If u can, go for it. For me, I'm stuck till 2020. Lol But if things goes bad, then screw it I'll quit if i have too. I'm fortunate ryt now because I have a decent store manager, and they are flexible with my schedule since I'm part time.
@@LittleMissDeath We had an assistant manager that used to work at our store predict this back in 2015, He said they will change the attendance policy for the worse he then said they don't want longtime associates they just want new-hires that's all they want, Then once those new-hires get up to 4 or more years look for more new-hires and so forth and so on, And you are right no associate said YEAH I JUST WANT FIVE FUCK NINE THAT'S TOO MUCH hah.
Sam Walton cared about his customers and associates right now he is saying I should have taken my company to the grave with me they have ruined the empire I have worked so hard to build.
YOU ARE SO RIGHT!! I was a temp for 7 mos and 5 days. I was called to the ARC room after lunch and let go on the spot! I was the ONLY employee in my dept that NEVER called off worked with a fractured shoulder AND A CONCUSSION which affected me greatly!!! Also did more work than most of the others AND the customers LOVED AND APPRECIATED ME but not Walmart!!! I LOVE PEOPLE!!! I however can not drive at night down a long road with NO street lights so that was the "REASON" I was let go. Because I can't see to drive at night. NOT MY CHOICE. I CAN NOT SEE!!!! They don't care if I hurt or killed someone due to this disability or I were to die because I drove when I can't!!! Btw my fall happened at work. Hmmmmm.....I wasn't over my concussion until sometime in late Dec. Was let go in November
I hope they loose everything by the way Walton's dont own them anyways tear them down I don't want them to just suffer I want the whole goddamn brand tarnished and ruined
That's why I got the hell out of there last year. I currently work in I.T. Wal-Mart is a horrible company to work for. The favortism, unrealistic expectations, poor management, etc...i wish you luck..get out while you have a chance baby girl!!!
I worked at Walmart as my first job and i was fired for being one minute late and yet there’s people who come 15 minutes late or take like 2 hour lunch break and yet still aren’t fired but the person who comes one minute late gets fired
the associates they worked with were managers. most of whom only work 4 days a week have plenty of vacation time and other managers to switch with when they have an emergency. Our managers blame lack of people on call offs, but it is a lack of hiring and constant harassment and increasingly heavy work loads and lack of security, not to mention the favoritism (we counted a "pets" call offs they exceeded termination twice over) false accusations, discrimination. you name it. the open door policy is worthless. I dont know how it is in other stores, but the "pets" who get points erased magically, or perfect attendance associates in our store do not do anything to contribute to the profits. By the way, i am long term lifer and among other lifers who are furious about how this policy change was implemented.
I have one manager who has compassion and actually likes me enough to help me out when I'm in a rut. She's currently on LOA. Now I'm sick, on my 2nd point and honestly I doubt Sedgwick will work with me. They don't seem to work with anyone at my store. I probably won't make it to March if I don't get better soon.
YOU earn less PTO time and PPTO is a complete fucking joke, seriously for this year I WAS looking forward to earning almost 6hours of PTO per pay period but SADLY now Im earning 1.2hrs per payperiod because the other 1.45hrs go to PPTO but even if you total that OUT it does not come out to what I was supposed to earn, even one of the coordinators in personnel had the audacity to tell me I have to work TWICE as MORE hours just to even make ends meet but how is that even possible!? they have me working 40 fucking hours a week there is no more than that because we are not allowed to get OVER time seriously as a part time associate how am I even making 40 hours, how the fucking HELL do they get away with so many of these violations, OH and dont even bother going to complain to the WORK force agencies or even labor departments there a complete JOKE and you'll only end up making an ass of yourself at the most or worst make yourself look bad, these agencies are spineless and don't really do anything other than siphoning our HARD earned RAPED TAX dollars at giving cushy job to a couple of old fuckers with nothing better to do than ostracizing the common folk that DONT have a job when theirs is even WORTH the title of WORK.
I can tell you as a former employee, that this is very true. In the span of three months, they hit me with 4 1/2 points against me, one of those points was for clocking out a minute late on a five hour shift. Then they tried to accuse me of starting an argument with a customer, needless to say I quit on that day. Walmart cares about profits and do not now or will ever care about associates, period...
When I started with Walmart, almost 25 years ago, you got seven approved absences every six months. No point system. Any absences over that were unapproved, and you were terminated at four unapproved abscenses. They would take a doctor's note as approved after the seventh call off, because if you were willing to pay the doctor, you were actually sick. Attendance was much better back then, but so was morale. It was actually a decent place to work. I'm only there for the insurance now, certainly not because I love my job.
I also think this new policy sucks. Even if you are sick and had a Dr note, you still get a point. Can't call in for vacation day without getting a point. I, too want out and tired of all the stupidity.
I feel this way very deeply! This is the worst company I worked for in my life! Wanted out of working for wal mart for so long, been hard due to the state I live in minum wage is only 8.75 an hour! I hate wal mart! I hate working for this company! Worst ever! Horrible! Thank you for posting this video, thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing your honest views! When I posted this, I was afraid the shills would flock in and try to put me down for everything I said. Glad to see that hasn't happened (yet.)
Our management doesn't tell new hires that they get two UNINTERRUPTED breaks, just that they get two breaks. So they get people to do customer service during break, and they just go back and finish the time they had left. That's not how it works. If they interrupt your break for any reason, you start it over at minute one. So many employees don't know that.
Or keep points but allow doctors notes to remove points that would of been 1000x more fair honestly if they accept doctors notes but kept points i can at least understand 100% them wanting ya to get punished to stay up night with your friends *and i am not talking about COVID WHERE THEY HAVE TO LET U STAY HOME IF SICK BECAUSE OF LAWS til vaccine is widely distributed to public* I can 100% guarantee you they won't accept doctors notes and stop doing temp checks when vaccine is widely available and u don't have to go out of your way anymore to get it. Which means you will once again be penalized for being sick again when covid is over if it ends.
The new policy is a lie. Associates will be forced to work a full year before it even becomes useful without missing a day. Everyone has 0 ppto. During the worst time of year. Even perfect attendance IF they get a profit share at all, the dollar amount spent is tiny. The amount going into pockets of shareholders being taken away from associates is millions. All associates literally can't get sick, cant get flat tire, cant stay home when school close for snow, until they make enough PPTO at 1.3hour a week. Every year 0 if you don't let it add up. The publicity and making it sound like it's great and it wouldn't be bad if there was protected from day one or even permitting it from our regular earned PTO at a max of 48. But it isn't. It's seperator. May will lose jobs simply because it's complicated and WAlmart is not explaining everything like that part no-one has any available time. No-one can miss more than 4 days in rolling 6 months without losing job, schools have more snow days, factories have better policies and the actually have down time. WAlmart does not, no holidays, you aren't allowed to get sick but are exposed to violence often, virus , flu, cold, measles, ecoli, you name it. What Wal-Mart's doing is attempting to scam the public.
Damn right! I woke up with a soar throat and sinus infection, signs that I either have a cold or the flu and I'm already wishing for death. I can't call out. All I can do is suffer and hope I take as many managers and customers down with me as possible. Fuck em all.
god forbid anyone get in a traffic accident and cant call in 3 points that minute and get awoke in hospital call off but less than 3 days released with 4 points and lose myshare. that could happen to even those with perfect attendance who been there 30 years or even fired @@LittleMissDeath
Sam Walton is to Walmart what Colonel Sanders is to KFC. A figurehead, a caricature, dead and gone and 100% open for manipulation. Both men had a passion. Both companies have crushed their original product or promise. Such is the American way.
