I have worked AP my entire 7 year career at Walmart. Started out a floor walker for a year then promoted to APM. ASMs in my store and my market do absolutely nothing but create their own problems.
They don’t follow up to their areas or do anything besides open cages and take complaints.I do not want anyone to lose their job or position but ASMs have been giving AP a bad rep since I have started at this company. In my opinion, I know several APMs that do 100 times more than an ASM in any given day.
Should we be surprised that they are downsizing ASMs? Not really.
ASMs have been wanting us to be equal for years, going back to when we changed our schedules and no more holidays off. It was total BS. Now I understand we are probably on the chopping block too but one thing this company knows is that they can rely on APMs for anything! We are the bridge of trust in each store.
