I wasted 9 years of my life at Walmart. It's a dump. It will be a holiday if and when Wal-Mart meets a similar fate to K-Mart

[@jaysouthmusic8230]

That’ll be the day cause there’s a lot of people that say they don’t even like shopping at Walmart and find other places to shop at

[@RobertBee-fs8hv]

You survived 3 weeks the usual threshold of tolerance . What keep you there for 8 years 11 months

[@dman1069]

Lol I use to work at Walmart and I use to just randomly walk off the job and sit in my car to avoid the managers, then I walk back in 30 minutes later to check in an make sure the managers see me in the store.

[@elliswhiteley9765]

I believe everything you say. I lost my job because management trying to run me and others off. They finally got rid of me. They kept adding more days on my attendance. I did my job right and they like it the five years I was there. Management always treat us like trash. We all hated Walmart.

[@aedanstorm]

My team lead worked at Walmart for 25 years- got fired for stopping a thief from stealing a couple thousand dollars worth of merchandise

[@jaysouthmusic8230]

And this is nothing new today. Walmart as a company is terrible to work for and the managers lost all my respect. Only been there seven months and I already want to leave but I already have a feeling they gon fire me cause of attendance. My well being comes first at the end of the day and they don’t pay me enough to wreck my body for this Job

[@casualgamer09-]

I work overnights at Walmart. There was a fire in my family’s hometown and i was late for work because me and my father brought them back home after the fire was gone, so i got a half point for being late for that. And i also got a half point for not working my 10-7 shift when it was originally 10-3. They changed it on me at the last minute without asking me. So i left at 3 am, got a half point for “Leaving early”. Don’t work at Walmart because they don’t care about you or your family, they just care about how you can be their lapdog. i’m thinking about quitting and leaving this company behind me!

[@Hershewed]

yup the point system is terrible and that's how I got laid off because of the points

i hate the point system and i hate there is no sick time and i am a cartpusher and i’m forced to work in the rain. i got very ill from working in the rain.

[@jaysouthmusic8230]

Unfortunately walmart is still very toxic. Been working there for seven months and I’m already fed up and mentally checked out. It’s not even worth it and managers are always on me, one in particular and employees seem to be phonies to me being cool with this managers that hates me for no reason. Can’t wait to leave and I’m never working for Walmart ever again. Don’t wish this on my worst enemy

[@morbidzombii]

It’s my 4th day here, already tired of this shit. If they don’t change my schedule I’m leaving this shit.

[@jaysouthmusic8230]

@vanity9100 I don't blame you man and they laid me off because of attendance since they decided to schedule me on Fridays and I thought they were giving me Fridays off because I do things on Fridays and that's the only good day for me to go to the studio since I do music and that's my safe place. So they basically laid me off for that instead of switching my schedule but I have no regrets about it my time was up there anyway cause I got written up twice

[@ThePhenomenalOne717]

Thanks man save me the stressed almost apply there going to apply some were else.👍🏽

[@west20087]

My mom worked there for 17 years. Back when she first got hard on it was a decent place to work for but after Sam pasted away it just went down downhill fast. The last straw was when they try to put her in makeup departments and everyone when knew my mom knows that she was desperately allergic to perfume and that department wreaked of it and everyone told the manager this and she didn't care. My mom was sent to the hospital shortly after. She was ok after but still. She got on disability a year after not related to the first incident and never looked back.

[@solasluna192]

I work in the OGP (Personal Shopper) dept. These sociopathic, bonus-chasing devils make you feel absolutely worthless and inept and they ALWAYS have something to complain about, even if you bring in good numbers, have good attendance and have a good work ethic. Our best is never good enough in their eyes.

[@dakarailayne3039]

I gladly let myself get fired from Walmart. It's a truly disgusting company. Everything you said is true, I was treated with such disrespect there, and I couldn't take it anymore. I don't see that company lasting in the next 10 to 15 years. It's a dump.

[@thekid7599]

That sounds awesome.

[@jaysouthmusic8230]

this happened to me. they laid me off because of attendance and they scheduled me on a day I wasn't available and then changed my schedule just to lay me off that exact same day. They really don't care and they had the audacity to tell me that I could reapply to them in 3 months.

