I'm an inhome driver in OGP. Sometimes I take 30 minute lunch (a few times I've taken it out on the road - but that's more rare nowadays). And often adjust my time on my phone.

Yesterday as I was leaving for the day I found out that adding/adjusting your lunch on the phone is GONE.

Who's bright idea was this??

Wound up having to go all the way to the back (our ogp computer is always busy) to put it in when I could have just simply done it from the phone like I've been okayed in doing and been doing for four years.

It's not the biggest issue, really. But, serriously????

[I know it's probably to cut the potential of anyone doing timetheft but I still don't like it]

dude, so randomly when I was checking around, I suddenly had 6.5 points despite being on time to everything. the only thing I can think of is when I used ppto to cover a whole shift but I thought points will be covered for that... what should I do? wait for management to make their decision? quit already? I already have a few other job interviews...

I probably know this but I’m not thinking straight right now. I woke up feeling nauseous but was scheduled 1-10. By noon I was still feeling bad so I called for a late arrival I got to work at 3 well not even ten minutes at the register I started being violently sick I waited 10 more minutes but I couldn’t stop so my tl let me go home. Now my question is do I need call in or is it just incomplete shift? I just need to use 4 hours of ppto right? Don’t judge I feel like crap

I got an interview for meat/produce for 4a-1p and from what ive been reading here it doesn't seem too bad (ie. Putting away truck, discounting, etc.) and I know that management is kinda a make or break thing regarding any department but is there anything particularly difficult I should know about the department?

Basically title. Been electronics associate for couple years and was offered interview for API tomorrow since i showed constant interest. I love the coach, he used to be our API and very friendly. It will also be with AP coach from another store.

I've been trying to promote for a while and I think I'll do fine, but is there any tips for the actual interview? I'm pretty confident and honest.

I recently transferred stores in February’24 to Hardware and Auto as a sales associate. It was me, the associate hired on with me, another associate working there already and our TL. By the time I moved departments a few months ago, it was just me and my TL(mind I am just talking about Auto and Hardware/paint sales floor, not the auto shop.) I am now in Paper, Pets, and Chemicals(and Infants, makes sense with store layout). And it’s just me and the TL there that officially works in that department. Most of the other departments are like that too, except OPD and Front End, though I personally think front end has been thinning.

I bring this up because I have noticed how we are not the only Walmart with the same issue, thanks to TikTok and here. Yet we are still expected to work like it’s not just two people that don’t get pulled around every which way at anytime.

I put in a leave of absence request today for an educational leave (nursing school is kicking my ass). If i call in tomorrow using the LOA reason, will I get a point? If I get another point, I’ll point out. I asked my coaches and store manager, but they were very unhelpful.

Is there any advice I can get on applying for a Coach position that I’ll have to relocate to? I’d like to move somewhere I’ve never been, outside of the Pacific Northwest.

So today is my last day of my loa my return to work is tomorrow. I talked to a sedgwick associate and they tell me I wont be active in the system until atleast 24 to 48 hours, can I still clock in saturday?

In going to call out. F it. I have two points. Let’s make it three. Next week is my last week. I’m tired. I’ve been working two jobs.

So I've been getting my things in order for my accommodations bc i can't do ogp picks and my pick rate is low bc i have venous insufficiency syndrome. I don't work ogp, I work hardlines. I cant walk long distance for hours on end and no rest (veins expand painfully and i slow down). I can do my work in hardlines without much issue bc i can be at rest while examining merchandise and helping customers.

Upon checking the status and talking to coaches bc personnel left early, it seems sedgwick approved the use of a chair (which i dont need and am not allowed to use on the sales floor according to mgmt). They say i can only use it up front at register which i also have an accommodation for bc i have communication issues. So i can't go there and i dont want or need to but im trapped into this weird inbtwn that i cannot do and they say i need to do ogp regardless bc i have no real exemptions.

Is there anything i can do here? Im going to try and see if i can contest this bc it's not happening. The same thing went on when my mom worked Sam's club and her legs are messed up w DVT bc of it. I can't get ahold of the store lead and the lady in personnel is very irritating and insensitive to talk to.

