Thread regarding Walmart layoffs

Self checkout associates will be layout?

The old associates are the better workers. They have Walmart culture and they care about the store, the associates, and the customers. A lot of the new people are always calling out or quitting. Good luck Walmart.

The assessments are for lead/cta positions under the new gwp restructure. The expectation is that our leads and associates will be able to operate the new technology and systems. They will also need to be more self sufficient when it comes to the tasks normally placed on People Lead and assistant managers.

What changes are in near future for self checkout associates?

@ 3kzo, I'm happy you've found something better to go to, but I'm calling b.s. on that night manager claiming 'it's the store manager's order' that she has to 'get rid of' hourly associates. Her fattened up bonus from less pay roll expense is the the REAL culprit.

yes! Walmart is getting rid of older employees, My overnight Mgr. the other night said she would have to get rid of some of the employees on nights per store Mgr. That is why I am leaving for a better job without a notice I going to screw them as they have me, one to many times! The old saying is if its not broke don't fix it!

Walmart store#3869 Richmond, Va the store manager always says if any body want to leave go ahead leave I'm not stop any one. He tried to kick the old people out so replace them. He said to closed associate the market m would like to replace the old people by young. He said I need new blood. That's why all of us mad.

Not all jobs are affected. Basically they are re-arranging all duties. I'm old and I keep up with technology, etc. I received a Lead position.

Most people will receive a pay cut!

You have a lot of reading to do on this website if you think Walmart cares!

New to me, but I can easily believe it. And yes, it is 100% aimed at weeding out 'old' employees. .. But no, there very likely is nothing to be done about it. If WM is smart, they'll consistently have employees of all ages screened—in so doing they'll lose some of the younger, less paid crew. But without a contract employers can and will screw you as much as they want. In this instance, they legally are covered, 'Well, your Honor, my client simply wants the best trained and most capable employees their money can buy.' Case closed.

I feel bad for your mom and all the other long timers of Walfart. That company truly s—s now.

The days of Walmart caring are over!