Quiet Quitting is the new American work ethic. Thank God I got fired for performance and not mis-conduct. Therefore, I was able to get unemployment and food stamps for 9 months,. My friend had a beach house and rented me a room for $300 a month. I laid on the beach with a young girl and umbrella drinks for the whole summer. It was great!

[@romepix]

Now that is smart!

[@jamesbelkin9204]

That sounds awesome! I currently work ON for a Neighborhood market, been there for a little over 2yrs. Up until January everything was ok. But then we got a new store manager, since then every negative thing I've heard about walmart I'm now experiencing. I used to enjoy going to work and now I just dread it. I'm trying to get out now.

[@aedanstorm]

Update, it’s they dropped the point system from 9 points to 5 points before firing you.

[@jaysouthmusic8230]

yup that is true I had 7 points, they shedded off the points and then I got laid off after having 5 point because of attendance on days I didn't ask to work on. Walmart never cares about your life outside of your job

[@aedanstorm]

@@jaysouthmusic8230 fuck Walmart man. For real.

[@trifortay]

I currently work at walmart, it's.... not fun at all, the rules are fucking garbage, the dress code doesn't allow us to wear hoodies anymore, which is awful since I work in the coolers. I work in the Meat and Produce department so I'm in the cooler a good amount of time. And now it's a 5 point system, but now we earn PPTO time.... WHICH FILLS UP LIKE AN HOUR EVERY LIKE 60 HOURS OR SOMETHING. I hate it here. Save me.

[@jaysouthmusic8230]

I currently work there too and I agree with you. Managers are terrible. This one manager hates me for no reason and I’m the only young black employee there so I think it’s some low key racism going on. On top of that, having to deal with rude customers and it’s just all around not worth it. Other employees get weekend days off while they make me work every single weekend. Can’t wait to leave but I gotta feeling they gon fire me and I honestly wouldn’t care if they did. Never working for Walmart ever again

[@westabsupplyebay4093]

Had a former roommate that worked there for nearly 3 years, the days he had my god that dude had perseverance and patience that of a saint. I wouldn't have lasted anywhere near that long, would've been looking for a new job much sooner.

[@goldeegoldfish]

I only got 5 points before I was fired , but I’m happy to have gotten out . F Walmart

[@jaysouthmusic8230]

Believe me I don’t blame you. The manager shaved off my 9 points to 4 for attendance reasons cause of the scheduled day I didn’t ask to be on. I was like “why didn’t he let me go then”? Cause at this point if they let me go I’ll be celebrating on my way out the door, and this is in the suburbs I’m talking about and it’s bad. Can’t wait to get out of Walmart

[@kvs-adonai5214]

So true! And if you do something that they don’t like, now you’re on their radar and they will literally clock you if you have to go puke in the bathroom. Geez. One manager will tell you that just do the best you can cause you’re new and by the end of your shift that same manager will be concerned why it took you so long!! Which one is it? Here I’m thinking I’m doing a great job and then to be told at the end of the shift that I wasn’t fast enough for them. Btw…I was throwing freight easily within a minute per box, so what did I do wrong? Fuck that!

[@GrantTheHierophant]

They only had 5 or 6 people to unload our trucks when I worked there. So either I would throw or stack pallets from the rollers. Management constantly bitched that we weren't unloading trucks fast enough. Place was run by idiots. I still shop at the Walmart I used to work at, and the store owner got canned for sexism against male subordinates, and all the managers have grey hair now. I feel nothing but pity for those who are trapped there.

[@steveb9525]

I was in rehab (once again) with a guy about 50 who went half crazy working at Marshalls, Ross or a place like that. He said these fat Spanish illegals would come in with there 6 little kids and let them run wild, pulling all the clothes off the hangers and throwing them all over the floor. He spent all day trying to rehang stuff on the proper hanger and finding out where it goes back on the shelf. He nearly drank and drugged himself to death before having a nervous breakdown. The Walmart we went into the other day was 1/8th of a mile long filled with people that looked like they just invaded America.

