Some observations/comments on my part.....
Working for WM has become a one-way street where they now take and take and take. I would be amused at every year begin meeting (YBM) where someone in leadership would inevitably say "We're going to do more with less." Aka, less pay raises, less promotions and doing the job of another 1/2 person on top of what you were already doing because they can't get budget approved for another hire.
I always despised when $#!t was going bad or morale was low that leadership would pull out old Mr. Sam videos and quotes to try to motivate you. Mr. Sam passed away in 1992 and the company was never the same afterward. Ask those that worked before and after 1992 and they will tell you the leadership mentality changed drastically. Stop it. Motivate people by showing you actually care about the associate. I felt just like a number after Project Harvest back in 2008/2009.
The Wal-Mart cheer. Dump it. It's become an embarrassment to the company. I did what I could to not have to do it. It's done half-heartedly in today's HO working environment. Enough said.
You can pretty much judge a company when their executive parking spots are closer to the entrances than the handicapped parking spots!!!!
Oh yeah.... Associate vs. Employee. Making us associates makes us sound like actual valued members of the team. /s
The new work environment/culture has become so toxic that stress, dysfunction, fear of losing your job by being railroaded on your eval is now the norm. You now get paid to do a job. Not to care.