I worked at Wal-Mart in Andalusia they would not approve my time off for a week when I had pneumonia. I had a fever of 103. Then they fired me over one half a currence.
My neighborhood market is moving stocking to days only, no longer nights. So now we have to work around these customers during the day getting in the way of the stocking on top of them asking to show where certain merchandise is. I'm out of Walmart after that one
Obviously.I worked for Walmart for 3 years as a part time associate and they still never made me full time even though i asked (quite a few times).At the time i was getting 40 hours a week and now im barely getting 30 a week. They say theres not enough hours. (Sure there isnt.)
Its worse than you think! I found out that they no longer have an open door policy.. A 3rd party is paid by walmart to police the sorry asses that pay them... I've been with this company since 2007.. I was made to.miss my only child's graduation or be fired... I've witnessed the death of a handicapped assoc .. I've seen assoc go to lunch and come back bleeding from attempted suicide.. I've seen associates be successful in suicide. I've witnessed managers crying historically on the nasty floor of the restroom. I've have dark thoughts myself recently. This situation is absolutely NO JOKE! I pray a lawyer gets involved (class action) before those of us that can testify to personal knowledge of wrongdoings- pass away! To my associate family, "I would carry your pain if I didn't have my own. I love you and I'm so sorry we all bought into the bullshit during orientation!" This feels like a cult...I DAMN SURE KNOW ABOUT THAT..I escaped one..but jumped into another! I'm at 1124 now. Please don't make the mistake I made!
I have worked for Walmart 16 years and can't wait 3 years to retire when they raised the wage to 11 I got nothing because I made more than that. Then they went to 12 and I got nothing because I make 12.32 now they raised deli and bakery to 15 I got nothing because I don't work in those departments. They give raises to new hires who spend most of the day hiding or on their phones. I take 2 to 3 shopping carts of trash to the back by myself and the end of my shift while the new hires it takes 3 employees to take 1 cart to the back. Walmart wants to get rid of the old timers and hire young lazy kids who can't work weekends or evening or holidays and that's ok but us who been there for ever never get weekend and holidays off.
I was wrongly terminated from the store I worked at and accused of theft, I was awarded my unemployment, got payed all my back unemployment and Still drawing my unemployment until I find another job! Keep putting up the good fight against this horrible company! The experience I had was horrible I don’t wish it on anyone! Omg!!
Holy hell did you predict the future...I was just fired for having 4 attendance points...after I found a legit error of 1 point & brought it up to my lead. Now Walmart is appealing my unemployment determination because they claim that my violation of attendance policy is a misconduct issue so that they don't have to pay my unemployment. Also, the last bit you said about wanting out & wanting more from life really hit me in the feels, because that's where I am at too. Hope things are going better for you now.
My store manager was supposed to come in at five A.M. to do a meeting with the third shifters and he came strolling in at 7:10 when we were all clocked out. Didn't do the meeting, didn't do a lot of meetings with the dayshift then he went on vacation. At least it saved us from getting the wrong information I guess.
I wish customers would stop shopping there because of how the treat the associates my family has stopped shopping there I hate working there I've been there 23 years and I have been screwed so many times and wasted all those years I'm kicking myself for letting myself go through it it's like a bad marriage I was a customer service manager and stepped down because of how management treated me they cut me 3.00 a hour that hurt now I just need to leave cut my losses
Well said. I got hired as a part-time person at first but always got 40 hours I got pregnant and had a c-section and Wal-Mart refused to pay me maternity leave because I wasn't HIRED as a full time associate even though I worked full time hours so I had no income coming in during that time. 6 months pregnant they had me pushing carts one day. And my last day before I gave birth 9 months pregnant gave me a pallet of microwaves. Then I got a dept manager job in stationary, party supplies seasonal but now they are getting rid of the dept managers job and going to team leads and now I'm a associate again. I see this has been a year so hopefully your out of there by now. I'm trying to and feel your pain. EVERYTHING you said is true, the place is a total shit hole
I used ppto for an injury, used sick/other and was hit with a point even though it's authorized. Went to HR and they refused to fix it stated I did not go to the bottom of walmartone and use sick/other there as well. The printout on walmartone says nothing you need to do besides go to global, use ppto and it has to cover your entire shift.
Wal-Mart is trying to keep up with Amazon.... Good luck with that Wal-Mart! Our store has a 96% turnover rate.... Something they don't like talking about!
So true. I work at Walmart as a Team associate. The new people they're hiring now are school kids. Half of them don't show up for work. If they do. All they do is stand and watch videos on their phones. All the hard workers are leaving for Amazon or other companies paying more money.
They worked with employees to come up with this policy?... I heard it on the news before I was informed at work and I am full time. I have had perfect attendance for almost two years. Still, when I ask a question, HR said did you do your GLM, uh yea but it didn't explain this policy. KEEP your chin up, girl. You can re train your brain from the "One Best Way" and find a career instead of a position of a mule! I hear it in your voice.
I have 0 intention of staying at Walmart. The career I want is one that I really have to grind for, but I'll be damned if I become a lifer at a shitty corporation.
i am right at 5 points but they haven't said anything me yet and i had this for a while now .... if they let me slide till August i will be fine .... tho i doubt i will be fired anytime soon since there are people in my store with 7 points 6 points even 9 points and still working there. i have talked to them about they said they will take a look at it so they know i have 5 points .... so this tells me they are not in no rush to fire me more likely because inventory is coming up and we are soo under staff right now... this might be why they are tolerating it ....
I'm praying for you that you can find something decent what's better pay cuz there's nothing worse than working at a job that doesn't really appreciate their employees and it's kind of weird that they're not letting you have 40 hours I went through the same thing when I worked at Kroger's and I had to put up with a bunch of BS working all different hours being a single mother so I know how it feels to not get respected and treated good at a job and the worst thing about working there and she only got 15 minute lunch break and you practically had to break your neck to get back to work to clock in and that's just sad cuz there's not a whole lot you can do in 15 minutes
I work in the gloversville ny store and no one is happy anymore , everyone is being crapped on by this huge company and no one has the enthusiasm anymore because you just never know when your job is going to be gone can I have the same time we're paying our CEO 24 million dollars a year this is not what this company was meant to be and they're turning everyone away hoping for the day robots take overbut I have a feeling they're going to see that a lot of people are going to just start shopping elsewhere because they don't like seeing people get crapped on at Walmart.
Business Isn't safe It’s happening at my old store. Even on days that are normally busy, the store is dead. A lot of people in the area are just straight up boycotting it.
Yeah at my store there was this guy for a few years would leave at 2 for lunch, come back at 5 and put in the computer as if he only went to lunch for an hour. All stores are different, usually very understaffed.
Walmart doesn't care as long as they make money and i know this because im a manager and Walmart has some dark lore....I'm would say more but they could be seeing this so...
Walmart is the worst company to work for! They treat their employees like shit! I can relate to everything you say and are going through I was there 13 years and I hated it I won't ever work there again I could say so much more about this stupid company but I will keep it to myself
They are not leaving the floor early, if they want to be cheap and make it hard on you to survive! You should not stay over and dont care about finishing!
Especially when they give you 2.5 hrs to stock three truck loads of shit. And you're supposed to be done with you aisle by lunch which is 3am, and it takes an hr to an hr and a half to down stack, it's like we are truly fucking robots, and on top of that they now give associates 3 or 4 aisles to zone from 5am to 7am which is fucking insane, so I agree with you
Lol, i work at walmart for almost 6 years , and this new attendance policy is B.S.. 125% bonus doesnt help at all. They make it sounds a huge great of deal to associates. Cant call out as often as I used too lol
When you call off for the first time under the new system, you'll only be allowed 3 more call offs for the next six months and 1 tardy or early out. They're also going to chop our my share depending on how many points you have when the my shares are given out. If you have 4, you'll get nothing.