[@thekid7599]

spot on. Its pretty much a last resort type job. I took it before due to unique circumstances but its as bad as your gut feeling is likely telling you it is. Walmart uses many small-medium USA towns to capitalize on desperate people since they drove many locally owned businesses out over the decades leaving a labor glut of people now "indebted" to slave-mart when otherwise they would have been working for more local companies with common sense human ethical standards. Hail our corporate overlords! Three cheers for Sam Walton!

[@lucylove4693]

Yes I'm agree with you .since I was work at Walmart and sam club before .they make you stressed out.manager super lazy pay the phone all day .only thing they can do it's treat employees like shit.managers very bad attitude to employees.my one of friends she work with me .she get hurt finger one day .she can't do her job so they let her do light duty.but managers call her go to office try to fired her .they think since she hurt her fingers.think she it's useless now .make her down.said she waste the company payroll How evil this company!!!!!!

[@kuzushisakuraba2719]

Walmart is the Worlds worst place to work , they cutting my hours to Zero,like zero,zilch ,nada, nothing no hours ,its been 2 month . When i asked the crap bag manager they told me that the computer is doing the scheduling.well thats like saying the gun shot someone but the inner chamber was responsible WTF. We all gotta make a Holiday called Fuck Walmart day.

[@mister_delight]

Quit working at that shit place

[@devenrivera5842]

Anyone who is currently working at Walmart (or H‑E‑B and other retail franchise stores) I hope you all can find a job that can help you grow and have a more than a stable income. Your treated like robots and the company can replace you when you have a malfunction. I felt like my brain was rotting from the inside and my soul left my body after a month working there. Having worked as an overnight stocker is the worst job I have had but it was good because my managers were great, nonetheless, some workers and many customers will do anything to get you fired because of their ego. I wish y’all the best and god bless you guys for the work y’all do.

[@jermainechadwick8231]

The closest I've come to working at Wal-Mart was as a bell ringer at Christmas time. Even then, I was employed by Salvation Army. We used their break rooms for rest and lunches.

[@godmodeflame]

I lasted there close to 5 years I worked overnights for a while I swear the people they put me with they want me to do 90% of work and I'd have multiple pallets done by the time a guy literally did one layer off an Elkhart and when I complain they don't do shit about it, and it's just this constant thing of issues not getting solved and then I'm getting yelled at because shit isn't getting done because they're not solving the issues, absolutely the most stupid managers they can find, The sewage would literally back up and start flooding the break room, I'd drive off a bridge before I work there again 🤣🤣

[@sirejester1155]

I have a sinus infection and i tried calling walmart to tell em i was sick and i couldnt get anyone to answer :/ and then my coworker told me i did a no call no show and they took 3 points of me like who the hell am i supposed to call?!

[@Paul77786]

Samething.

[@toof7081]

They pay $35/hr which sounds like a lot but you'll only get 20 hours a week or less. I got blamed for our team having a long day but my production was 118% so fuck the managers. You can kick ass and they'll still bitch at you. So now I work slow on purpose and maybe fuck up some pallets on the way.

[@jaysouthmusic8230]

This is what I started doing when I stopped caring about walmart and next thing you know I was laid off and I honestly do not regret being laid off from walmart because how i was treated especially by one manager in particular. And I was getting paid 15 an hour bi weekly and it wasn't worth the disrespect though

[@AngelicMissMarie]

When I worked at walmart we were expected to finish everything by the end of our shifts and we were expected to stay overtime if it was not finished, we did not have enough staff so we were basically blackmailed into staying late (if you didn't you would find your hours cut and you would be lectured every day by the manager who did fuck all every day.) I had to fight so often to get paid for the time I was basically forced into and I reported the company for workplace violations and got the response back of "Walmart did a personal investigation and found nothing wrong. :)" I'm making far less at my new job but I don't feel genuinely suicidal every single day. Unless you can literally not get any other job, don't work there.

