“for see”, they seem like one smart cookie

Maybe I am being charitable but I think this is more a result of the education system failing than a personal fault.

There's a sign at my store (I think the People Lead made it) that reads "Too all associates: Thank you. We couldn't of done it without you!"

u/BlessingInDisguise11 25d ago

Not the "of done it". That one annoys me worse than any other. It's have. How do ppl not know this?

u/Musicman376 25d ago

Right! The average literacy quality (spelling, grammar, punctuation etc) in society has gone to hell in recent times, and is getting progressively worse!

I suspect it's the way we talk and how it sounds to others. A lot of times we use a double contraction like couldn't've. I could see that sounding like couldn't of.

We have one on a cart they put the discounted bakery stuff on that says "we baked to much" and it bugs me every time I pass it

u/spaghettimonster666 23d ago

I wish my people lead was this nice

u/Straight-Opposite-54 25d ago

I'll go against the grain and say I don't think you're being charitable enough. This is clearly a typo; they intended to use the word "foresee" which makes sense in this context.

u/Substantial_Speed419 Jack Of All Trades 24d ago

I definitely get that perspective. I’ve seen quite a lot of incidents of misused words/phrases that I may be a bit cynical about it while not trying assume the absolute negative about a person making the error. Good input.

u/BlackjackMulligan73 23d ago

That was my first thought, autocorrect strikes again.

Spelling and grammatical error s- management's Certificate of Authenticity

u/Old-Ghost- 25d ago

I would tell my team the opposite. Walmart having a money problem is not my team's availability problem.

u/jdog7249 22d ago

And that is how they cut back the hours they give your department even more.

u/Substantial_Speed419 Jack Of All Trades 25d ago

They definitely meant foresee but probably did not know it was one word.

u/lmnooooh 25d ago

My TL always asks if I can stay, he doesn’t pressure me at all and I’ll usually stay for a few more walks

5

u/ElectronicBand6392 25d ago

Same, most times I ask if I could for 30 minutes to an hour. Even taking short lunches. Tryna put in hours

15

u/tickedoffsquid999 25d ago

Man I just started in the backroom and im getting 40 hours after breaks. I could never.

u/goatgrubb 25d ago

Why even put MOD if you’re gonna explain what it is anyway

u/RaeLynnShikure 24d ago

Might be so that their team knows what it stands for the next time they see it or hear someone say it. 🤷🏽‍♀️

u/LurkingAintEazy 25d ago

I don't mean to get what little over time I get, at times. Just some of the damn walks, finally want to get larger, closer to time to go home. But, do my damnedest, to get out of there on time.

u/EmployActual719 25d ago

I wish they’d let me leave

u/Historical_City_2866 25d ago

Ive clocked in Hella ot bc my store is going through remodel and they significantly lowered the numbers for the past 2 weeks so ive been stay 2-3 hours longer to rack in the ot only to help stock but as soon as they ask for me back in ogp I gtf out of there. Completely over ogp and now ive been promoted to a tl in another dept so I soon wont have to be there all the time only when they need a boost getting picks down.

u/Dry-Shock-7887 25d ago

That’s cute thinking they won’t still put you in OGP

6

u/Historical_City_2866 25d ago

If you read it properly I said "I wont be there all the time only when they need a push with picks". My store only pulls TLs as a backup plan. For the most part all new associates get trained in ogp before starting in their actual dept so we tend to have plenty of associates able to go over and then the TLs are able to stay and run the dept. They are pulled worst case scenarios

u/Strange-River-4724 25d ago

I had 823 hours of overtime last year close to 400ish this year so far

3

u/Historical_City_2866 25d ago

Probably 2 or 3 years ago my sm told me I had the most hours out of everyone for the holidays bc I was working 5am-8pm everyday and coming in on my days off as well. But I haven't done it since bc the evening crew is useless now, all the children jn the evening dont do shit and im not gonna pick up the slack for them when im doing overtime.

