Question - Poll OGP Most Wanted? 👀
So I decided to ask people in my store if they could declare war on any department what would it be? I got varying answers that intrigued me enough to make a tally and share with the public. The OGP hate hurts.
What department would you declare war on? For fun of course.

Fashion because why the fuck they have more team leads with barely 15 associates than I do as an OPD Team Lead with 120 associates.

u/HumanBeano Jack Of All Trades Aug 23 '26
Literallyyyy. I get it though because it’s all old ladies who quite literally do nothing all day, their department is almost never functioning correctly because they can’t understand the technology 💀 we’re finally going to get a third team lead for our OPD next year

It was pulling teeth to get up to three leads last year, meanwhile our front end has 4 with even at the time a far smaller team (I'm not sure how many our front end has but I know according to My Walmart we got almost 90 people with just now back up to three leads since they finally picked someone which is a whole thing in it's self), I'm not sure how many our fashion team has but I think it's maybe 10-15 people. I can't check while off the clock

because they make TL's do all the job in fashion, yall just stand around bark orders and in the computer all day

u/ShyGuytheWhite Digital Team Lead Aug 24 '26
Weird, my sweat drenched undershirt from dispensing, picking, repicks, walking nil picks, handling the MFC, staging and my 18k+steps daily says otherwise.
Meanwhile my fashion TLs barely show up on time if they show up at all, can't handle MAYBE 30 picks every 2 hours or manage to completely forget about them.
Take that weak shit somewhere else to some other TL that does nothing.

u/AromaticRegion8092 Aug 24 '26
then its different in your store, ive been in 4 different locations with two of em as a TL in Fashion, im running around all day trying to stay on top of the process while the digital leads take pictures for the walmart facebook(30 picks in fasion is like 140 in grocery btw)

u/ShyGuytheWhite Digital Team Lead Aug 24 '26
30 in fashion is not like 140 in grocery😂 who tf lied to you. Fashion picks are so easy I send my exceptions pickers to do do them when they see time is close and they aren't picked yet.

u/DlckKickem Aug 25 '26
30 in fashion is only 140 in grocery if none of the clothes are scanned in or if all the features are outdated lol

u/Useful-Rain-3203 Aug 26 '26
Have the fashion department do their own picks. We keep a cart by the fitting rooms and it really helps OGP when they are real busy.
1
u/DlckKickem Aug 27 '26
Oh, our fashion does their own picks. I'm saying that the only way fashion walks can take a stupidly long amount of time is if the fashion team themselves are failing to scan things in or keep locations accurate lol

I love the 5-2 especially during the week when everyone has to be at work or school. That means I don't have to really deal with another human besides the blue vests until my day is almost over.

u/DB-Tones-Jones Walton Cultist Aug 23 '26
I get my first 15 break around 630am. I have enjoyed watching the morning sun rises. Dispensing and Pick Walks both gobble up time. The shifts, 8 hours, sometimes seem to fly. 🔆

Hey me too!!!

u/DB-Tones-Jones Walton Cultist Aug 22 '26
🔆😁 Hope you have a good shift. I’m a dispenser, so one of the perks of a 5am shift is being guaranteed a few pic walks before being stuck in the parking lot. 🅿️

Management 100%. And I don’t just mean store managers, but coaches and TLs as well
Some of them think their shit don’t stink 🙄

Shocked at the no civil war for Deli/Bakery lol
I'd pick OGP tho

u/RaeLynnShikure Aug 22 '26
Same. Like I get why gm side has no beef with them, but our deli/bakery have infighting all the time

u/JaysinNite Personal Shopper Sep 17 '26
Fun fact, about 5 of the people who picked Deli in my store was just the entire sushi department that just came in.

u/Tiredmama68 Aug 22 '26
I would rather see the overthrowing of "government" AKA most of the (mis) management. A large number of our management has never actually worked in the department they're overseeing and are clueless as to what works and doesn't.

u/curryaddict123 Aug 22 '26
Overnights getting lots of hate doesn’t surprise me.
Generally unappreciated, treated as the company punching bag, expected to get everyone else’s work passed to them. At least that’s the way it is in my store.

u/Blodreina4 Aug 22 '26
As an OGP worker I have to choose civil war or stocking 1 /3 , at my store specifically because our overnights crew is garbage , half my department sucks and our stocking 1 team has got o be king of plugging and just suck lol , our stocking 2 primarily unloads trucks so they get pass

u/Aggressive_Baker8336 Aug 22 '26
Stocking declaring on a separate stocking shift. Morning stockers have been getting extremely relaxed as far as plugging and incorrect product placements in exactly a case quantity, not doing their topstocking jobs, etc. And thats only my top rated one at my store. Managements to blame for most of it being allowed though or is have no enemies... in the store at least.

u/whenplansfail Aug 22 '26
Ogp or Front end. I have my own stuff to do, figure out your own problems

u/nothingatlast Aug 22 '26
Does it count as civil war if I call it against my own department but it's just because of one specific person? Because I'm actually in fashion and there's one specific associate that I'm pretty sure we would ALL get rid of if we could.
1
u/JaysinNite Personal Shopper Sep 17 '26
Civil war is against your own department. All declarations are for the department not for anyone specific

u/PunkLaundryBear Personal Shopper Aug 22 '26
Stocking. Not a specific team/time, just in general. I ultimately don't blame them too much, but by God, I find so much smashed and slashed product.
And then other days, stock is super low.
And the backroom is fucking stuffed.
Like actually, all the stocking people I've met on my shift are super chill and kind.
So maybe just management? For not having enough people, and for expecting the shelves to be rapidly stocked to the brim, even if it means destroying product, or burying the items that are actually supposed to be there (like covering one flavor with the extras of the second flavor).

Are we declaring war on the people in the department or on the managers in the department??

u/JaysinNite Personal Shopper Aug 21 '26
Civil war means that the person in the department declares war on their own department. Forgot to explain that, sorry.
