Give Wal-Mart the Demerits They Deserve

I don't know a Walmart executive who couldn't use more pieces of flair.

Luckily, MomsRising.org is on the case. They are calling on Walmart to amend its unfair sick day policy through a new online petition, and there is a creative twist. Sign the petition on their site and your letter will be given to Walmart HQ, along with real demerit badges for Walmart's executives.

Don't let your favorite Walmart executive go without: send them a badge of shame today!

One of the best ways to stop the spread of the flu (like H1N1) is for sick people to stay home. But Wal-Mart gives employees "demerits" that can lead to termination if they call in sick!

We think the real demerits should go to Wal-Mart for their bad sick days policy, which risks making the public sick and their employees sicker.

Give Wal-Mart a "Demerit Badge" by signing the petition today! We'll deliver your signatures, along with real demerit badges, to Walmart executives to call them out for their terrible sick days policies.

Sign the petition:

Wal-Mart: Stop your policy of giving employees demerits for taking sick days. It's bad for your employees, your customers, and for public health.

This is as almost disgusting as the Walmart employee who passed away, when she was refused a sick day because of a headache which turned out to be a blood-clot.

If a Walmart worker is sick, they are sick. They cannot be forced to come into work in spite of their job.

If walmart sticks unto their 40% worker health care, poverty level wages and anti-union policy, at least let workers stay home sick without spreading germs throughout their store.

Its bad when your threaten every day by walmart. You can be a employee with excellent attendence. When you come down with the stomach flu and have to miss a couple days. Your threaten with losing your job. Unexcused absents. threaten to be coached. Those are the only days you have missed for a year. Wal mart preaches about respect for the individual. Not one of the upper management respects that. Now walmart is including more management and less workers. Workers hours are being cut and jobs positions are being cut. Their running there stores completely under staffed. Wal mart employees are threaten every day at their jobs. Walmart is like Hitler was to the jews.

Posted by Mary - November 7, 2009 09:42 PM

Mary,
Are you kidding?

"Walmart is like Hitler was to the jews".

Of all of the off the wall comments that I've seen on this site that one has to be the most offensive not to mention disgusting. To compare anyone to Hitler is wrong. Let alone a corporation that does as much for society as Walmart does. Do you really believe that you'll win converts to your point of view using that kind of rhetoric?

If you don't like working for Walmart then quit and find employment elsewhere. I would say though judging from your grammar, spelling and disgusting comment, you are not very well educated and that limits your possibilities. That is not Walmart's fault. It's yours.

I would ask that those who control this site remove Mary's comment.

Walmart is what it is today thanks to free trade with china. In 1999 bill clinton pushed to remove all trade restrictions with china both partys supported it and still do to this day. It was suppose to ease relations with them. before 1999 you could buy stuff from china but there was restrictions on how much they could import and tariffs. tariffs were in are constitution to keep foreign countrys from destroying are economy. What people don't understand is that this has all been planned by are goverment to destroy the middle class and make us like other countries were you have rich and poor. don't let obama fool you. Free trade has been pushed into are brains by the media as the greatest thing on earth but it was designed to destroy all production in the united states and bring us to are knees.There is no diffrence from repubs or democrats anymore and america needs to wake up and take back america by voteing for anything but the 2 choices. and we need to take back the federal reserve and make it part of the goverment not somthing controlled by banks that allow banks to control are goverment.

TC,

Are YOU kidding?

You MISSED the entire point.

Obviously YOU are associated with the company (read: Walmart's Bitch) and would oppose anything negative that was said against them.

For someone so educated, YOU sure do act like an IDIOT.

Posted by HellMart Associate - November 10, 2009 12:42 AM

If you are an associate who goes to an emergency room for some sort of an emergency, but are not admitted to the hospital.....you will still receive a point for your absence. Three points is a verbal warning, 4 points a written warning, then fired! Any person that works with the public day in and day out is going to have a higher risk of becoming ill, that is common sense.

Oh pardon me, we are talking about Walmart!

Posted by Pro Union - November 10, 2009 11:43 PM

No, it is you who miss the point. The point is that this comment is an insult to all who actually suffered and died under Hitler and to to those who live with the terrible memories of that dark time in history.

Hate Walmart and criticize them if you like but for someone to make them analogous with Hitler is disgusting.

Posted by tc - November 11, 2009 10:06 AM

By the way, I am not affiliated with Walmart in any way, shape or form other than being a customer. I am an American who believes that many unions are ruining our country and driving jobs offshore.
When I read comments like the Hitler comment I make sure to shop at Walmart twice that day and so do many others.