Jayce241 It’s simple. Quit your job and go find somewhere else to work. No one is forcing you stay. This is not high school where you can play hooky, and get talked to by your counselor. If you don’t take your job serious to where you needed “9” points to call off then you need to grow up.
@@Gt3ricky who said this was HS? Ur only replying to me out of my personal opinion, but u don't see how this affect other employees besides me. I highly doubt u knew some of the changes walmart did. Also, no one forced me to work at walmart, but if I can find loop hole to abuse the system, why not? Sucks for me they changed it though lol. Thank you for shopping at Walmart :)
@@LittleMissDeath I told some of the people I've work with about what happen to those other stores who earn less myshare. +25% just won't help it if the store earn ex:$25. It's sad for those loyal employees who have hard time maintaining their attendance for personal reason/issue.
If you work 40 hours a week, you will not earn your full 48 hours of protected PTO for 36 weeks. It will take you until October to earn those 48 hours.
I started with Walmart in 2006 and left in 2014 but came back for a little while. When they went to this new absence policy I figured it was better to stay away from walmart. I remember when we all knew how many absences we had. We knew when they feel off.
I can't even call in at all anymore for legit reasons. I have to go to school and I sometimes have to unexpectantly call in and this is so inconvenient having to work out my school schedule with everything now because that's why I started working there in the first place because it used to be so convient
I’m currently out on FMLA. Hopefully Sedgwick approved it because I’m fired if they don’t lol. But at this point, I don’t care. If they fire me, I’ll be more than happy. In fact, I recently told a few coworkers that when I quit or if I get fired, I’m going to throw a huge party and we’re all getting wasted.
@@LittleMissDeath I honestly wouldn't either 😂. I just don't want that tj look bad on my resume for future employers though. I hope you can find a new job as well, I love this video it really expresses how I feel about it. This was very appreciated 👍
I am currently working at Amazon started in November 2018 pay is $16/hour .I was working full time at walmart and became part time soon I start working for Amazon. I will quit walmart soon this summer coming up.
My health comes first as anyone who works at Walmart. All these germs that are passed along from customers coming in not properly sanitized or even still sick is one of the things why employees call in.
i was made a full time in less than 24hr, literally my first day manger was like yo we need people you wanna work every department. i was like sure if you show me how. so here i am 3 week in hate it cause nobody teaches me anything. cant even watch the videos cause every time i go to i get yelled at for not stocking freight. its a nightmare. im def finding a new job asap i hate it there. Second week in still learning where to put stuff and such, i clock in go to sporting goods start working. i see a cart that has labeled boxes, all ive know so far is that if it has a label its to be put in the bins in the back i go to do that department manger gets off break freaks out at me for putting the stuff away, i said you need to relax im new here and i still dont know everything, well that went south bad. she expected me to read her mind. how am i suppose to know what you were doing before you're break 1hr before i even clock in. its so annoying. Also, im just ranting at this point cause i hate it, but every damn time i clock in there isnt any scanner or label printers cause they are all broke, except the managers. so i ask hey can i use this to get my work done, there response well i cant let you use this just go figure it out. Like WTF i cant label somthing or know if its new mod or overstock with out the scanner telling me. Also they put me in a department and i didnt even have access to the keys. So every time a customer comes, can i check that out. yeah sure let me radio a manager over here to unlock this. wait 10-15 mins nobody shows up customer gets all pissed at me then guess what its my fault. They want me to sell guns/ammo well since my department manager never has time im not allowed to handle guns cause i cant watch the videos and get the full training. that i need to be able to do that. its just a huge mess. go to target lol rant over
bunch of spelling errors but im mad. this is dumb. went from being a manger back in NY at a tire shop making close to 17 Per hr/ personal trainer on the side to moving here and dealing with this. Im not a dumb person i can work almost any job i just need to be shown and this isnt working out at all. Only took this job cause they called me back asap and i figured i could do it for awhile till i get my foot in another door somewhere better.
There was an info leak at my store and now it people are freaking out because it was revealed that they will be doing away with 3rd shift and in a few months we’d no longer be a 24 hour store. 2nd shift is also worried, because a lot of 3rd shift are long time workers and those of use who haven’t been there long are afraid of losing our jobs to make way for the best people from 3rd shift.
I'm @7030 in Pottsville PA. They hire anything. The production is threw the roof . I see guys with empty water bottles to piss in cause they don't get enough time on there trips to even us the restroom s. Now they just cut our schedule down to part time hrs. It such a horrible joke anymore
My manager explained it to me exactly like you would get pointed if you didn’t clock late.. you’d get a point I even stayed after the meeting to ask her.. she told me yes.. I’m a deli associate I told her I’m by myself in the deli I can’t leave until it’s done.. she told me I’d have to have a manager to approve it.. and it was total bullshit.. total.bullshit. She lied right to my face.. this whole policy change is stupid.. it takes atleast 7 weeks to get 8 hours of ppto if your full times.. they just don’t care about us.. great video
At this point, are any of us surprised they pulled a stunt like that? My team was so convinced we'd get a half point for clocking in even a minute early or clocking out a minute late. The day after the new policy was instated, I clocked in at 1:55 just to show them. It took a week of clocking out at 11:05 to prove to them they wouldn't get a point for clocking out late.
walmart has always used the timeclock and missing days to fire ya. i worked there 20 years ago.......however back then if the manager liked you or you was the managers snitch one could get away with absolute murder
I've been there 16 years at Walmart I live in a community where there is not too many jobs except for fast food and around here minimum wage is at 725 so Walmart is the only company that pays above minimum wage in this area I am pissed since I started bouncing my schedule and now the new policy is if I get sick I'll lose my bonus they'll take it away they act like they're going to give me a bonus if don't tell the news people that they're going to give us a bonus if we don't get sick but they're actually taken out bonuses away if we get sick this sucks
Thanks for this video. It puts it in perspective for us none WM employees. I am writing this in March 2020 so by now you know how layoffs of long time employees are being treated. No thank you, certainly no severance, just get out of here. The worst treatment of people i ever witnessed. So I truly hope you are gone by now.
Greg K I got out of there in July 2019. Glad I’m out. I honestly was just as stressed working at Walmart as I was when I was in an abusive relationship.
I new a lady who had over 12 points and because she was new just a few months they told her if she would transfer to cashier they would make her fulltime and take off all her points. I clock in 10 min. late and get 1/2 point even the cbl says more than 10 min. before you get points.
i worked at wally world for a week and was on overnight stock. well management decided to lock the front doors. so if there was ever a fire in the back we would be screwed . i just thought it was unsafe and quit. no job will pay me enough to put my life in danger. fuck that. so i quit
I don’t know how the doors are at Walmart since I never had to deal with them during my time there, but the doors where I works now are easy to unlock from the inside. Still, I agree. It’s unsafe.
Seems like more are getting fired now than before. It is a 9 minute, not 10. Clocking out late is not on the list. Used to be 15 minutes grace period. Not sure if it was more than 9 points. Nearly 10 years I am earning about the same as a new person.
If you do the math, having 48 hours ppto per year and 5 occurrences per 6 months before being terminated isn't a drastic change from 9 occurances. Those 48 hours can prevent 6 occurrences. If you are particularly accident prone or unhealthy and use up your sick days about as fast as you get them, that equals 8 occurrences (3 ppto in 3 months and 5 occurrences) instead of 9. If you're going to be upset about this new policy change, be angry that accruing any of those 5 occurrences cuts into your potential Myshare bonus. Corporate is spinning it to sound like they're rewarding people for their loyalty when in reality they're creating a dangerous and unfair work environment where people are getting paid less for choosing their personal health over Walmart's bottom dollar.
