How is this Walmart's fault?

People are not getting fired based on their availability to work. They are not getting hours if there are not demand hours in the system when they are available to work, but not fired. That’s false. In fact company direction is to not do that.

If a person can not work when a company needs them then the company has to hire people who can. And the wage hours the new people get will be taken from those who could not work when needed. It’s perfectly logical and the only way to run a successful business.

Business are not social programs based around what works best for the employees but they are based on what works best for the customers.

If a person can not work the required hours they need to earn enough to survive because they can’t work when needed how on Earth is that the companies fault?

Kool-Aid man, you have it totally backwards. And Meal Violation you are wrong, there is not yellow form. If a manager tells you to skip lunch, the Coaching # for the manager needs to be put into the computer and forwarded to the MHRM.

I was online grocery last year until october, Home office peeps threw me out because I have a small hole in my heart. I went from 40 hrs to right now 7. My available hrs of work 4am-10pm. we have one car and hubby works til 10pm. so, I definitely feel it is favoritism. I do more work then the other people there and there IS always things to do. RETURNS RETURNS RETURNS...

As for this tier scheduling, I was hearing about that for years and I'll tell you for an absolute fact----all that can be and regularly IS over rode by the given area's salaried managers. Their choosing who gets the best or worst of what is based solely on favoritism, not availability. SAME THING WITH THOSE 'MEAL VIOLATIONS', if you punch out too late there's a yellow form the manager can sign you off under 'Needs of the Business' protocol. It all depends on simply whether they like you. Or not.

So you WM managers and other Kool Aid slurping house slaves keep spewing your company policy jargon; some of us know better and ain't buying any.

Maybe you don’t do a good job, maybe you feel entitled, maybe you’re a complainer they don’t want to deal with, maybe you call out or request too many days off that puts store in a bind. Maybe you only work your schedule and won’t stay over when needed.

Did you drink the Kool-Aid? Scheduling is done through a tiered system. Those associates who have 24/7 open availability are in Tier 1. All schedules for the next 3-week period will be filled by juggling and assigning shifts to Tier 1 associates. When Tier 1 is exhausted, Tier 2 is accessed to fill remaining shifts. Tier 2 is ANY associate with ANY restrictions. It is certainly probable that an associate with a restriction of say, 1 day per week they cannot work, could conceivably be assigned 0 to 10 hours per week for that 3 week period. This IS how it works. So no - they won't be fired - but they will starve.

I call BS cause the new people are getting my hours and my job while they are scheduling me as secondary position. They do what they want to, when they want to, and to whom. I even have open availability. And these part-timers got more hours than me and my hours i use to have. It was ok when i trained them for my job and now i don't get to work it.