Posted by tc - November 11, 2009 10:09 AM

I DO work at Walmart and before you say anything negative......I have looked for other employment but is not easy for someone 50+ that was a stay at home mom for years. Outside of low pay I was happy with my job until recently. NOW there is no respect in the building at all. You see the commercials about more customer service, cashiers, etc. for the holiday. That is not true, our store manager said that they are hiring ZERO holiday help and right now we are working and being pushed beyond our limits as we are so understaffed. The other day I had a potato chip vendor helping me zone as he knows how hard I work and knows how I get yelled at regardless. I just missed 3 days sick. Tonight I am to go back. Trying to find a copy of absence policy is how I got here as 2 coworkers called and said the boss was overheard saying they are treating each of my absences individually so it will put me at 3 and disciplinary action UNLESS I have a doctors note. They have never accepted a doctors note and 1-3 days missed is counted as 1. IF anyone can help me find this please do so. I called the store and seems that personnel has taken the day off and there is no one in the office! Ha
Thanks......Terri

Posted by Terri - November 11, 2009 01:07 PM

Terri,
While I can understand your situation, I'd like to point something out. You are in the position you are because of life choices you made and circumstances that you reacted to. Why is it now up to Walmart to give you everything you think you want and need? They had nothing to do with those choices.

You have made another life choice. You applied for a job and were hired at Walmart. Either deal with that choice or move on. It's not Walmart's fault that you are not qualified for a better job or that other jobs aren't available for someone with your skill set.

Your post like so many others on this site is antecdotal. The written policy whatever it is, is the policy. If an individual manager changes or interprets that policy in a way that you don't agree with then take it higher on the corporate ladder. That choice would also be up to you.

Posted by tc - November 11, 2009 01:32 PM

my walmart store told all of us that they would not be taking any call outs for the flu. We have to go into work.. dressed in our work attire.. punch in on the time clock.. then a member of managment would determine if you were sick enough to leave and go home. If you were allowed to leave then the day would count as a leaving early and will count towards your 3 tardy/3leaves equals 1 unexcused day. So far I have seen only 1 person allowed to go home out of all that have been very ill with the flu. As of right now 40% of our 500 employees have had or now have the flu. We were also told that a doctors note does NOT excuse us from being absent.
A few years ago we had an employee die at work because they refused her call out that morning. She called in to tell them she was having bad chest pains the manager on duty told her take some tums and get into work. Needless to say she dropped dead in the aisle less then an hour later. This employee was only in her 30's and still had a long life ahead of her but unfortunitly walmart likes to play god and decided they came first that day.

Unjust,

I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THE STATEMENTS THAT YOU HAVE PUT FORWARD ARE FALSE....

I have 2 close friends that work in a walmart store in new jersey ( 1 pro-union, 1 not) that said that WalMart was to approve ALL abscences related to the flu. I don't know where you are getting your information, but it is completely false as they have shown me the documents. Maybe you should stop taking your aggravation out on your store or listen to what is WRITTEN!!!

Posted by itdoesntmatter - November 12, 2009 10:55 PM

Unjust,

Even if what you wrote is true, no one can stop you from calling in sick. Unless your manager is driving to your house and dragging you to work, you can call in sick whenever you want.

Posted by Ike - November 13, 2009 10:38 PM

How do you know what is happening in the store i work in? YOU DONT! Step back and take a look at all the walmart stores.. how many stores are run the same? Diffrent states have diffrent laws. DONT sit there and acuse me of giving false facts. And let me rephrase what i wrote because i guess i wasnt clear .. They are not accepting any call ins. If you choose to call and tell them that you WONT be coming in then it is held against you as per the attendance policy. I dont know where the documents your friends have because let me tell you they NEVER made it to my store. As an associate who works in the personal office i can tell you that document NEVER passed over our desk.

Posted by unjust - November 14, 2009 03:17 PM

unjust,

You wrote that if someone showed up sick and asked to leave, then they would still be held accountable if they were allowed to leave. That's the same punishment as if they had called in and just stayed home. The only difference is that calling in is a guaranteed sick day. They can tell you that you can't call off all they want, but nothing is really stopping you.

Posted by Ike - November 14, 2009 11:18 PM

Ike, nothing is stopping somebody from calling off? Really? Do you work for Wal-Mart or do you just believe anything Wal-Mart wants you to believe? The policy is written in a away that if you call off or go home early, you are always risking losing your job. So no, nobody will come to my house and make me go to work when I'm sick, but if I don't, then they can fire me. No matter what the reason is why I called off.

Posted by TakeDownWalMart - November 15, 2009 05:55 PM

TDWM,

That was a very stirring post, but also very false. You only risk being fired after you've had a D-Day. Otherwise, you are only risking a "demerit" and you are allowed many of them before you are terminated. Are you saying that you could be fired for calling off one time!? I'm raising the bull$hit flag on that one.

If you read unjust's post carefully, it is stated that sick employees have to come in and be evaluated by management. I don't believe it, but... we'll give the benefit of the doubt. If management determines that you are sick, then you go home and recieve one demerit. That's the exact punishment you will receive if you call off. Therefore, there is no reason for someone who is sick to actually go in to work to be evaluated, since they will get a demerit either way.