It isn't the fact that they've replaced the 9 points with PPTO, it's the fact that we don't have any PPTO to start with. And they implemented this at a time when the weather in our area fluctuates between warm and cold, leading a lot of people to get sick just as the changes were made.
@@LittleMissDeath True, we don't start with any PPTO, but we have been reset to zero occurrences. If we get sick, we can still call in (up to 4 times) and use PTO to pay for that lost day (but lose money from Myshare.)
I am only angry because I heard it on the news before I heard it at work and the GLM only explains PPTO, I hear rumor this - rumor that, what are the facts - what is excused and not excused, I will just throw my regular PTO on my check. We still have SEDWICK for any sickness longer than 3 or 4 days. It may not be easy to navigate but we do still have it!
Yeah your protection pto has to start at 0. So it's gonna take 2 months to gain one day. They also take most of your holidays too because they wanna cut us out. They cut our door greeters and moving in robots next week. You only get 4 days before getting fired. I'm in college and have watched multiple people pass away from cancer and walmart didn't give them a break for treatments or a man wife is dying at home and he has to be on call, they don't care. Been there 3 years and I hate everything about.
My store doesn't have any automation yet except 8 SCOs. There's hushed whispers about us getting an auto unloader and giant roombas. I don't like the thought of our maintenance crew being made obsolete, especially since most of them are old veterans.
I work at WalMORONS and they treat us like shit. They cut my hours from steady 40 hours per week to these stupid inconsistent schedules. Then they make it where each person on my team has to work 4 loooong hours by themselves until the next person shows up. That is so unfair to make one person do all the teamwork by themselves and still stay caught up. My store manager is mean and petty as hell. He is never appreciative for all our hard work and dedication to the business. Never once has he ever said thank you. I appreciate you or anything like that. I agree associates didn't come up with these dumbass policies. I have been trying to escape Walmart for years but can't find a better job with no luck. It's about time someone call Walmart out for their bullshit. This video hurt 12 feelings 😂😂.
Recently, one of the O/N ASMs switched to day shift and even though he’s a bit of hardass who likes to push us, he is appreciative and shows gratitude. He’s one of only 2 managers who does that.
@@LittleMissDeath We need more managers like that. By the way, managers here are super lazy. They don't look out for their customers like they should. If the store doesn't have shopping carts inside the building, managers won't bring their asses out there to help. Customers come in to shop and surprise surprise they have no carts to shop with. Managers will see that tragedy and won't have a care in the world. Walmart suck!!!!
Also i work here currently 8 or so months had to take r days off becuase i had no way to get there no money because my account got hacked and they said i had five points but 2 days got apporaoved off unpaid so 2 points shouldnt be there the points should be removed yes?
Your lucky to have stepped down. Now that csm has been eliminated and replaced by team lead and academy trainer if you are not awarded one of those positions you are given a severance package and your service is no longer needed
Here's a new one . PPTO lol . There was a bad snow storm just happened. So guys waited til the last hr n half of the scheduled shift and used there PPTO. About 38 people left (out of 68) . So the projected end changes now all these guys got hit with points and the PPTO protected nothing.
im currently sick and came to work sick. it was a mistake i was hot, dizzy, and so tired and in so much pain. thankfully i had a day off after the next day. im too scared to call out. Management was so vague about the new policy. they blatantly told us clocking out late earned us a half point. its now march 1st and ive been late clocking out since the new policy started because im the only closing cashier. no points that i know of. THEY LIIIEEEED. like wtf. Also management and cbl's made it seem like peak days fell on all weekends nd if you called out those days youd get 2 pts. i was afraid if i called out id get two points. i dont know what to do. this is the only place that pays enough that isnt a crappy call center, bmw or amazon. this is how this crappy company works. they take advantage of peoples misfortune from a bad economy dangle crap like $11hr, bonuses and pto to trap you to work for them! this company is run like a high school. they even did roll call during a fire drill to make sure we didnt just leave. i hate this place.
Welcome to reality Walmart, I used to work for them. The more you do the more they want and you still get criticized. When you're doing your job and you're not complaining hey, running what happened hey guys it's too quiet and you're doing your job they like to annoy you that's Walmart! Or the time clock I don't watch the clock, I love working but you get one minute earlier 1 minute over they mow you over like a lawn mower!
Speaking of walmart its a women that I know that has 2 kids that worked for walmart for 4 years and was Fired for no reason and Speaking of Retail don't Work for J cpenny even though it been years since I work there they also treat people like shit especially in the stock position.
They're Full of it, i currently work there. And all it does is create panic mode. I worked here for 6 years going on 7. I have a big problem with.... you have to be on time on the dot no matter what or you get a point. What if I do get there on time and there is a line at the clock. Like there always is, And im late.. or computer not working at this station.. and I have to go to another and by the time I get there I'm late. Total bs.
JR Black Lol they tried telling us that too. I found out real quick that it was bullshit. I clock in anywhere between 5 minutes early to 5 minutes late every day and I haven’t gotten a single point. They just want to play with scare tactics and it didn’t work at my store, mostly because I question authority and push the limits. 😊
Wow, Walmart learns so much from their associates that they make their stores worse after hearing associate feedback. Walmart really is "That Place" lol. I feel so radicalized and leaning to the left now. Thanks Walmart for encouraging me to consider socialism. :D I love it.
In the words of the Violent Femmes, I'm nothing. My political views don't sway one way or another. What I care about are people. And Walmart is screwing over the people.
That one downvote is from Home Office. 😂
Two more! My SM and MM must have found the video!
So can you transfer with 2 1/2 points or ?
Mahogney Dawson I’m not sure about points affecting transfers. I know coaching do. I would talk to personnel about it.
I just got fired today. Tried to use my ppto but apparently I done it wrong and used up my last point...
C- Breezy open door it
I hate this new Walmart policy I can't take it no more I'm so close to quit it's driving me crazy
You're not alone. But don't give in. That's what they want.
If u can, go for it. For me, I'm stuck till 2020. Lol But if things goes bad, then screw it I'll quit if i have too. I'm fortunate ryt now because I have a decent store manager, and they are flexible with my schedule since I'm part time.
@@LittleMissDeath We had an assistant manager that used to work at our store predict this back in 2015, He said they will change the attendance policy for the worse he then said they don't want longtime associates they just want new-hires that's all they want, Then once those new-hires get up to 4 or more years look for more new-hires and so forth and so on, And you are right no associate said YEAH I JUST WANT FIVE FUCK NINE THAT'S TOO MUCH hah.

Sam Walton is rolling over in his grave
He's been doing that for years
Lynn Joseph...WAKE-UP...SAM WALTON started the CIA in 1941....with DONALD RUMSFELD and JOHN TRUMP...Donald's uncle ....your bubble needed popping !
Waltons are greedy though, they have donated 0 to charities
Sam Walton cared about his customers and associates right now he is saying I should have taken my company to the grave with me they have ruined the empire I have worked so hard to build.
YOU ARE SO RIGHT!! I was a temp for 7 mos and 5 days. I was called to the ARC room after lunch and let go on the spot! I was the ONLY employee in my dept that NEVER called off worked with a fractured shoulder AND A CONCUSSION which affected me greatly!!! Also did more work than most of the others AND the customers LOVED AND APPRECIATED ME but not Walmart!!! I LOVE PEOPLE!!! I however can not drive at night down a long road with NO street lights so that was the "REASON" I was let go. Because I can't see to drive at night. NOT MY CHOICE. I CAN NOT SEE!!!! They don't care if I hurt or killed someone due to this disability or I were to die because I drove when I can't!!! Btw my fall happened at work. Hmmmmm.....I wasn't over my concussion until sometime in late Dec. Was let go in November
This is horrible! Not shopping there anymore! OMG!! How is this company still in business?