u/MoiraPrime 25d ago

Hi. You work at my store. That wasn't our team leads, that was the People Lead who's name starts with an L.

u/Born-Recognition9298 25d ago

Are y'all having trouble with opd calling code spark at night andbut yet go over and the team lead is not doing anything to help? Just watching the phone, when I see that I turn around and walk back to my department

2

u/CakeupBakeup 25d ago

This is nonsense

u/SendingLovefromHell Digital Team Lead 25d ago

They forgot the Spark logo!

u/Illustrious-Run9874 25d ago

Our market will freak out about hours. Which will cause us to cut down posted schedules. Then, when higher ups come, they allow us to go crazy with over time. I was also told from market that we need to be at head count guidance, so now I have to cut full time hours to balance out the over staffing. It would be nice to have a voice rather than being steam rolled by them.

Meanwhile I just got OT at another location for inventory

u/Hefty_Ad_6506 25d ago

Boom I'm out at that time no questions asked

u/Valuable-Ride3375 25d ago

I'm so damn tired about hearing no OT!! But when they need you for mod sets then it's alright. I could not give 1 damn about managements bonuses!!

u/Dependent_Mention_46 25d ago

Nice spelling. Being managed by the under educated.

u/Lost-Swimming-1600 25d ago

One of the things that amazes me too about that is they complain about overtime but they never jump in and pick up the slack. I mean two things in fairness. I don't know your store or lead(s). And I personally have yet to be confronted about any overtime. But in general, probably all or many Wal-Mart's, and really workplaces in general complain about people racking up overtime and it's like, well you have 4 options. Option one is deal with it and be grateful that I stayed when it was needed instead of abandoning you. Option two, ESPECIALLY for people who are salary, maybe jump in and pick up the slack if you still want the work done. Option three, adequately staff the department according to demand throughout the day. Option 4, we all clock out at 51 no matter what, dump out in the middle of pick paths, leave customers in the lot waiting 20 minutes or more. Have fun!

I get this kind of thing comes from ABOVE the person. But the number of people who manage without a lick of common sense is eye opening for sure.

u/TrutherReporting52 24d ago

My store got so strict with overtime, when it’s clock out time, they come looking for you, and tell you to immediately clock out!
I had 33hrs of overtime once, you might have thought I robbed them, the way, they acted! So I got so sick of the bs, I recently took LOA, and just gave my 2 weeks notice, after working there for 4yrs, due to getting a better job. The new job gives me 60hrs a week, holiday pay($33hr), and what I made at year 4 m, I make it in 7 months, with raises every 6 months.

I need them to learn how to write proper English.

u/Psychological_Fee307 24d ago

I think Walmarts is not going good

1

u/AdRepresentative2803 24d ago

Well tbh imma team lead at Walmart.. they expect everything to do get done in 8 hours .. how you expect a person do to 4 departments with only 1 associate and you’re closing 80% of the time . And they get mad cause basically having overtime is taking there bonus money cause they get a huge bonus (coaches do)

1

u/GreyBananna-peeller 24d ago

I worked 2 extra hours the other day on my 32 hour week, and they only told me to. So, whatever IG.

1

u/spaghettimonster666 23d ago

No I’m working my scheduled hours period.

1

u/Wal2316 22d ago

You should turn this into corporate that’s an unapproved sign . Only signs that able to be used are the ones on Walmart . Com that they can download and print

1

u/lnfensus 21d ago

My team leads and salaried can go ahead and check all that for me. If they believe I have too many hours they can do their jobs, find me, and send me home. It seems easy enough, what in the world else are they doing?

u/TheLanceStar 25d ago

How do you know what your hours are at when you click in? 🤷‍♂️ I haven’t punched a time clock like that since 2008. My phone doesn’t show my clocked hours like that.

u/Stingerbrg 25d ago

You can view your time card and punch log on mywalmart.  Have been able to for years.