That's why I don't even believe this scenario. First, store managment would know that this policy can't be enforced. Second, and more importantly, the employees would figure out that this policy can't be enforced and no one who is truly sick will risk being evaluated as healthy and forced to work. In other words, sick people wouldn't go in to be evaluated, they would just call off because they will take a hit anyway.

Posted by Ike - November 15, 2009 06:53 PM

This is for itdoesntmatter. I do not know what Walmart your friends work at,but,it must not be on this planet. Because what Terri says is true. I worked for these idiots for many years,and they gave me the royal screw. And TC you go to work for them and then come back and tell us what you think. And they do threaten you with your job,on a daily bases.And Terri is right! They are not hiring Christmas help,and making people work in 2 or 3 different departments that are nor their departments. They are over working the ones they have,and not hiring. So you ones that are taking up for Walmart,you just keep kissing their ass. And watch what they do to you in the long run. Walmart is very good at getting rid of their older employees. Walmart does not care how many years you have worked for them. Or anything about their hourly employee s,they will fire you in a heart beat. So unless you have worked at this screwed up company and got screwed by them.We do not need your comments.

All, especially supports of wal-mart, check out the documentary "the high cost of low prices".

Posted by j - November 22, 2009 01:29 AM

As I read the comments on this site, I'm reminded of all of our limited perspectives. Those who have never been in a situation to have to work for a company like Wal-mart state that people who are in those situations are there because of their life choices. Those who are in the situation to work for Wal-mart or not have a job at all are seeing only the side of being a mistreated employee.

I believe that most people would not choose to live in poverty and work at Wal-mart if they felt they had other options (there are some people who choose poverty for spiritual/justice reasons). Certainly, there are some who live in poverty due to life choices, but there are others who live in poverty because of the cycle of poverty on communities. If you come from a community of poverty, you are taught that this is the standard. Anyone who exits this community for "a better life" sacrifices family relationships and friendships and because they are from an impoverished community, they are not accepted from their new-found middle class associates. When companies like Wal-mart perpetuate this cycle, it causes us all to suffer more. Middle class folk believe they are saving money by shopping at Wal-mart, yet we pay more in taxes to support Wal-mart employees who have inadequate health insurance and to subsidize products that Wal-mart cannot make a profit on.

As I read the benefits section of Wal-mart's own website, I find nothing about tuition assistance or even flexibility to allow full time workers to pursue further education. I can't believe that Wal-mart supports their employees' personal and professional growth when they fail to foster that growth.

Wal-mart workers, you have to take action. There are free community programs to assist you in getting other employment. Believe me, I know it's tough in this economy as I hold two Master's degrees and cannot find even part-time employment in jobs I am overqualified for. However, I'm encouraging you to stand up to Wal-mart by first choosing to not work there. Go to your local employment office and get assistance finding another job. Look for programs in community organizations, even some religious organizations, that help you revise your resume and assist with interview skills or provide classes that teach you new skills. Educators are in high demand and many states offer tuition waivers for people who give back to the community by agreeing to work in impoverished area schools. You won't be shunned by your community if you remain and help make it a better place.

Those of us who don't work at Wal-mart can do our part by cutting back on our consumerism and shopping at other retail stores. My family primarily shops at a local grocer who is only located in our state. We know that they contribute to the community and since my husband and I have both worked there in the past, we know they treat their employees well. Though we don't make a lot of money to support our family, we have cut back on the non-essentials and it has helped us save money. Cook at home, try new recipes, trust me, you'll save money doing this alone. If we get smarter, we won't need stores like Wal-mart draining our local economy and putting a strain on our tax dollars. I'd personally like to see my money go to education and other social programs than to a store that profits off the exploitation of workers.

I realize that my perspective is limited as well, but I think that if we all try a little harder to understand one another and care for our fellow human beings instead of passing judgment, we can make changes that will better our communities- we may even become communities again.

I Know that their is a way these people can be held accountable for this.IT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO.I know they can't sleep at night.What's the difference in them and a cold harded person who don't have any remorse for people.???..............Answer that all you smart guys and Walmart supporters...That's really putting it lightly...

I am an employee of Wal-mart.. but on the Sams Club side.. and a lot of the same rules used in walmart is applied in Sams club... they give you all this sick time, and tell you to use it if needed. Then when you actually do get sick, they wont pay you for the first day, and if you take more than 3days off in a row they make you fill out leave of absense paperwork..that id ridiculous... I LOVE THIS SITE AND EVERYTHING IT STANDS FOR.. WE NEED MORE AND MORE ASSOCIATES TO STAND UP FOR OUR RIGHTS.. AND BE TREATED MORE FAIRLY... I KNOW THAT SAM WALTON NEVER THOUGHT HIS DREAM OF THE COMPANY WOULD TURN OUT THE WAY IT HAS.. MANAGERS TREATING ASSOCIATES HORRIBLE... LOW WAGES..LOW MORALE...EXTREMELY HIGH HEALTH BENEFIT COSTS..