I hope they loose everything by the way Walton's dont own them anyways tear them down I don't want them to just suffer I want the whole goddamn brand tarnished and ruined
I worked at this hell hole for 2 dreadful years until I threatened corporate offices and they fired me they deserve every bit of what's coming to them
That's why I got the hell out of there last year. I currently work in I.T. Wal-Mart is a horrible company to work for. The favortism, unrealistic expectations, poor management, etc...i wish you luck..get out while you have a chance baby girl!!!
I'm working on it! The past couple of weeks have been rough. I've contemplated quitting so many times I've lost count.
IAmDeath ditto I work there myself I been putting in hella applications
Same i just quit last week
I worked at Walmart as my first job and i was fired for being one minute late and yet there’s people who come 15 minutes late or take like 2 hour lunch break and yet still aren’t fired but the person who comes one minute late gets fired

Walmart is the worst evil place to work
I feel like that title belongs to Amazon now.
the associates they worked with were managers. most of whom only work 4 days a week have plenty of vacation time and other managers to switch with when they have an emergency. Our managers blame lack of people on call offs, but it is a lack of hiring and constant harassment and increasingly heavy work loads and lack of security, not to mention the favoritism (we counted a "pets" call offs they exceeded termination twice over) false accusations, discrimination. you name it. the open door policy is worthless. I dont know how it is in other stores, but the "pets" who get points erased magically, or perfect attendance associates in our store do not do anything to contribute to the profits. By the way, i am long term lifer and among other lifers who are furious about how this policy change was implemented.
I have one manager who has compassion and actually likes me enough to help me out when I'm in a rut. She's currently on LOA. Now I'm sick, on my 2nd point and honestly I doubt Sedgwick will work with me. They don't seem to work with anyone at my store. I probably won't make it to March if I don't get better soon.
YOU earn less PTO time and PPTO is a complete fucking joke, seriously for this year I WAS looking forward to earning almost 6hours of PTO per pay period but SADLY now Im earning 1.2hrs per payperiod because the other 1.45hrs go to PPTO but even if you total that OUT it does not come out to what I was supposed to earn, even one of the coordinators in personnel had the audacity to tell me I have to work TWICE as MORE hours just to even make ends meet but how is that even possible!? they have me working 40 fucking hours a week there is no more than that because we are not allowed to get OVER time seriously as a part time associate how am I even making 40 hours, how the fucking HELL do they get away with so many of these violations, OH and dont even bother going to complain to the WORK force agencies or even labor departments there a complete JOKE and you'll only end up making an ass of yourself at the most or worst make yourself look bad, these agencies are spineless and don't really do anything other than siphoning our HARD earned RAPED TAX dollars at giving cushy job to a couple of old fuckers with nothing better to do than ostracizing the common folk that DONT have a job when theirs is even WORTH the title of WORK.
I can tell you as a former employee, that this is very true. In the span of three months, they hit me with 4 1/2 points against me, one of those points was for clocking out a minute late on a five hour shift. Then they tried to accuse me of starting an argument with a customer, needless to say I quit on that day. Walmart cares about profits and do not now or will ever care about associates, period...
When I was still working there, they didn't give points or occurrences for clocking out late. I'm glad I'm gone lol,
When I started with Walmart, almost 25 years ago, you got seven approved absences every six months. No point system. Any absences over that were unapproved, and you were terminated at four unapproved abscenses. They would take a doctor's note as approved after the seventh call off, because if you were willing to pay the doctor, you were actually sick. Attendance was much better back then, but so was morale. It was actually a decent place to work. I'm only there for the insurance now, certainly not because I love my job.
I also think this new policy sucks. Even if you are sick and had a Dr note, you still get a point. Can't call in for vacation day without getting a point. I, too want out and tired of all the stupidity.
Whew..My wife got out of Wal Mart in time!...She worked there for 27 years and then retired...I wouldn't let her work there today!
I feel this way very deeply! This is the worst company I worked for in my life! Wanted out of working for wal mart for so long, been hard due to the state I live in minum wage is only 8.75 an hour! I hate wal mart! I hate working for this company! Worst ever! Horrible! Thank you for posting this video, thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing your honest views! When I posted this, I was afraid the shills would flock in and try to put me down for everything I said. Glad to see that hasn't happened (yet.)
ORANGECRUSH Simple, move up in the company or get another job.
Everything you said is unfortunately true.
Our management doesn't tell new hires that they get two UNINTERRUPTED breaks, just that they get two breaks. So they get people to do customer service during break, and they just go back and finish the time they had left. That's not how it works. If they interrupt your break for any reason, you start it over at minute one. So many employees don't know that.
Our managers don’t either. And if they or someone else interrupts our breaks and we restart our breaks, they get all bitchy about it.
This is one of many reasons I refuse to shop at Walmart
I work at walmart and it’s like a time ticking bomb to when u will get fired from nothing
They should just get rid of the point system altogether if they want to keep their employees
Or keep points but allow doctors notes to remove points that would of been 1000x more fair honestly if they accept doctors notes but kept points i can at least understand 100% them wanting ya to get punished to stay up night with your friends *and i am not talking about COVID WHERE THEY HAVE TO LET U STAY HOME IF SICK BECAUSE OF LAWS til vaccine is widely distributed to public* I can 100% guarantee you they won't accept doctors notes and stop doing temp checks when vaccine is widely available and u don't have to go out of your way anymore to get it. Which means you will once again be penalized for being sick again when covid is over if it ends.
The new policy is a lie. Associates will be forced to work a full year before it even becomes useful without missing a day. Everyone has 0 ppto. During the worst time of year. Even perfect attendance IF they get a profit share at all, the dollar amount spent is tiny. The amount going into pockets of shareholders being taken away from associates is millions. All associates literally can't get sick, cant get flat tire, cant stay home when school close for snow, until they make enough PPTO at 1.3hour a week. Every year 0 if you don't let it add up. The publicity and making it sound like it's great and it wouldn't be bad if there was protected from day one or even permitting it from our regular earned PTO at a max of 48. But it isn't. It's seperator. May will lose jobs simply because it's complicated and WAlmart is not explaining everything like that part no-one has any available time. No-one can miss more than 4 days in rolling 6 months without losing job, schools have more snow days, factories have better policies and the actually have down time. WAlmart does not, no holidays, you aren't allowed to get sick but are exposed to violence often, virus , flu, cold, measles, ecoli, you name it. What Wal-Mart's doing is attempting to scam the public.
Damn right! I woke up with a soar throat and sinus infection, signs that I either have a cold or the flu and I'm already wishing for death. I can't call out. All I can do is suffer and hope I take as many managers and customers down with me as possible. Fuck em all.
god forbid anyone get in a traffic accident and cant call in 3 points that minute and get awoke in hospital call off but less than 3 days released with 4 points and lose myshare. that could happen to even those with perfect attendance who been there 30 years or even fired @@LittleMissDeath
Sam Walton would not stand for the way associates are treated today.
Sam Walton is to Walmart what Colonel Sanders is to KFC. A figurehead, a caricature, dead and gone and 100% open for manipulation. Both men had a passion. Both companies have crushed their original product or promise. Such is the American way.
I worked at Wal-Mart in Andalusia they would not approve my time off for a week when I had pneumonia. I had a fever of 103. Then they fired me over one half a currence.
That's SO messed up! Trust me, you're better off. I'm glad you're doing better.