[@Th33Vultur3]

I've had managers that acted like I couldn't even take a 15 minute break even though I am entitled to one after the first two hours of my shift and the two hours before you go home. We have an overnight manager now that when they comes in, starts pointing and complaining on why things aren't done. I'm on jainitorial maintenance and I asked them to open up the grocery compactor and when we got there and they saw the trash that was there, they got on me for it and blamed the first person they saw basically. I told them that they need to get on the team leads and all the departments to get a manager to open it for them and stop leaving it there and passing it along to someone else and make sure it doesn't block the fire exit either. That same overnight manager I pass by personel without going in and they are so loud to a point you can immediately here them from outside the office even with the door closed and they were start complaining. If you don't want to work in your position, step down and go to another department instead of taking it out on someone else. Or better yet, find another job. Its easy to a job for the salary and not want to do work while your ass is in the office doing nothing. One of those that think they can treat employees like shit the moment they walk in. They also recently made a metal cage to put the plastics in so it can be wheeled over from the grocery backroom to the GM backroom my coworker was working it and was wonder why I was wheeling it to the other side, I told them to talk to that same manager who immediately started complaining about it and told me to move it even though I told them my coworker was working on it. I told my coworker if that happens again, a useless manager told me to do it. Now Walmart calls them the managers as coaches now. We both agreed that you gotta love it when a manager comes in to work and immediately starts being nasty and complains and loves to change the procedure. I will guarantee that when that overnight manager leaves due to getting laid off, fired or they quit, things will go back to how it was before. Always does. The only ones that win are Sam and Bud Walton's demon spawn and their family. Before my shift at 12:30 PM before a 1-10 shift on May 12, I saw $100 at a self check doing food shopping and should have turned it in and I didn't. That was my fault and I fucked up. The customer called about it and they saw the camera and I was called into the office and terminated. Forgot I had it on me, said I didn't, remembered I did and gave in to the Store Lead and the Auto Manager, who was an AP manager till a new one came in and was terminated for gross misconduct and lack of intergrity at 4:30 PM and that I was do not rehire. I was not arrested, was told to turn in my badge, vest, work phone and discount card in and was told to leave. I found a new job 2 weeks later EXACTLY and was only unemployed only for 18 days. I started orientation at my new job 18 days later. Doubt I will get unemployment for gross misconduct. I did daytime full time maintenance at Walmart. I work at a grocery store now making $15.50 an hour. I was earning $14 at Walmart after 3 years and 4 months there. I feel bad for what I did and I'm not rehireable, but at the time, I'm also relieved. Walmart was a drag and I still have lingering body pains from the job from heaving lifting from throwing out garbage into the compactors. I felt Walmart did me a favor. My new job is far different and much more relaxed. I'm NOT proud of what I did, but they did promote me to customer now. My management team was straight up garbage. Even the overnight ones. When my stepdad died from cancer on March 14, 2020 and my maternal grandmother from Alzheimers in October 26, 2020 and Covid didn't help, I had the 3 days bereavement both times plus my normal 2 days off. I can picture Walmart doing this. After I was fired on May 12, 2023, even though it was for theft and gross misconduct and not rehireable, I feel bad for what I did to get fired, but relieved feeling free. I found a job exactly 2 weeks later. And started the new job 18 days at a local supermarket. I'm earning $15.50 at my new job doing part time and after 3 years and 3 months there at Walmart starting in apparel at $11 when I started and finished doing janitorial maintenance at Walmart at $14 an hour. They took quarterly bonuses away about a year and a half ago. I worked there from Feb 13, 2019 at Walmart until I was fired on May 12, 2023! Fuck WALMART! Promoted to customer NOW and FOREVER! Management is just as incompetent as when I worked at Home Depot. I dunno which is worse, Home Depot or Walmart. I think Walmart, by a little bit, but not by much. I worked at Home Depot 7 years and 10 months there. I have to rollover my 401k from Home Depot/Walmart since it was from HD and then put to Walmart in 2020 and put into another 401k when I have the chance or they will charge me a fee a year of about $9 or just leave it there. Once I do that, I am truly done with Walmart!

I did electrical work for over 20 years and got laid off due to my health. Disability is a joke. Walmart gave me a job and it depends on the management. The management at the store that I work at is cool. I listen to music while I work and just do the best I can. I do like finally having affordable health insurance and the management understands that I struggle with my health.