A great deal of the posts here mention Wal-Mart's position on absences due to illness. All of the associates are well aware that 3 strikes and you are out! Well here is one for the books,,, I was fired for drinking water (H2O) in the Pharmacy!

After greeting over 100 customers a day at my register, many suffering from the FLU and BRONCHITIS, I contracted one or both of the above (twice this year), The Doctor placed me on Z-Pac first and Mucinex DM, later adding Cipro - providing me with an explicit prescription to drink plenty of liquids while at work and at home, as well. So, trusting my Pharmacist, I gave him the Doctor's prescription noting the water issue and when he was not working, asked the other Pharmacists for water.

On October 27th I was called to the AD office and told I had broken a Pharmacy rule by drinking water in the Pharmacy and after explaining the situation, was sent back to work.

On October 29th, the main Pharmacist and an Assistant Manager FIRED me. I applied for unemployment and Wal-Mart denied it.

Posted by John Welday [TypeKey Profile Page] - December 2, 2009 10:37 PM

I am well aware of the unethical behaviors at Wal-Mart stores. As far as Wal-Mart denying what happened, stick with your story and appeal for unemployment. You will get your unemployment. This is a basic tactic by their HR department.
Unemployment is used to "he said she said" stories. Just stay unemotional and stick to the SAME story, with the same words each time you tell it.
Wal-Mart is playing the numbers game and hoping you will be intimidated, and give up on unemployment. They hope you won't know your rights.

My family stopped shopping at Wal-Mart over 10 years ago due to the unethical behavior of employees. Due to the fact that each time a store popped up the wages in the area when down 5%. That they didn't give health insurance, that they forced offshore outsourcing of jobs.

Yes they have done some things technically that have revolutionized the shipping and stocking industry, but they have taken advantage of the underclass and done a good job of destroying the middle class.

Posted by Dianna - December 3, 2009 06:25 PM

The best part of the sick policy is that employees can only avoid the "demerits" by applying for a FMLA release. Thus Wal-mart only supports the health of it's employees to the barest minimum required by law.

Posted by Penny - December 6, 2009 03:28 PM

TC - Get off of your soap box. Let these poor associates voice their opinions. You don't know what it's like until you've worked there. Instead of reading their comments and listening to what they have to say, you are attacking each of them. You appear to be very ignorant. Maybe the WM associates need to try to organize. There's good and bad in everything. Seems there's more bad than good with WM. You are exactly what WM is looking for in their customer, someone that doesn't mind being lied to and taken advantage of. Always remember it's all about the mighty $. You'll see. It will all, once again, come out to the public.....

Posted by Snowlady - December 8, 2009 11:24 PM

I work at walmart as well, and it seems that each store has its own policy for different types of situations, some will allow a cashier to sit if they have a back or foot problem, other stores won't allow it and will make you go on short term disability leave.

The
Little Man Takes It On The Chin...Again








Wal-Mart
is is respected in some circles, and loathed in others. I never
really understood the reasons behind the loathing, and after a few
years of being employed by them, I am starting to get a glimpse as to
why. Out of my necessity to keep working (I have grown somewhat
accustomed to eating and living indoors), I am not going to disclose
my name. I will however, give these incidents with which I am
familiar that may give an insight to some of the loathing, and the
very low level of morale among it's employees. I have changed the
names of the persons affected in order to protect their identities.






  1. A
    gentleman whom I will call “Arnold” came to work for
    Wal-Mart in early 2007. Upon his one year anniversary of employment
    with Wal-Mart he became eligible for benefits, including health
    insurance. He signed up for the health insurance along with the
    other company provided benefits he was interested in. Beginning with
    his next paycheck, Wal-Mart began making deductions from his check
    for those benefits he signed up for. He had had no previous health
    problems at all.







Two months after he began paying
for his health insurance, he was hit by an unexpected problem with
his kidneys. The situation required hospitalization and surgery, with
a 10 day hospital stay. “Arnold” had given his doctors
and the hospital his insurance information as was required. After his
release from the hospital he was informed during his convalescence (
a 6 week stay at home) by the hospital and doctors, that his
insurance claim had been denied. The reason for the denial was
“pre-existing condition”. Now keep in mind, “Arnold”
had had no
previous health problems at all.






“Arnold” called the
insurance company without results, and then he began calling the home
office to try to assess the reasoning behind this claim denial. He
finally talked to a woman in the Benefits Department who explained
the situation as follows. When you sign up for health insurance with
Wal-Mart, the contract states that no benefits will be paid to any
hospital, doctor, or any other health care provider for the first
year. Any claims filed within that first year would automatically be
denied as a “pre-existing” condition. No benefits would
be paid to any health care provider or agency until the employee has
been enrolled under the plan for one year. After the first year,
normal benefits would be paid.