Couldn’t agree more with this
😆 I can't stand Walmart
At this point being homeless would be better. Even goin to jail would be better this place makes me want to die
My neighborhood market is moving stocking to days only, no longer nights. So now we have to work around these customers during the day getting in the way of the stocking on top of them asking to show where certain merchandise is. I'm out of Walmart after that one
Welcome to life on CAP 2. It's all downhill from here.
They screwed us no doubt. Their goal is to get rid of full time employees.
Obviously.I worked for Walmart for 3 years as a part time associate and they still never made me full time even though i asked (quite a few times).At the time i was getting 40 hours a week and now im barely getting 30 a week. They say theres not enough hours. (Sure there isnt.)
This new policy cannot be legal.
Sadly, there are very few laws that actually protect the worker. Nearly everything is in favor of the employer.
@@LittleMissDeath That or the courts are hushed because they are being paid first-hand by Walmarts Corporation to shut its mouth.

Place is a joke
Its worse than you think! I found out that they no longer have an open door policy.. A 3rd party is paid by walmart to police the sorry asses that pay them... I've been with this company since 2007.. I was made to.miss my only child's graduation or be fired... I've witnessed the death of a handicapped assoc .. I've seen assoc go to lunch and come back bleeding from attempted suicide.. I've seen associates be successful in suicide. I've witnessed managers crying historically on the nasty floor of the restroom. I've have dark thoughts myself recently. This situation is absolutely NO JOKE! I pray a lawyer gets involved (class action) before those of us that can testify to personal knowledge of wrongdoings- pass away! To my associate family, "I would carry your pain if I didn't have my own. I love you and I'm so sorry we all bought into the bullshit during orientation!" This feels like a cult...I DAMN SURE KNOW ABOUT THAT..I escaped one..but jumped into another! I'm at 1124 now. Please don't make the mistake I made!
I have worked for Walmart 16 years and can't wait 3 years to retire when they raised the wage to 11 I got nothing because I made more than that. Then they went to 12 and I got nothing because I make 12.32 now they raised deli and bakery to 15 I got nothing because I don't work in those departments. They give raises to new hires who spend most of the day hiding or on their phones. I take 2 to 3 shopping carts of trash to the back by myself and the end of my shift while the new hires it takes 3 employees to take 1 cart to the back. Walmart wants to get rid of the old timers and hire young lazy kids who can't work weekends or evening or holidays and that's ok but us who been there for ever never get weekend and holidays off.
I was wrongly terminated from the store I worked at and accused of theft, I was awarded my unemployment, got payed all my back unemployment and Still drawing my unemployment until I find another job! Keep putting up the good fight against this horrible company! The experience I had was horrible I don’t wish it on anyone! Omg!!
Holy hell did you predict the future...I was just fired for having 4 attendance points...after I found a legit error of 1 point & brought it up to my lead. Now Walmart is appealing my unemployment determination because they claim that my violation of attendance policy is a misconduct issue so that they don't have to pay my unemployment. Also, the last bit you said about wanting out & wanting more from life really hit me in the feels, because that's where I am at too. Hope things are going better for you now.
I still scope out the Walmart subreddit from time to time and it sounds worse now than when I was working there.
My store manager was supposed to come in at five A.M. to do a meeting with the third shifters and he came strolling in at 7:10 when we were all clocked out. Didn't do the meeting, didn't do a lot of meetings with the dayshift then he went on vacation. At least it saved us from getting the wrong information I guess.
Yeah my store manager is notorious vacation days pulse where reward for workers who do most of work at? Because that should be most rewarded
no meeting for us, pointed to cbl refused printout which is not same as cbl, and contains more details.
Lol I love it. I did a vid on my channel but yours is raw. Definitely liked and subbed
Thank you! This is what happens when I'm left alone with my own thoughts and a voice recorder app lol
I wish customers would stop shopping there because of how the treat the associates my family has stopped shopping there I hate working there I've been there 23 years and I have been screwed so many times and wasted all those years I'm kicking myself for letting myself go through it it's like a bad marriage I was a customer service manager and stepped down because of how management treated me they cut me 3.00 a hour that hurt now I just need to leave cut my losses
Well said. I got hired as a part-time person at first but always got 40 hours I got pregnant and had a c-section and Wal-Mart refused to pay me maternity leave because I wasn't HIRED as a full time associate even though I worked full time hours so I had no income coming in during that time. 6 months pregnant they had me pushing carts one day. And my last day before I gave birth 9 months pregnant gave me a pallet of microwaves. Then I got a dept manager job in stationary, party supplies seasonal but now they are getting rid of the dept managers job and going to team leads and now I'm a associate again. I see this has been a year so hopefully your out of there by now. I'm trying to and feel your pain. EVERYTHING you said is true, the place is a total shit hole
I used ppto for an injury, used sick/other and was hit with a point even though it's authorized. Went to HR and they refused to fix it stated I did not go to the bottom of walmartone and use sick/other there as well. The printout on walmartone says nothing you need to do besides go to global, use ppto and it has to cover your entire shift.
Wal-Mart is trying to keep up with Amazon.... Good luck with that Wal-Mart! Our store has a 96% turnover rate.... Something they don't like talking about!
My store turn over rate hit 100% work for a rough store.
Rofl!! 44 points!!!! I remember associates like that!!!!
The changes make this company worse! This company needs to go out of business soon!
So true. I work at Walmart as a Team associate. The new people they're hiring now are school kids. Half of them don't show up for work. If they do. All they do is stand and watch videos on their phones. All the hard workers are leaving for Amazon or other companies paying more money.
They worked with employees to come up with this policy?... I heard it on the news before I was informed at work and I am full time. I have had perfect attendance for almost two years. Still, when I ask a question, HR said did you do your GLM, uh yea but it didn't explain this policy.
KEEP your chin up, girl. You can re train your brain from the "One Best Way" and find a career instead of a position of a mule! I hear it in your voice.
I have 0 intention of staying at Walmart. The career I want is one that I really have to grind for, but I'll be damned if I become a lifer at a shitty corporation.
i am right at 5 points but they haven't said anything me yet and i had this for a while now .... if they let me slide till August i will be fine .... tho i doubt i will be fired anytime soon since there are people in my store with 7 points 6 points even 9 points and still working there. i have talked to them about they said they will take a look at it so they know i have 5 points .... so this tells me they are not in no rush to fire me more likely because inventory is coming up and we are soo under staff right now... this might be why they are tolerating it ....
I'm praying for you that you can find something decent what's better pay cuz there's nothing worse than working at a job that doesn't really appreciate their employees and it's kind of weird that they're not letting you have 40 hours I went through the same thing when I worked at Kroger's and I had to put up with a bunch of BS working all different hours being a single mother so I know how it feels to not get respected and treated good at a job and the worst thing about working there and she only got 15 minute lunch break and you practically had to break your neck to get back to work to clock in and that's just sad cuz there's not a whole lot you can do in 15 minutes
I work in the gloversville ny store and no one is happy anymore , everyone is being crapped on by this huge company and no one has the enthusiasm anymore because you just never know when your job is going to be gone can I have the same time we're paying our CEO 24 million dollars a year this is not what this company was meant to be and they're turning everyone away hoping for the day robots take overbut I have a feeling they're going to see that a lot of people are going to just start shopping elsewhere because they don't like seeing people get crapped on at Walmart.
Business Isn't safe It’s happening at my old store. Even on days that are normally busy, the store is dead. A lot of people in the area are just straight up boycotting it.
Do you really expect benefits from Wal-Mart? LOL the good days are over...
Damn 44 points? Dude was riding that wave!
Brittany Painter He was one of our best unloaders and fastest workers.

They are not leaving the floor early, if they want to be cheap and make it hard on you to survive! You should not stay over and dont care about finishing!