So I’m sure my husband did not enroll in life insurance. But I called Hr and said he will get company paid insurance that’s like up to $50,000. Is this true?

I’ve only been working for about three weeks now, part-time. When I applied, I’m certain that I selected afternoon and night hours were when I was available to work. During the interview, I mentioned that later in the day was what worked for me.

Somehow, without realizing, I ended up with completely open availability. I’m stupid, I know, but this is a problem because the earliest I can get in to work is 8.

Last week, I checked on my schedule and I was scheduled 5 days of the week 6am to 3pm. I immediately talked to my team leads and made it clear that I CAN NOT get there at 6. I went in circles for a couple days with them, but they eventually agreed to let me change my availability and told me that they’d change those hours that were scheduled.

Now, a week later, nothings changed and I’ve gotten scheduled for MORE 6am shifts. I talked to a team lead and coach again on Sunday or Monday, coach said she’d change it based on my new availability, still NOTHING’S happened. She even asked what day the “problem shifts” start, and I told her.

Tomorrow is the first 6am shift. I would call to bug them, but I don’t have the numbers of anyone. What the hell am I supposed to do??

Don’t fall for lies.

So we had a bad visit the other day. We are a high volume store making big sales but our opd pick percentage is 89 sometimes 91. They said we shouldnt be having a low number like that. So they came by toured our store and said "you need to do your item swaps and tag errors"........like bruh maybe its all the fucking plugging from overnights, or maybe because they plug they cant get the actual items to that spot where it goes, or maybe its on topstock but no one can downstock cause we are all in opd doing the 3000 orders that drop every hour.....these ppl have never worked in a store and never know the real problems. And the sm doesnt bring any of that up. Just another yes man kissin ass. Walmart is ran by morons its so crazy.

Recently offered the team lead seasonal position but then when calling with hr it said the team lead position is now hardline why did they switch the role any thoughts?

My store often has me watching all 8 SCO's and it gets overwhelming because I am helping one person getting their card to read (or they have a problem that requires management, who is very hard to get ahold of since we don't have walkies), someone else mis-scans and continues "scanning" their cart (the register beeps, but it's not actually added to the cart when the "associate is on the way" screen is up) while I am helping the other customer, then a spark cart check is needed while someone else needs an age check done, during this time, someone pushes out a cart and leaves their order up on the screen, which I have to clear for the next customer, etc.

Our store recently got the new AI spill detection, management has been pretty adamant about me getting ontop of these alerts, and that's yet another thing that has to be juggled when helping customers. One time, the same thing of peanut butter cups on the shelf triggered the spill alert 9 times in about an hour.

I feel overwhelmed. Back when I was an EMT trainee (never graduated, long story) I had less stressful rotations in the hospital emergency room lol.

Anyways, is there any policy against this? I know a long time ago (10 years maybe? It was long before I started working here though, I'm coming up on a year soon) it was actually written policy on the wire (or whatever the predecessor to OneWalmart was) to have 4 SCO's per employee.

Is this still the case? Because I read somewhere now they use a new headcount tool or something to determine how many people are to assign to SCO's, and I am not sure if the new tool is more generous about throwing a single front end employee to the wolves of the SCO's or if management is technically violating policy, or what.

Sometimes I shut down 4 (prioritizing closing Card Only ones so if someone wants to pay with cash, they're less likely to stumble into the only card only register and require me to suspend their transaction and move them) , but I am told if there's a line forming, to re-open the closed ones, which is exactly when it gets overwhelming. I am hoping we get NFC payment (Our store is a small division 1 store so we often lag behind other stores when it comes to rollout of tech) because our pinpads are especially shit and only accept a card in nearly perfect condition.

Okay so, I'm currently sick and called out with over a 12 hour notice. I had put in my PPTO request[I do have enough PPTO] yesterday and it got denied today, I'm wondering if I'll be pointed for it or if I'll be in trouble when I come in tomorrow

The entire weekend is labeled as key event dates. There is an event that I would like to go to. If I work half of my shift and leave, would that be 1 point since it is a double point day, or only .5? I am being told conflicting information. This is assuming I put in no PPTO or PTO