  1. “Jerry”

    is a long-time employee with over 12 years of experience. He is
    married and the father of three, with a mortgage, and all of the
    expenses and necessities of a family.








His wife left her job, and along with it, her benefits
package which included health insurance. “Jerry” had her
added to his health insurance policy with Wal-Mart, which would be
the prudent thing to do.






Six months later, “Jerry's” wife went to her
gynecologist for an examination, and discovered that she required
surgery. The surgery was not of an emergency nature. Knowing of
Wal-Mart's requirement of the necessity of being covered for one
year before benefits are paid, “Jerry” called the
Benefits Department on three different occasions. The last time he
was assured that the surgery would be covered, as he had been
enrolled in the health insurance plan for over 10 years. “Jerry”
was relieved, since without the health insurance, there was no way he
could afford to pay for his wife's surgery on his salary, especially
with the already added strain of his other financial obligations on
what was now one income.







So, “Jerry's” wife had the surgery, and the
doctors and hospital filed the insurance. As you probably guessed,
the claim came back denied as a “pre-existing” condition.

“Jerry” called the insurance company (a major provider of
health insurance in the United States) and was told by their office
that they had nothing to do with the denial of the claim. The
decision of whether to pay a claim or not was decided entirely by
Wal-Mart. “Jerry” then called the Benefits Department of
Wal-Mart. He explained how baffled he was since he had been assured
by them that his wife's claim would be covered. He was then informed
that even though he had been assured that there would be coverage,
Wal-Mart retained the right to deny that coverage regardless, and
they had asserted that right. “Jerry's” wife would have
to be on his insurance for another six months before benefits would
be paid. So now “Jerry” is struggling to make ends meet,
and faced with doctor and hospital bills in the thousands.






  1. People
    who work for Wal-Mart have been noticing that long time employees
    with a service record of a decade or longer are becoming fewer and
    fewer. People are written up for petty offenses, and those who have
    always gotten exceptional reviews in the past are suddenly finding
    that their work is no longer up to standard. Some, like “Sally”
    have been dismissed under questionable reasoning. Especially
    questionable after two employees waiting outside an office to speak
    with a supervisor, overheard members of management discussing
    “Sally's” salary, and deciding that she made “too
    much” for the job she had held for over 20 years. Within one
    month, “Sally” was fired for allegedly harassing another
    employee. Strange, for an employee who was well liked and respected
    by her co-workers. No one had ever heard a bad thing about “Sally”

    until her dismissal.








    1. Another
      employee, “Bill” had also been with Wal-Mart for over 20
      years. For 15 of those years, “Bill” had been an
      assistant manager with high reviews. One member of upper management
      it seems is the designated “head cutter” (my term) for
      ridding Wal-Mart of employees who's higher wages due to long service
      makes them a pariah for “the company's” profitability.
      The “head cutter” began riding “Bill's” back
      at every opportunity, until finally “Bill” had all he
      could take and they got into a shouting match. “Bill”

      told them they could have his job, it was not




    worth all the trouble. Management
    told him to take a couple of days off to think it over, and then come
    back and they would talk. Two days later when “Bill”
    returned, he was fired the moment he stepped into the management
    office.










  2. Businesses
    like Wal-Mart are always having to hire and train new workers. They
    bemoan the fact of the high cost of training new employees, yet, they
    continue to follow these and other practices which insure that
    experienced employees either leave or are fired. When newer employees
    see and hear of these happenings themselves, then they are far from
    being encouraged to remain with Wal-Mart or any other company that
    follows similar practices. They want to know why they must pay for
    health insurance for a year, and not be able to rely on it if a
    health problem arises, emergency or not. They wonder if they were
    involved in an accident, would health claims be denied as
    “pre-existing”?





    When
    people give ten, fifteen or more years of their lives to Wal-Mart,
    what security is there for them? Apparently not much. Out of ten
    assistant managers and eight department managers working two years
    ago with service lengths of 12 to 25 years each, only one assistant
    manager remains. Were all of these people really that bad? If they
    were, how and why did Wal-Mart keep them that long? Other
    non-supervisory employees with long service records are concerned as
    well, as some of them have been dismissed or forced to quit.





    Some
    of the newer assistant managers have not fared too well either. If an
    area supervisor is well liked by his or her department managers and
    employees, and is not an absolute hard case, they don't stay too
    long, either. They are continually given verbal and written warnings,
    and either end up leaving or being fired.