Especially when they give you 2.5 hrs to stock three truck loads of shit. And you're supposed to be done with you aisle by lunch which is 3am, and it takes an hr to an hr and a half to down stack, it's like we are truly fucking robots, and on top of that they now give associates 3 or 4 aisles to zone from 5am to 7am which is fucking insane, so I agree with you
Lol, i work at walmart for almost 6 years , and this new attendance policy is B.S.. 125% bonus doesnt help at all. They make it sounds a huge great of deal to associates. Cant call out as often as I used too lol
I think our last MyShare was $50. It means nothing to us anymore.
When you call off for the first time under the new system, you'll only be allowed 3 more call offs for the next six months and 1 tardy or early out. They're also going to chop our my share depending on how many points you have when the my shares are given out. If you have 4, you'll get nothing.
Jayce241 It’s simple. Quit your job and go find somewhere else to work. No one is forcing you stay. This is not high school where you can play hooky, and get talked to by your counselor. If you don’t take your job serious to where you needed “9” points to call off then you need to grow up.
@@Gt3ricky who said this was HS? Ur only replying to me out of my personal opinion, but u don't see how this affect other employees besides me. I highly doubt u knew some of the changes walmart did.

@@LittleMissDeath I told some of the people I've work with about what happen to those other stores who earn less myshare. +25% just won't help it if the store earn ex:$25. It's sad for those loyal employees who have hard time maintaining their attendance for personal reason/issue.

Can't stand working for Walmart
I started with Walmart in 2006 and left in 2014 but came back for a little while. When they went to this new absence policy I figured it was better to stay away from walmart. I remember when we all knew how many absences we had. We knew when they feel off.
I can't even call in at all anymore for legit reasons. I have to go to school and I sometimes have to unexpectantly call in and this is so inconvenient having to work out my school schedule with everything now because that's why I started working there in the first place because it used to be so convient
I’m currently out on FMLA. Hopefully Sedgwick approved it because I’m fired if they don’t lol. But at this point, I don’t care. If they fire me, I’ll be more than happy. In fact, I recently told a few coworkers that when I quit or if I get fired, I’m going to throw a huge party and we’re all getting wasted.

I am currently working at Amazon started in November 2018 pay is $16/hour .I was working full time at walmart and became part time soon I start working for Amazon. I will quit walmart soon this summer coming up.
Pay is alright especially compared to walmart but tbh you went from one shitty company to work for to another, they're both evil af lol
My health comes first as anyone who works at Walmart. All these germs that are passed along from customers coming in not properly sanitized or even still sick is one of the things why employees call in.
i was made a full time in less than 24hr, literally my first day manger was like yo we need people you wanna work every department. i was like sure if you show me how. so here i am 3 week in hate it cause nobody teaches me anything. cant even watch the videos cause every time i go to i get yelled at for not stocking freight. its a nightmare. im def finding a new job asap i hate it there. Second week in still learning where to put stuff and such, i clock in go to sporting goods start working. i see a cart that has labeled boxes, all ive know so far is that if it has a label its to be put in the bins in the back i go to do that department manger gets off break freaks out at me for putting the stuff away, i said you need to relax im new here and i still dont know everything, well that went south bad. she expected me to read her mind. how am i suppose to know what you were doing before you're break 1hr before i even clock in. its so annoying. Also, im just ranting at this point cause i hate it, but every damn time i clock in there isnt any scanner or label printers cause they are all broke, except the managers. so i ask hey can i use this to get my work done, there response well i cant let you use this just go figure it out. Like WTF i cant label somthing or know if its new mod or overstock with out the scanner telling me. Also they put me in a department and i didnt even have access to the keys. So every time a customer comes, can i check that out. yeah sure let me radio a manager over here to unlock this. wait 10-15 mins nobody shows up customer gets all pissed at me then guess what its my fault. They want me to sell guns/ammo well since my department manager never has time im not allowed to handle guns cause i cant watch the videos and get the full training. that i need to be able to do that. its just a huge mess. go to target lol rant over
bunch of spelling errors but im mad. this is dumb. went from being a manger back in NY at a tire shop making close to 17 Per hr/ personal trainer on the side to moving here and dealing with this. Im not a dumb person i can work almost any job i just need to be shown and this isnt working out at all. Only took this job cause they called me back asap and i figured i could do it for awhile till i get my foot in another door somewhere better.
I work 3rd shift.. I agree with this shit..
There was an info leak at my store and now it people are freaking out because it was revealed that they will be doing away with 3rd shift and in a few months we’d no longer be a 24 hour store. 2nd shift is also worried, because a lot of 3rd shift are long time workers and those of use who haven’t been there long are afraid of losing our jobs to make way for the best people from 3rd shift.

We've been told it's hard to get into the DC. Some people at my store said they've tried for years.
I'm @7030 in Pottsville PA. They hire anything. The production is threw the roof . I see guys with empty water bottles to piss in cause they don't get enough time on there trips to even us the restroom s. Now they just cut our schedule down to part time hrs. It such a horrible joke anymore
Man, that's a lot different from the stories my friend was telling about our DC...
@@LittleMissDeath which dc
My manager explained it to me exactly like you would get pointed if you didn’t clock late.. you’d get a point I even stayed after the meeting to ask her.. she told me yes.. I’m a deli associate I told her I’m by myself in the deli I can’t leave until it’s done.. she told me I’d have to have a manager to approve it.. and it was total bullshit.. total.bullshit. She lied right to my face.. this whole policy change is stupid.. it takes atleast 7 weeks to get 8 hours of ppto if your full times.. they just don’t care about us.. great video
At this point, are any of us surprised they pulled a stunt like that? My team was so convinced we'd get a half point for clocking in even a minute early or clocking out a minute late. The day after the new policy was instated, I clocked in at 1:55 just to show them. It took a week of clocking out at 11:05 to prove to them they wouldn't get a point for clocking out late.
walmart has always used the timeclock and missing days to fire ya. i worked there 20 years ago.......however back then if the manager liked you or you was the managers snitch one could get away with absolute murder
I used to work there
I've been there 16 years at Walmart I live in a community where there is not too many jobs except for fast food and around here minimum wage is at 725 so Walmart is the only company that pays above minimum wage in this area I am pissed since I started bouncing my schedule and now the new policy is if I get sick I'll lose my bonus they'll take it away they act like they're going to give me a bonus if don't tell the news people that they're going to give us a bonus if we don't get sick but they're actually taken out bonuses away if we get sick this sucks
Thanks for this video. It puts it in perspective for us none WM employees. I am writing this in March 2020 so by now you know how layoffs of long time employees are being treated. No thank you, certainly no severance, just get out of here. The worst treatment of people i ever witnessed. So I truly hope you are gone by now.
Greg K I got out of there in July 2019. Glad I’m out. I honestly was just as stressed working at Walmart as I was when I was in an abusive relationship.
My store treat people exactly like that...i dont let anbody slave drive me...after your there a while they find new people to fuck with and pick on
I new a lady who had over 12 points and because she was new just a few months they told her if she would transfer to cashier they would make her fulltime and take off all her points. I clock in 10 min. late and get 1/2 point even the cbl says more than 10 min. before you get points.
i worked at wally world for a week and was on overnight stock. well management decided to lock the front doors. so if there was ever a fire in the back we would be screwed . i just thought it was unsafe and quit. no job will pay me enough to put my life in danger. fuck that. so i quit
I don’t know how the doors are at Walmart since I never had to deal with them during my time there, but the doors where I works now are easy to unlock from the inside. Still, I agree. It’s unsafe.
I lasted 3 days and I quit fuck Walmart are you still working there?
