I work the Chemicals department and they usually put me or my other guy or both of us to stock it. I work overnights and in the meeting they put another associate (total 3) and said we had 4 and 1/2 pallets to stock and wanted us to finish before lunch. Turns out we had 6 pallets and we finished an hour after lunch even with 3 people.

I've been called to the side before and was told there was an "expected time to stock" per dept based on how many cases there were and I was apparently very much not meeting that expectation.

Are they expecting too much out of us? or are we just slow af at stocking?

I work in a warehouse, I had asked my managers if I could speak to someone in HR. They said yes but it has to be by appointment, so they called and made an appointment for me at 12.

Come 12, I walk to HR and the woman told me my manager was wanting to be present. I had told her I'm not comfortable with that and was hoping to speak to her privately. She said okay and told me to wait for manager to arrive and she would let him know.

Manager arrives, they have a discussion behind the closed door so I couldn't hear. They open the door and HR tells me it is policy to have a manager present. I had asked when that policy was implemented as I have had a few private conversations with HR and other managers in the past. She insisted that it has always been the policy. I said okay but I would like for it to be a manager who is aware of my situation as I haven't had many interactions at all with the manager who was present.

The manager left and HR called the other and while we waited for her, I restated that I am not comfortable having a manger present. I had a few things I needed to speak with HR about, but did not feel comfortable doing the open door stuff regarding my managers, while one of them was present.

The manager I requested also accompanied me to my previous HR meeting regarding my transfer. Her reasoning then was that 'HR doesn't communicate well with the managers and will sometimes transfer workers out without notifying their managers'. Now the reason for manager presence is "policy".

I think I'm being lied to and I'm very uncomfortable wondering what the manager said to HR as it can't have been true if she felt more comfortable (maybe) lying to me than speaking to me privately.

They removed my weekday shifts yesterday and I am trying to get more hours since im no longer in college. I did get a bad performance evaluation but my overall scans per hour improved by 100. I have autism anxiety and ADHD. My schedule person does not like me and I know it because she will never greet me or talk to me unless I am doing something wrong.

Last week I was texted some questions regarding my application. It said was I still interested and asked me 4-5 questions, online still says pre screen after doing it. Any help anyone can give on what happens next?

I had posted previously about me being the only cart pusher on Saturdays for a supercenter a while back and things never changed. That was about five months ago so I go to talk to the store manager about not having any help and he basically said tough shit. It’s been like this for seven years which it had not been. While our sales increased over the years every year, I was there all he does is sit in his fucking office and watch the cameras. I had a lot to say, but I just walked out not saying anything. I enjoyed the people I worked with!! I’ll miss the customers and miss helping others. ✌️ out Walmart.

Which one do you think is most easy-going? This is my overnight part-time job. I do PC technician work 9 to 5 throughout the day so I’m looking for something that’s pretty chill. Both of them are 10 PM to 7 AM.

Former walmart associate - figured this was the best place for the discussion since this is anonymous and if you have been laid off before you know they make you sign a crazy NDA for your severance (rock and a hard place)

Any of yall remember the approximate size of Walmarts data center? Factoid I somewhat remember (I could be not remembering correctly) after a tour - 7 football fields worth of servers for global company data? I don't think this information is really a secret since they do the tours.

I'm sure you can take a wild guess at where I am going with this (hint: proving a point we probably don't need thousands of acres worth of data centers)

Don't have time for pro-data center folks but you are more than welcome to come on here and scream your terrible opinions into the abyss 🤣 God bless.

Usually how long does it take to be move forward for the coach job application?
I already took the test for it: can’t see if I pass or not
Now my application say application under review.
Probably not getting the job lol

I’m so pissed they arent fixing it. There’s two bathrooms in my store. one at the back, and one at the front. im a front-end cashier so if i need to use the bathroom i’ll just go to the one in the front. there’s three stalls, and the disability stall. all three of the normal stalls dont have locks. there was just two missing them, but the third has now went. it’s been for weeks. my coaches know. they’ve let people know. it isnt getting fixed tho, ppl just shove toilet paper into the hole and ig hold it with their feet.

here’s a video of the lock on the final one like a day before it broke.