    It
    may be that the current economic condition has a role to play in
    these events. The government and the media have been acting as if the
    current state of the economy is a recent event, but some of us
    already knew better than that. All I know is, I recall the words of a
    former boss of mine from a company I worked for back in the early
    80's. He once said to me, “I hate it when the economy is good.
    When the economy is good, you can't find or keep good workers. When
    the economy is bad, there's no trouble finding and keeping good
    help.” I wonder if it ever occurs to “the company”

    and people like my former boss, that if they treated people decently
    in the first place, they would never have trouble finding and keeping
    “good help”. Yes, they want “good help”, but
    only if it is both convenient and cost effective for them and their
    stockholders. When the bottom line is involved, employees are
    expendable. Evidently employees are good only when they don't get
    sick, hurt, or stay for too long a time.

    What happened at walmart that made the company fire their temporary workers two weeks before the holidays? The lines are outragous, the workers are overworked. Who made that call? Does anyone have a clue?

    I think I found the abswer to my question!!!!!!

    Walmart Will Pay $40 Million to Workers; Settlement is Biggest in Bay State History
    Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the world’s largest retailer, has agreed to pay $40 million to as many as 87,500 current and former employees in Massachusetts after a class-action lawsuit that accused the retailer of denying workers rest and meal breaks, refusing to pay overtime, and manipulating time cards to lower employees’ pay.

    This was posted in the Weekly Labor Reader Newsletter on Dec. 7,2009. My wife and several other temporary employees were fired on Dec. 9, 2009. I WONDER???

    I am posting this for my sister-in-law. she was just fired. has been a faithful worker for 16 years.She started as a stocker and then moved up to a CSI team leader and was at a level 7 pay scale.She was praised and was doing a great job. Then the new manager came. Nothing she did was right. She was written up and for not doing the job correctly. she told them that was the she was trained. She was told to get the job done no matter what it took. She was taken the short cuts needed to do that. She was then called into the office and given a D day and told to write a three page paper on how she could do heer job more effiently. Can you believe that crap. she asked to go back to stocker on both ocassions and lose the extra paybut, they would not allow her to. The manager wanted to fire her then. That is why she wanted to step down. Some of the other managers talked with lead manager and told him she was to great a worker, not to let her go. She finally took the demontion and pay loss and went back to work as a stocker. She missed a day for sickness. Her Daughter was gave birth to her first child. She called in work and asked to use 6 hours of personal leave of which she had 16. Long story short they never told her that the went against her. Then took a niece to the hospital for surgery which was thought to be ther 3rd absence. They fired her.THEN they tell her the day counted against her. she was one of the highest paid workers they had. They did not want to pay that out anymore they can hire part time workers for less. They are continuing to do this with other level 7 workers. This manager is harrassing them and causing them un due stress from unwarranted right ups.

    Dear "tc",

    I'm a proud American too, but if you really believe unions and people making comparisons to Hitler are the biggest problems our country faces, well, clearly you're an inbred elitist pig who probably had everything in life handed to you.

    Please tell me: How long have you been working for Walmart HQ, trawling sites like this? I bet you're paid *at least* two or three times a Walmart retail worker's wages just to spread Walmart's rhetoric.

    For you to criticize another for grammar and language usage, and to accuse someone of being uneducated is just elitist BS. Get over yourself. All the money, education, and "American pride" in the world can't fill the space where your heart should be.

    "tc," it's people like YOU who sicken me. Give me H1N1 any day over your garbage.

    Here are some simple instructions that even a Red Neck such as yourself should be able to follow:

    1. Place each hand on a buttock and spread
    2. Have a friend shove a crowbar up there (assuming you have any friends)
    3. Dislodge your head from your ass

    TC,
    This is a website to inform people about Wal-Mart and how it effects the community, employees, etc. Seeing you so eager to defend is not only irritating, its idiotic.

    If you have never worked at Wal-Mart, you do not understand the situation. No, we don't have to work at Wal-Mart, but tell me, where to find another job in the recession? In any case, the point is Wal-mart should treat its employees fairly, they shouldn't have to find another job.

    This is why Wal-Mart wins, because brainless people like you don't know the real facts. Ignorance is NOT bliss. Have you even looked at this website?

    Posted by Emily - December 23, 2009 01:48 PM

    Well, today something very ironic happened. I've been coming on here defending Walmart because that is part of my job. However, today they fired me. What a nice Christmas gift. I guess that is karma in action right there. If I have offended anyone with my comments, please send me an email and I will apologize to you directly. My email address is: fredgarvinmp83@yahoo.com

    Posted by tc - December 24, 2009 06:26 PM

    It should be brought to light about Walmart's scheduling and meal policies.

    As a current Walmart employee of four years, I can tell you from within the walls of the big blue box, that the policies regarding meal breaks are not followed, and associates that were promised a 40 hour work week, wind up carrying home pay checks with far less hours.

    Through Walmart's WIRE, you can access the complete corporate policies regarding numerous subjects.