Seems like more are getting fired now than before. It is a 9 minute, not 10. Clocking out late is not on the list. Used to be 15 minutes grace period. Not sure if it was more than 9 points. Nearly 10 years I am earning about the same as a new person.
If you do the math, having 48 hours ppto per year and 5 occurrences per 6 months before being terminated isn't a drastic change from 9 occurances. Those 48 hours can prevent 6 occurrences. If you are particularly accident prone or unhealthy and use up your sick days about as fast as you get them, that equals 8 occurrences (3 ppto in 3 months and 5 occurrences) instead of 9. If you're going to be upset about this new policy change, be angry that accruing any of those 5 occurrences cuts into your potential Myshare bonus. Corporate is spinning it to sound like they're rewarding people for their loyalty when in reality they're creating a dangerous and unfair work environment where people are getting paid less for choosing their personal health over Walmart's bottom dollar.
It isn't the fact that they've replaced the 9 points with PPTO, it's the fact that we don't have any PPTO to start with. And they implemented this at a time when the weather in our area fluctuates between warm and cold, leading a lot of people to get sick just as the changes were made.
@@LittleMissDeath True, we don't start with any PPTO, but we have been reset to zero occurrences. If we get sick, we can still call in (up to 4 times) and use PTO to pay for that lost day (but lose money from Myshare.)
I am only angry because I heard it on the news before I heard it at work and the GLM only explains PPTO, I hear rumor this - rumor that, what are the facts - what is excused and not excused, I will just throw my regular PTO on my check. We still have SEDWICK for any sickness longer than 3 or 4 days. It may not be easy to navigate but we do still have it!
HoboGod takes two months to get 8hrs ppto
Yeah your protection pto has to start at 0. So it's gonna take 2 months to gain one day. They also take most of your holidays too because they wanna cut us out. They cut our door greeters and moving in robots next week. You only get 4 days before getting fired. I'm in college and have watched multiple people pass away from cancer and walmart didn't give them a break for treatments or a man wife is dying at home and he has to be on call, they don't care. Been there 3 years and I hate everything about.
My store doesn't have any automation yet except 8 SCOs. There's hushed whispers about us getting an auto unloader and giant roombas. I don't like the thought of our maintenance crew being made obsolete, especially since most of them are old veterans.
I worked there for 13 years an your telling the absolute truth
You deserve so much better than what Walmart has to offer.
I work at WalMORONS and they treat us like shit. They cut my hours from steady 40 hours per week to these stupid inconsistent schedules. Then they make it where each person on my team has to work 4 loooong hours by themselves until the next person shows up. That is so unfair to make one person do all the teamwork by themselves and still stay caught up. My store manager is mean and petty as hell. He is never appreciative for all our hard work and dedication to the business. Never once has he ever said thank you. I appreciate you or anything like that. I agree associates didn't come up with these dumbass policies. I have been trying to escape Walmart for years but can't find a better job with no luck. It's about time someone call Walmart out for their bullshit. This video hurt 12 feelings 😂😂.
Recently, one of the O/N ASMs switched to day shift and even though he’s a bit of hardass who likes to push us, he is appreciative and shows gratitude. He’s one of only 2 managers who does that.
@@LittleMissDeath We need more managers like that. By the way, managers here are super lazy. They don't look out for their customers like they should. If the store doesn't have shopping carts inside the building, managers won't bring their asses out there to help. Customers come in to shop and surprise surprise they have no carts to shop with. Managers will see that tragedy and won't have a care in the world. Walmart suck!!!!
And they have the audacity to blame the associates.
@@LittleMissDeath Exactly. They always do that crap.
I'm sorry about your experience!
How come every time I see the Walmart spark I think of the mark of the beast.
Damn bro. I clocked out a min late yesterday. I gotta check my points yeeeeeeshhh. Its my 4th day in deli. I was busy
Welcome to the absolute bottom of the Walmart barrel btw
Also i work here currently 8 or so months had to take r days off becuase i had no way to get there no money because my account got hacked and they said i had five points but 2 days got apporaoved off unpaid so 2 points shouldnt be there the points should be removed yes?
There protection plans are ass they gave me half of my money back for my 55” inch TV & the warranty was suppose to cover spills & drops
They remodel (self check) beware...then cut the jobs. They demoted me. Csm to service desk if i want. Lol. Was there nine years. I am leaving.
Fuck em. You can and will do better.
Your lucky to have stepped down. Now that csm has been eliminated and replaced by team lead and academy trainer if you are not awarded one of those positions you are given a severance package and your service is no longer needed
Here's a new one . PPTO lol . There was a bad snow storm just happened. So guys waited til the last hr n half of the scheduled shift and used there PPTO. About 38 people left (out of 68) . So the projected end changes now all these guys got hit with points and the PPTO protected nothing.
im currently sick and came to work sick. it was a mistake i was hot, dizzy, and so tired and in so much pain. thankfully i had a day off after the next day. im too scared to call out. Management was so vague about the new policy. they blatantly told us clocking out late earned us a half point. its now march 1st and ive been late clocking out since the new policy started because im the only closing cashier. no points that i know of. THEY LIIIEEEED. like wtf. Also management and cbl's made it seem like peak days fell on all weekends nd if you called out those days youd get 2 pts. i was afraid if i called out id get two points. i dont know what to do. this is the only place that pays enough that isnt a crappy call center, bmw or amazon. this is how this crappy company works. they take advantage of peoples misfortune from a bad economy dangle crap like $11hr, bonuses and pto to trap you to work for them! this company is run like a high school. they even did roll call during a fire drill to make sure we didnt just leave. i hate this place.
Welcome to reality Walmart, I used to work for them. The more you do the more they want and you still get criticized. When you're doing your job and you're not complaining hey, running what happened hey guys it's too quiet and you're doing your job they like to annoy you that's Walmart! Or the time clock I don't watch the clock, I love working but you get one minute earlier 1 minute over they mow you over like a lawn mower!
Speaking of walmart its a women that I know that has 2 kids that worked for walmart for 4 years and was Fired for no reason and Speaking of Retail don't Work for J cpenny even though it been years since I work there they also treat people like shit especially in the stock position.
I wish I saw this video before I joined
They're Full of it, i currently work there. And all it does is create panic mode. I worked here for 6 years going on 7. I have a big problem with.... you have to be on time on the dot no matter what or you get a point. What if I do get there on time and there is a line at the clock. Like there always is, And im late.. or computer not working at this station.. and I have to go to another and by the time I get there I'm late. Total bs.
There's still a 9 minute grace period.
IAmDeath Not what we were told..lolz
JR Black Lol they tried telling us that too. I found out real quick that it was bullshit. I clock in anywhere between 5 minutes early to 5 minutes late every day and I haven’t gotten a single point. They just want to play with scare tactics and it didn’t work at my store, mostly because I question authority and push the limits. 😊
IAmDeath Ah.. well that is good to know, i will look in to that most definitely. Thank you.. and I enjoyed your vid.
JR Black Any time! And thank you!
Restructuring is currently the death of Walmart
Thank god i got out 7months ago!
Damn! 44 points! Wtf
You hit the nail on the head robot's are next I saw one on a t mobile commercial
Wow, Walmart learns so much from their associates that they make their stores worse after hearing associate feedback. Walmart really is "That Place" lol. I feel so radicalized and leaning to the left now. Thanks Walmart for encouraging me to consider socialism. :D I love it.
In the words of the Violent Femmes, I'm nothing. My political views don't sway one way or another. What I care about are people. And Walmart is screwing over the people.
if u use protected pto will u still get charged a point?
Only if you try to use it for a day you called out.
Damn I thought that was it was used for lol
Once you call out, you have 7 days to use your ppto. As long as you have 8 hours of ppto, you should be good.
This company is some BS
