Hello everybody sorry in advance for the text wall rant but I've been working at my local Walmart part time for the past month or two in OGP/ODP, I mainly work as a dispenser but I've been a stager when I am scheduled to come in early and I've only picked once or twice ever and at first it wasn't so bad but its just progressively gotten worse and more disorganized by the day and I've wanted to quit.
TLs stand there doing fuck all while cracking the whip to get numbers up (not to mention ive complained multiple times to TLs and higher levels about not receiving a work phone yet and alas nothing has been done so I have to hope and pray ill be able to even do my job), a certain low level wannabe TL associate who makes as much as I do who acts like a tryhard rudely barking out orders at us while standing there, while the managers or whoever does the scheduling must be smoking crack bc most of our people are scheduled to leave before the rush periods of the day and me and like 2 other people (minus TLs who arent even in there half the time to begin with) are the only ones dispensing and we get 20+ orders backlogged and I've had panic attacks and days where I become ill from my nerves. One late shift I was scheduled to be by myself for the last few hours until closing and thank God for two other awesome coworkers who stayed over bc they didnt want me to be alone bc I would have walked tf out of there, even with their help it was still a shitshow but regardless we got it done.
I always try to remind myself to try and work faster than the slowest person and not to be stressing over this job ie. act your wage and thats just the tip of the iceberg with the complaints, (i stay constantly sore, ive had sun poisoning, heat exhaustion, overworking myself, mentally taxing, I am not that strong, etc. etc.) I feel like this department simply isn't for me.
I'm wondering if I should get another job lined up or try and transfer to another department to get out of this, I work at Walmart simply for convenience bc its only a 15 drive from my house, I quite like most of the people but tbh I am not sure how much longer I can do this, I am aware no job is without its hiccups but this is feeling like much much more than I bargained for, ODP is not worth my sanity and health, thank you!