    Let's start with the meal period policy.
    As stated in the WIRE policy print out - "Associated must take a minimum of a 30 minute uninterrupted meal break and upon management agreement, up to one full hour."

    Now this applies for our state, as other states may have separate restrictions regarding meal periods and whatnot. But here, there are no laws dictating or enforcing full hour lunches.

    If you've ruffled managements feathers by using the "Open Door Policy", be prepared for any of the policies to be skewed and turned against you.

    As experienced in my store, my whole department was involved in an Open Door Policy, resulting with the department manager being removed from the company. This clearly rocks the boat for management all the way to the top, as the immediate retaliation against the employees came in the form of a misinterpreted meal policy, enforced with a sense of ignorance that I've never seen before.

    One hour meal periods were now being forced in our department, costing the associates approximately 260 hours for the year, which translates into a significant amount of money, regardless of your pay rate. Not to mention that you can be penalized and even terminated by not following the new directive.

    Not only is that kind of a crackdown completely against the company policy, its unlawful too!
    Keeping this on a company level and not getting into the legal aspect of it, it is clearly stated "upon management's agreement". This would imply, no matter how you slice it, that you, the associate either expressed interest in a full hour lunch, or have outright requested it. This is quite the contrary in our store where we have made numerous verbal requests and written requests against this crackdown.

    Keep in mind folks, that any email requests regarding this crackdown to the superior members of management are completely ignored and never followed up on.

    Walmart has the potential to be a great associate-friendly company, but fails time after time by putting payroll light years ahead of employees. And not all management are bad people, I'll be the first to say it definitely warps them when get promoted to the new position, but the ludicrous actions taken by many individuals reinforces the petty minded image of Walmart, sucking the blood out of its workers.

    Oh, and for the whole 40 hours thing...

    ...you better get that in writing, because your not getting it, not even close. Bait and switch friends, bait and switch.

    If you out there work for Walmart, READ YOUR POLICIES, PRINT THEM AND SAVE THEM. Its not much, but its the only shred of support you'll have if you find yourself caught in a debate with the company contradicting itself.

    Logic changes the world, negative action likes to pretend that it does.

    Be wise friends, as nobody is kidding around when they say Walmart does not respect its employees, its the truth, and honesty for the longest time has been Walmarts biggest enemy.

    Posted by Jeremy - December 26, 2009 12:06 AM

    Wa-mart "uppermanagement" is only concerned with 'how they can get away with disrespecting" others in a way that allows for frustration" within their employee "rank and file" . They constantly distort the truth for their own means with are very sneeky to say the least. The intellect at that level of Management is `nt to much better than that of a fifth grader !! (lol,lol,)

    Posted by Mel - December 29, 2009 03:15 PM

    Jeremy,

    I don't have my policies anymore, where can i get another copy?
    I have been demoted to part time after all these years and i took it just to keep a job in this horrible unemployment times. I live in Ohio and the jobs are just not to be had. They kept after me and after me with harrassment and coachings and finally it came down to either take part time or you are out and you won't be able to collect unemployment if we fire you because we have offered you the part- time job.

    The Center for Media Research has released a study by Vertical Response that shows just where many of these ‘Main Street’ players are going with their online dollars. The big winners: e-mail and social media. With only 3.8% of small business folks NOT planning on using e-mail marketing and with social media carrying the perception of being free (which they so rudely discover it is far from free) this should make some in the banner and search crowd a little wary.

    Frustration at my store is prevalent! The Co-Managers constantly yell , intimidate and harass us on the walkie=talkies. We are threatened, verbally abused and emotionally abused. We are forced to wear our shirts and blouses tucked in, even though it states very clearly in Company Policy: "shirts do not need to be tucked in". This may not seem a very big thing to some of you, but to a lot of women it is degrading. It also seems to me to be the first step in them keeping a giant thumb on us. Women up to and including a 71 year old have to go outside and push buggies into the store. I don't mean 1 or 2 strays. I'm talking lines of at least 6 at a time, while there are strong, able-bodied men in the facility who could do it. I am in tears of frustration daily because I really love my job and the people I work with and especially the customers.

    Posted by frustrated - January 13, 2010 08:33 PM

    Note to all associates who are or feel like they are treated unfairly. You have options and have had options every year that you work there. Refer to your yearly CBL's.

    You have the open door policy (not just in your store but all the way to the CEO), anonymous toll free numbers (handled by a third party company) and other options as well. Walmart keeps a record of everytime you call Home Office (except when calling the anonymous lines). Its on record which helps you if your case can be a "court case".

    The problem is alot of people don't use the resources available to them. They try once and then give up threatening to leave and/or sue. You feel that the matter should have been resolved the one or two times you tried to have it addressed.

    Guess what, a company of this size is not perfect but can't fix problems if they don't know about it. Sad part is I could hear every case ex-associates have, talk to everyone involved and probably 95% of the time still find that the associate failed to use the resources available to them yet blames Walmart for not resolving an issue they never knew about. The company does not stop at the GM of your store.

