These hirings are done within the efforts to step up the technology race ( taking on Amazon) and according to this article, they will join WM’s retail technology group that already counts 7500 employees. Wonder how many of the regular workers will... — read more
I work overnight stock and our store would fall apart without overnight stockers
Wal-Mart is a joke. I work over night stock and our store would fall apart without overnight stockers. At our store, Cap1 and Cap 2 fails at getting the job done. Mainly because of poor supervision. 3rd shift stocks all departments, including... — read more

W2 for displaced comanagers
Went to download my W2 and it wasn’t available online (I’ve always been enrolled in online delivery). Do any displaced managers know why this would happen? I didn’t claim exempt so taxes would be deducted and am fairly certain it would be reported... — read more

No Overnight Stocking?
No Overnight Stocking? Uh, right. I highly doubt that. Wal-Mart wants money overnight, literally, so they have stores opened 24/7. Why bother closing overnights if it means losing out on potential profits?
Hirings at the Shepherdsville distribution center begin later this year
As the article states Walmart is planning to provide as many as 400 new, permanent, full- time jobs at the Shepherdsville facility, but the hirings will not start until later this year. This was officially announced by the company spokesperson... — read more

Has there been anything new in the past few days, or are we still relying on older info?
Announcement History
Walmart made the big announcement one year ago today regarding the raise to $11 and the additional benefits... Will there be another today? 🤔
The Old Days
This seems like a good time to describe what working for WM used to be like, back in their time of goodness: When I hired on in 2001, you started as p.t. or seasonal but quickly went to f.t. And the trick then wasn't getting enough hours---it was... — read more
Displaced Co Manager Tax Info
Just downloaded my w2 and my severance is not on there... from what I can tell it should be. Does anyone know how Walmart reports this? 1099 or other form?

Any new news on pc/tc for the near future? what about dsd and claims?
Ok, enough
Because I'm not guilable, I'm not suffering needless anxiety like many of the WM workers reading this forum. This business with you trolls continually building all this stress needs to stop. ---I can't make you do that, but I'll be putting you all on... — read more
I don’t see WM benefiting from the demise of Sears
This is just one of the articles that talk about other retailers benefiting from the liquidation of Sears. I have to say I don't agree. Sears hasn’t been able to produce significant revenue and has been losing customers for years now, and if some of... — read more
Claims Department
Anyone have any info on Claims? Going or staying? When?
What are the chances?
I keep wondering, with no official info yet, what are the chances this turns out to be one big hoax?

Overnight stocking is going away March or April time frame. Stores closing Overnight, a small handful will only be 24 hours. Associates will be offered the new CAP positions.
As soon as our chain of command changed, AP was dealt a death blow
As soon as our chain of command changed, AP was dealt a death blow. We used to be a neutral non-biased entity in the stores, now we have to keep our mouths shut. Issues brought up to MAPMs are always met with "partner with your store manager". They... — read more
Sears is liquidating
Which goes to prove that nothing is too big to fail. Walmart leadership should take notice. Also, good luck to thousands of people who are about to lose their jobs.
Upcoming Changes - Get Ready!

Hard ASM work
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... — read more
Consistently inconsistent
The longer this forum exists, the more absurd and fantastical the predictions and theories and so-called 'absolute facts!!' have become. What's funny is how all these Great Prohets of Doom (of which I believe are the same 1--2 people, probably fired... — read more
Development needed
I am a 9+ year employee, 3 year assistant, over 50 who just received a "development needed" rating which is a death sentence. It IS happening. Sadly, nothing about me, my productivity or quality of work has changed. I received good to excellent... — read more
Why H1B post being taken down admin?
This site is censoring any mention of H1B abuse by walmart
Walmart never sticks to a plan
Long term plan to ultimate cut cost and increase profits. Meaning no full-time, no benefits and if possible no worker just bots. What can't fall under these categories falls under 3rd party sub contracted out. And too answer your question they can't... — read more
It’s almost as if you’re not performing well then you might be let go!
Mr. Sam must be rolling in his grave!!!! Is showing up two work everyday not good enough anymore?? Now I actually have to be productive in order to have job security? What is this company coming too?
Co Manager reset
I have spoken to a large number of Co managers who were not given and still do not know the answer to this. When the co manager cuts occurred last year, the ones that made the cut were told they only had 18 months to promote. The issue is that no... — read more
Changes
I wish they would go ahead and tell us the changes so we can be prepared when they come down and change our jobs
The insane push to beat Amazon
They are cutting people (and will continue to do so) due to their insane push to beat amazon. They have to make up for the lack of margin in e-commerce somewhere. Mark my words, this foolish pursuit of online sales will sink this company and amazon... — read more
More worried about store closings
Everybody is worried about cuts and hours, but what I'm really worried about is that we might be looking at more store closings very soon. One manager recently transferred from my store and another quit after finding a new job, and I remember... — read more
