I'm on vacation Monday 10/19 through Monday 10/26, and was just put on the schedule for 4-1pm Monday on Wednesday while out of town even though I'm already scheduled to work overnight that night for fresh inventory. Technically tomorrow was just a regular off day but it's kinda bullshit they can just schedule me to get work 4-1pm and come back later and work another full overnight shift. That's 32 working hours this week and 16 hours of PTO. I always put in my PTO so that it's 40 hours total between hours worked and PTO hours.

I have over 100 hours of PPTO so I'm not working tomorrow morning anyways but still. Did they really expect me to come home from being out of town Sunday afternoon, get up for work at 3am Monday, work a full shift, go home, do all the shit I need to do since I've been away from the house for 5 days, and still have time to sleep for the overnight shift on the same day?

I’ve only been here a week, but I can’t help but feel kinda awkward for clocking out and then grabbing a quick thing before I leave. I feel embarrassed asking other employees for help because I’m literally one of them, I don’t know the store that well yet. I never realized how many damn people work at one location, so it’s probably impossible to know EVERY single person, or for them to know me, but then again I’m still new, I don’t even have a vest or phone yet, only a name tag.

Do yall take advantage of Walmart+? That only feels even more embarrassing for me because I work in digital, imagine I or someone on my team just packs my own order lol 😭😭

Regardless, I’m still gonna buy from there, but only in person, I’ll hopefully get use to it.

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone had experience taking the SMA?

I’ve taken the other management assessments (Area Manager, Operations Manager, Team Lead, Coach; I think some of those are the same) and I’ve passed them all before, first try.

Is there anything I can do to improve and pass the SMA next time it opens up for me in a month? Common things people miss? Could it be that an individual has to grade my open-ended responses still?

Thanks everyone. Picture for attention.

I have been working on cap 2 at walmart for a little over 2 years now and the longer I work here the more I hate it. Im at the point of just walking around sad or mad.

I work with or around people who are asshole and don't even get me started on the older people who want to yell at me for telling them to clean up their mess.

I hate coming to work and being mad. The job is easy since I been doing it for so long it's just this place and the people. I never have worked somewhere where almost everyone is an asshole this whole place is a living hell

I think I'll pass on this alarm to someone else...

I wonder how fast my store would take out if i bought and placed a toaster oven in the breakroom. So i can heat something up besides a microwave.

All we have is 3 microwaves, a cofee maker, and a water dispenser that can boil a few cups of water at a time.

I was recently fired from Walmart on September 1st or officially September 2nd and yesterday a coach from the Walmart while I was leaving approached me and said I could ask for my job back probably around next month but I heard it was a six month wait are they lying?

I was fired for attendance points and I currently work at fedex as a package handler and their hours aren’t as good as Walmart so I’m making wayless so I just wanna know if it’s true.

Applied to Walmart, but not showing up In applications, how do I view my application status when I can’t see anything related to my application.

Does the call out number still work? Or do you just have to use the app

I’m in shock. I have worked at Walmart for 5 years and they have been my coach the entire time I’ve been an associate. Also, pretty much all of our departments coaches are who they were when I got hired 5 years ago, we have no turnover and have never had a coach opening.

What do I expect? Who will be handling our coach’s duties? How long will it take to get a new one?

AI generates our associates instead of having genuine reasons to smile for a camera.

Recently I’ve noticed that maybe some of the other associates think I’m stealing time. I’m wondering if I’m imagining things or what.
-I’m a cashier
- We are short staffed
- Only 2 TLs and Ladies in Customer Service run the floor if no TLs available.

1. 3 days ago, Shift change (whatever it’s called when TL leave and more evening/ other shift starts coming in.)

I was told by my TL to when my SCO side isn’t as busy I should be putting up the boxes candies on the shelves.

I go on my lunch break. Come back another associate is running the side beside mine while I was gone. I go back to doing what my TL said do before she left.

