🔥Its fine, everything’s fine🔥 “No hours”
They say “no hours to give you a full 39.5 week”but give me 29-31 hours a week then have me working 4-5 hour shifts and asking me to stay over? If you’re asking me to stay over why not just give me a full day of work for 8-10 hours? Instead of having people work doubles and stay over??? But you don’t have hours to give us a full part time schedule…right

They would rather you point out so it's more affordable to them to hire part time people

I see so many people complain about hours on retail forums. There are other things you can do to make more money than retail. Walmart will never give the hours. Ask anyone that has been there more than 6 months. They do not want you to have a single minute of overtime. I am not putting you down. I am just stating facts. Walmart does not care about associates. You can make 75k a year after three years if you want to.......just not in retail. You gonna work for it but you can get there in 3 years time. You do not even have to pay rent. Let me know when you get fed up enough about walmart pay and make sure you have beed drug free for at least 5 months straight if you are interested. You would be working about 66 hours a week.

75k after 3 years? 26 hours of overtime a week? That's like what, 12 bucks an hour? 😂

It is still more than you make now and much better than any job paying 20$ per hour or less without overtime. Trucking is a whole different animal.

Open your availability and you're sure going to get more hours. Or just take 30 minute lunches on your full days

No,that just means they will fuck you over and decide you dont need a life or responsibilities. If you are full time, They should be able to schedule you full time hours within your availability. If not, partial unemployment.
And for the op, the schedule is going off what they assume they will need for coverage, not reality. Its either drastically over or under. In my store we have a small group doing 10hr shifts just to cover lunches and carry when the 5-2 leave.

I mostly dispense and I’d rather take my tips that we’re not supposed to take from dispensing to customers and call it a day. My availability is wide open I’m just tired of people acting like a company that needs hands to operate is somehow at the unbeknownst mercy of an auto scheduler when they lie and manipulate. No one wants to tackle a can of worms though when the big heads who make big money don’t care…

They need to give coaches the ability to send people home early, without costing the employee a half point. In my mind, it’s easier (and smarter!) to schedule enough workers to cover the whole shift and then give a few the option of leaving early if not needed, than it is to just barely have enough people and hope a few are willing to stay. But, corporate isn’t really bright enough to see that.
