24 years,

I keep reading and hearing about this and it seems to be very beneficial to those who keep good relations with their managers. So I might as well join the party right? How can I get my TL and coach to like me? Any advice?

Today it was in the mid 80s and 95% humidity. When I walked in I swear the heater was on! I'm in OPG so I'm pretty active all day. There is nothing more miserable than sweat running down your back! Please turn the AC on!

I’ve been a department manager for years over TLE, (automotive). When my title changed to team lead a couple years ago, I did not get a pay increase like the others did in 2020, when team lead became active for the first time. But if I were to step down due to family issues I’ll lose 10% in pay. A pay I didn’t not receive to be a team lead. How is that fair? When I became department manager years and years ago I may of received $1 to $1.50 . It's been so long ago, I don't remember. But it definitely wasn't $2. I understand losing some pay due to less responsibilities but I didn’t receive the $2 raise like other DM’s did to step up to become TL’s. I have many many years as department manager and team lead experience. I will still bring my experience with me in any position I do. But I don’t think I should lose nearly $3 an hour. I don’t think it was fair they just changed my title from DM to TL with no pay increase.

I'm a cart pusher and I just gave my 2 week notice because I'm done with this job. There is no easy part of being a cart pusher. You bust your a^s off and collect all the carts and help ungrateful people in this cold weather and it's also the same for summer too, you don't do it in cold weather but it's not easy to work in a summer heat. So if anyone reading this to fill out a walmart application for a cart pusher position, please don't.

a lot of people who’ve worked there for years 🗓️ are having their hours ⏰ cut, even though they’re full-time and have been super loyal to the company 🏢...

some stores are still hiring 👥 and giving people full hours ⏳, but in other places, people who’ve worked there for 10+ years are only getting like 20 hours a week 😤, even though they’re supposed to be full-time.

a lot of associates feel like walmart doesn’t care about them 😔 and is just focused on making sure the managers get their bonuses 💰. it's like the higher-ups care more about saving money 💵 than making sure their workers can pay their bills 💸.

and it’s not just a random thing 🤷‍♀️ - people are saying this happens a lot when business is slow, like in september 🍂. but then during the holidays 🎄🎅, they’ll probably be begging for extra help. it's super frustrating 😫 because people need consistent hours all year, not just for a couple of months 🗓️.

some people are trying to open up their availability 📅 or switch departments 🚪 to get more hours, but that doesn't always work 🙄. others are talking about having to get a second job 😩 or even file for unemployment 📉 because their hours got cut so bad. imagine working somewhere for years 🏆 and then suddenly barely getting any hours! 😡

it really su^ks that associates feel like they’re replaceable 😓 and not valued, especially in such a big company 🏬. a lot of people in this group were saying it’s not fair 😠, and it is making them want to quit or find something else as I know many are looking 👀. it’s tough because at the end of the day people just want to be treated fairly ⚖️ and have a steady paycheck 💵 it's as simple as that

so yeah, if you're working at walmart (or any other retailer for that matter)... i hope things get better for you soon 🙏. it seems like retail is always a rollercoaster 🎢 with hours, but people deserve more respect ✊

especially when they’ve put in years of work! 💪🎉