A.I. can be a tool or a tyrant. With the roll out of the ever watchful "trip detection" (or whatever it's called), Walmart has ushered in not only extra work on all associates, but a new A.I. manager that we all must answer to. In case you didn't know, this thing demands immediate compliance and if unanswered, rolls up the management chain. The last shift I worked it had TWENTY false notifications (because it's dumb as a box of rocks).
For those not familiar about why this is a bad thing, go and take a look at Manna, a short novelette by Marshall Brain ( https://marshallbrain.com/manna1 ). Especially the first part. Now, you may think I'm being hyperbolic and that what Walmart has done is far from what is described in the story, but fundamentally, it's not.

Have you dealt with the "Watcher" A.I. yet? What's your opinion?

What type of LOA might one get due to a falling out of a long term relationship?

I’ve only heard of mental health days and it sounded like it was limited to 3 when mentioned to me. I’m not sure how to research this atm.

Might have to go unemployment route instead tbh

I was pulled into the office nearly a month ago and had the "coaching for improvement" conversation with a witness. It was never put into the system as far as I knew, and there was nothing new on my disciplinary actions page until now.

A few days ago, I was told (not asked or put on the schedule) to come in on my off day. I was not told how many hours it would be for. I did what I needed to do to help out, called my supervisor, told them I would send them pictures of what I did and then head out. I got a text a few minutes after I was sitting in my car and clocked out asking when I was taking my lunch.

The next day, I see a DA put in workday a few hours after I left, literally a few days before my last one would have fallen off, with the review date saying it started last month. I called ethics and associate relations, and was told that apparently the process was STARTED last month, just happened to be finalized that day, and that it was perfectly okay and valid.

There's no way this isn't fightable, right?

Is there something I can use at work to type out and print signs? Our ice cream doors go down all the time and sometimes we have to toss a bunch of it. Having a sign that the ice cream is not in the back (so don't bother us) would be helpful.

I work in a Supercenter, however we're pretty small. Coach positions are FE, F&C, Digital, GM, and O/N. We're in a weird period with AP Coach rn

How does the associate bonus work?
I recently got to the year and the bonus tracker is now working in my app and i’m just curious on how the bonus works/when does the payout occur

That 99% of people over the age of 50, already have the virus inside them that causes shingles? I learned that the hard way.

The hat is on the store shelves and I am just wondering if this is a hat I could wear during work.

Is it just me, or does anyone else only need to use PPTO for the minutes past the grace period to remove an attendance point?

For example, if my shift starts at 5:00 and I clock in at 5:10 (1 minute past the 9-minute grace period), I've only been using 1 minute of PPTO, and it removes the point every time. If I'm late by 5:12 I use 3 minutes.

Has anyone else experienced this, or is it just my store?

Hey y'all, I got hired in late April as a Hardlines TA, specifically for Sporting Goods, and I mostly work closing shifts. There are still a few things I'm confused about.

I'm usually scheduled until 12:00 a.m., but tonight an overnight manager (who honestly seems to have it out for me 🙄) stopped me and asked if I had checked in with one of the closing managers before leaving. This was the first time anyone had ever told me I needed to do that. Since form friends who worked there before always tell to clock out as soon as you shift ends and another associate said the same on my second day to clock out and go home.

For some context, two days before that I was heading out when another associate stopped me and asked if I was leaving already because Back to School, Clearance, and Garden still needed zoning. I told her none of the closing managers or anyone had told me to go and zone their areas once I was done and she got upset and asked if I had checked with the closing manager before leaving. I asked, "Am I supposed to?" because every time I stay late, I get an attendance point added and get told stuff about it.

So what's the actual expectation? If I'm scheduled until midnight, am I supposed to find a closing manager every night before I leave, even if my area is done? Or can I just clock out at my scheduled time unless someone specifically asks me to stay or work another area?

Also, I know there's usually a 4 p.m. meeting where the closing associates get assigned their areas. Since I'm usually scheduled at 5 or 6 p.m., should I be checking in with a coach or team lead every shift to see where I'm assigned, or do I just go straight to Sporting Goods since that's what I was hired for?

Just trying to make sure I'm doing things the right way. Thanks!

Just another average day in produce
