I really don’t know if it’s worth working here anymore. When health starts to be threatened, then it is too late.
Is there any position at Walmart now where employees are not expected to work for several people?
I'm afraid there aren't any and Walmart will continue to burden us until there are only those left here who can withstand so much workload for miserable paycheck.
Our team manager never works the shift that our crew does. We may see him for 30 minutes before they leave for the day or we may see him for 30 minutes before he comes in for the night shift. Hard to follow any directions when your manager is never around. We just do our job and go home.
More like some people have no clue what it takes to run a business, especially when the workers are pretty much at the bottom of the hiring pool. Sometimes, businesses need to put measures in place to create some kind of order with simple guidelines that workers can understand. They don’t have to like them, they just have to follow them. Otherwise, just go somewhere else. It’s that simple. It’s crystal clear. Unfortunately, some will not be able to go anywhere else thanks to that nagging arrest record, or being fired from every job they ever had, or maybe just because they are bad, crummy malcontents.
More like the nerve of Walmart to stick with the GWP. Are we better off now than before? Not even close. Stores look like garbage, morale is garbage, defend it all the want it's still garbage.
Ha ha
So, they didn’t run the whole GWP thing by you before they made a decision to put it in place? I’d quit. No kidding. I’d just walk right out of there and let the whole place crash down all around their feet. I swear, the nerve of Walmart to roll this out without taking your personal likes and desires into account.
I used to roll my eyes when she the Walmart hate from unions in the 90's and most of 2000's. BUT as soon as the GWP restructure started 1 1/2 years ago, not it really isn't that great to work for anymore. I'm stuck though after 27 years. I never wanted to be a assistant mgr. Dept mgr was my thing and I did it well. I'm stuck as a Team Lead and it's not rewarding for sure.
Do you guys get performance reviews? I have been with the company for 6 years and I have never had a review.
RUN
It’s obvious the person that started this topic has no idea how the world works, how companies and business work, or how the work environment works.
Here’s a tutorial:
You probably have just one supervisor or manager. You are probably a direct report to that person, and he/she is the one that does your performance review, etc.
There are others who probably give you work/task direction. Especially in the store environment, you might get work direction from a team lead, dept manager, store manager, perhaps even the market manager. Just about anyone in a more senior position could give you work direction.
If there’s conflict or disagreement with what you’re being told to do, you’re supposed to see your supervisor/manager and let them sort it out.
Oh, brother. If it’s so bad, just go somewhere else. Go ahead. I’m sure you’ll nail down a cushy work from home white collar high tech job in no time.
You should just hang out in the bathroom for a couple hours at a time vaping. That's what everyone else does.
