Topics regarding layoffs at Walmart

They want us to quit on our own

I have nothing against new employees, moreover, I think that this company is taking advantage of them as well. However, to equate us who have given so much to this company and new people who are neither interested in their job nor know how to do it... — read more 

They want to see responsibility

Frustration here is growing. I don't understand how it is possible for a boss to ask of an employee what he himself cannot do? Taking responsibility is one of those things. For everything that person does wrong, he always blames someone else. We... — read more 

People calling in

People calling in is the problem. Attendance policy is to easy and liberal for the ones that don’t want to work. To many associates plan their work around their personal lives not their personal lives around work. If they have paid their rent and... — read more 

Jab or fired home office mandate

In September the announcement was over 90% of home office associates were fully vaccinated or received an accommodation. In October the number was near 100% keeping in mind the holdouts had already been suspended without pay. The question is how... — read more 

They're not thinking this through

How are new people being given more hours than those who have been here for several years? I know there's a shortage of workers and they're trying to keep those who have just joined from leaving but don't they realize how this is affecting the rest... — read more 

I think that's a big mistake

They act like people here really have no other option. They think we should be happy to have any job at all. Is that the best this company can do? Give people jobs and try to convince them that they shouldn’t expect and want more? Maybe that... — read more 

Walmart asking Biden to call in the National Guard?

Biden: “Well, I had a timetable to—first of all, I want to get the ports up and running, and get the railroads and the rail heads and the trucks in port ready to move. Because I’ve gotten Walmart and others that say, ‘We’re going to move stuff off of... — read more

Job eliminations

Every January/February it seems jobs are eliminated at Wal-Mart. What is everyone hearing about the coming year? At the least I've heard AP ASM is being eliminated.

From whom did you learn the most here?

I am thankful that I got a job at the moment when I needed it the most, without having almost any experience beforehand. It is only today, when I look back on starting here, that it is not clear to me how I managed to learn everything I needed in... — read more

Fate of the ACCM/APM positions

Has anyone heard what the plan is for these two positions? The writing is on the wall as Service Managers in ACC make Team Lead money ($18+ per hour) and the AP Team Lead position is imminent...

Worst job in the store?

Is that the cashier? I think so. I don't believe there is anything worse. I’m a cashier and if I don’t find another job and don’t get out of here in the next month or so, I think I’ll experience a total burnout.

APA raise?

When will APAs get a raise? Seems like everyone is making way more than what APAs make now and it’s one of the most dangerous jobs in the store! Anyone know if this will happen?

Negativity

I know Walmart is suppose to be raising the wages up to 12 company wide but it seems like since the roll out of the first structure changes management has been really negative towards associates. No matter if it’s a light day or a heavy day the... — read more

She said what most of us are thinking

This was amazing and I wish this young lady all the best in life. I wish I had the courage to do what she did. When you don't treat your employees like human beings, you deserve to be put on notice like... — read more 

They don't want to see the truth

Its all the same. Management keeps pushing all these ridiculous "metrics" on already short staffed stores. They keep Pushing "we gotta get this done", we gotta do this "absolutely ridiculous demands and stores are so short staffed one cannot keep up... — read more

Changes

What changes are coming for 4th quarter?

I don't give a damn about customers

Management treats us like sh-t day in, day out. They expect us to do everything for miserable pay and hours and then they're shocked when we stop caring and fulfilling every customers' whim. Well I might start caring about customers being happy when... — read more 

Priority: expand skillset

OK, I came here, I worked, I realized how hard it is to be stuck here when your other options are thin due to lack of skills... I learned a lesson... the most important thing is to upgrade skills and that is my priority now... What are you doing to... — read more 

Is there any day that isn’t stressful here?

Fortunately, Walmart is not the only gig in town. The work here was mostly reduced to daily struggle and daily stress. I lasted six years and now I could write a book about all the problems employees have here. Lately, everything here has been... — read more 

Bad Leadership

Why would you be surprised, in making ppl work 12 hours 6 days a week due to understaffing, your own incompetence, promotion lust, and bonus greed - (while you refuse to lead by example and only do 8 hours 5 days a week) - when your ppl grow to... — read more 

No More Quarterly

I guess it was only a matter of time; why not they took everything else away.

Until when will they ignore employee problems?

This is nothing new, this company has never cared much for workers. However, judging by the stories of those who have been here for a long time, at one time people here could have felt much more dignified and more valued. I think Walmart should start... — read more

Raise to 12

I know the wage is going up to 12 for associates but will those in stock groups go up a dollar like articles are saying at least a dollar raise for people ?

Just got a job at a local ALDI

You have no idea the amount of satisfaction I got from telling everybody at my store I'm leaving for good. I was one of the few remaining employees who worked hard and tried to keep that place from falling apart, so trust me that my absence will be... — read more 

Once people find another opportunity they all leave

Are most people here just because they don't have any other employment choices? I got the impression that in fact no one comes here with the intention of staying long, but only until he or she manages to find another job. It’s sad when a company is... — read more