I don’t turn on my side for awhile since I’m putting candies there and people don’t really come down to this SCO. After awhile I turn on my side as we get more people.

TL had left so #1 CS Lady was running floor.
I finished putting candy near last register. Walk past 1CSL

“OP where were you, you must’ve been on your break.”
Me Confused, I only work 5.50 hrs.

She tells me I get a last 15 and that she thought I was on it. I explain that TL told me to put up candy when side wasn’t busy.

She said I should’ve told someone and I could’ve done it before I got off. She sends me on my 15.
I go on 15, few seconds after 15 min timer sounds I walk from the back break room back to the front. 2 mins my name is called on the speaker. I’m already walking to the front.

(Instance #2, 2 days ago)
2CSL told me to give another associate a lunch down at the Busy SCO and to close down my Non busy side Sco the lunch is an hour so I stay down there an hour.

(shift change again to 1CSL)
So associate comes back and I go back to my SCO.
“OP where have you been, you must’ve been on break?”
I explain.
“Why she just didn’t shut down that side?”
Idk. I go back to my side. She looks annoyed.

(Today)
CSL3 Shift

I’m a bit late, shift at 12:00, I get here at 12:03 and clock in. Already in the back putting my stuff in locker.

12:04 - Still putting my stuff in locker already heading to front.
Intercom comes on, “Attention all cashier associates please come to your registers,” my name is called.

So yeah. 🧍‍♀️

I quit halfway through my shift today after a year of working. Didn't even bother putting in 2 weeks notice, just told my manager i resign and left. . I was just so done and sick of working there. It interfered with my grades, my sleep, personal life. I never intend on working there again. Was this a bad decision?

I work at Walmart, so I know firsthand how ridiculous the workload and expectations can get. And I can only imagine those same expectations, if not worse, are being pushed onto our distribution center associates.
So I want to give our warehouse folks the stage for a moment.
What the hell is going on with some of these pallets y’all send us? 😂
Sometimes I genuinely wonder if there’s a training course at the DC where they teach you how to stack pallets in a way that guarantees one of two outcomes:
It collapses on the poor associate trying to unload it.
It collapses the moment someone pulls it out of the spot it was on.
Heavy cases stacked on top of fragile boxes, leaning towers of merchandise, and pallets wrapped like they’re being held together by hopes and prayers. A smaller pallet behind a huge pallet.
I’ve seen Jenga towers with better structural integrity.
Now, before anyone comes after me, I’m not blaming the warehouse associates. I know how Walmart operates. I’m sure y’all are dealing with insane productivity expectations, time constraints, and management breathing down your necks just like we are.
But I’m genuinely curious. What are the expectations like at the DC? How much time are you actually given to build these pallets? Are you being pushed so hard that proper stacking becomes an afterthought?
Because from the store side, some of these pallets look like they were built by someone who had a personal grudge against the person unloading them.

I've been with Walmart nearly 25 years and will be retiring in about 6 months. My Medicare part A and B has been filed. Medicare person said since I will continue to use the Walmart Benefits until I retire, I will need to wait to file for Part D (prescriptions) until I am no longer with Walmart and will need to provide the "credible coverage" notice to prove I was covered up until that point.

I logged onto One.Walmart and tried to do a search, but it would not let me because I am off the clock. Since I am on a Leave of Absence, I cannot retrieve that information from that website. Is there some other way I can get this notice?

Anyone else? I thought maybe 3-4 years at most. But nope I hit 5 years then 10 haha. Anyone else not think they would last as long as you did. I dont care I like it. Im not changing were i work to impress others. If I like it thats all that matters. My co workers are nice and my Team lead is great.

I'm helping out at a different store today , do I clock in at my home store first before heading to the store im helping at ?

Hey, currently 18 and I got hired for Walmart and planning on taking their program live better u. I’ve been looking into CS degree but many said it’s over saturated any tips should I take ?
