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 stressful for me. Literally not a day went by that was not enormously stressful. Even the situations that didn't have to be stressful were made stressful by my superior.

Yes absolutely. What retail sector works in metrics?
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. They keep hiring and hiring and no one stays but yet when they ask why people quit, they fail to listen to the truth. Pushing people way over their limits while the same people keep doing the job of 6 and the same people keep calling in and getting away with it. No accountability for attendance, no accountability for anything. And they wonder why people quit. But they don't want to hear the truth, they keep pushing it under the rug. Wake up Walmart, there are other companies hiring in the world. So many people are fed up with the favoritism and poor treatment.
Yes, you’re definitely an expert. Six whole years in the retail sector!! You should be a highly paid employment consultant.
Dealing with the public will do that to you.
It's the same when you've worked at any place about that long.