    So if you work for Walmart and have a legitimate problem refer to your handbook, CBL's and the company wire. You will find all the information you need to get your problem resolved.

    I use to be a big fan of Wal-mart. I have a felony and Sam's Club (a Wal-mart owned company) took a chance and gave me a job. I praised the company at every turn. I trully wanted to show people that some ex-felons do change and make great employees. After only 8 months I moved up to COS and was supervising the front end. I was named employee of the month twice, never missed one day of for over 7 years, received an outstanding eval, repaired all their broken register and computers and did all my front end manager's paper work. Then on November 24, 2008 I was terminated for a crime I committed in 1995. This is because two nosey assoaicates and a manager made a big production out of what they saw on the internet. In case you are wondering it was no big secret to Sam's Club. When I was being interviewed I told THREE interviewers I had a record. I gave the HR lady a voluntary copy of IDOC record that "I" downloaded from the internet for them. And I even wrote a one page statement about what happened. And they hired me any way. I was even on a leg monitor. They had to call in my work schedule to my parole offer for 3 years. One minute I helping push shopping carts in the rain, the next minute I'm being told I'm being suspendid for weeks. Two weeks later I'm being told I'm fired. NOT because I lied on my application (which I didn't) but because I had a record. I tried appealing the termination and all I got was the run around. Or they didn't return phone calls. And to top it all off I was banned from ALL Wal-mart owned property. I haven't even done anything to be treated like that. Recently, Wal-mart closed 10 stores. The associates were told they would get severance pay. I was cheated out of my Sam's Share Bonus check and I was given any severance pay. Now I see why everyone is starting hate the company. I've been out of work for over a year now.

    The Beginning The working life is already tough enough,
    but the worries of being out of work was even tougher.
    The unsecured working environment have prompted me to search the
    internet for an alternative source of extra income so that I could
    learn how to Make Money Work for me and be Financially Independent.

    Yesterday i bought viagra in Online drugstore.
    On my surprise it works excellent! All the matter is that the price low, because I do not pay for the trade mark. That's all!
    You can see explanations about it.
    A generic drug (generic drugs, short: generics) is a drug which is produced and distributed without patent protection. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, generic drugs are identical bioequivalent range to the brand name counterpart with respect to pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties. By extension, therefore, generics are considered identical in dose, strength, route of administration, safety, efficacy, and intended use. In most cases, generic products are available once the patent protections afforded to the original developer have expired. When generic products become available, the market competition often leads to substantially lower prices for both the original brand name product and the generic forms.

    i have worked for walmart for a long time and what most of the people are sayijng is true. i worked for 3 different stores and none of them are the same. but they do have one thing in common most of them do not treat there employees very well. most of us are very hard workers and we still feel threaten on a daily basis by management. and because my store manager doesnt want to hire anyone we have to do the job of 2 or more people. most of us would leave if we could but you have to either deal with everything or not beable to provide for your family.

    If lazy bums only called out when they were sick, I'm sure they would never be told to come in when they try to call out. They only need to call an automated phone number anyway. Too many just call out when there is a forcast for bad weather or they have a hang nail. This might be ok for a government emp or union freeloader but not for a worker.

    I have worked as a Wal-Mart Associate for over 10 years. I was making poverty level wages with no health care. I was relying on government programs to survive. My mother is a Wal-Mart employee. She now is forced to sue Wal-Mart just to get paid as equal as men. Wal-Mart's slogan is "save money live better" It is one thing for Wal-Mart to pay associates poverty level wages and fail to offer affordable health care. But in my horrible 10 year experience with Wal-Mart, I have witnessed to much to ever shop there. My working experience ending with Wal-Mart when a was threatened to be fired six months ago if I miss another day of work. I had pneumonia. Apparently, the 4 days I spent in the hospital that I paid for completely because I had no health insurance, was to many "de-merits" for me. I quit Wal-Mart when this happened. Sam Walton believed in "respect for the individual" but, since he death in the 1990's, Wal-Mart's policy changed. I wasn't allowed to wear an AFSCME shirt when working, unions weren't allowed. I have witnessed people being refused lunch break because they didn't work hard enough. As the worlds largest private employer, Wal-Mart has a responsibility to do better. Last year, Lee Scott former Wal-Mart CEO made around $30 million total. While I made $13,000, $8,000 under the poverty level line. Wal-Mart makes 25,000 every minute. It takes around 30 seconds for them to pay one year income for an average associate.

    We deserve better than this. We are the ones who make Wal-Mart a success each and every day. But, woman workers are discriminated against, and child labor laws are broken daily inside wal-mart's tinted windows.

    I appreciate you reading this letter. Please contact me by e-mail.

    This is directed to Nornak post dated January 13, 2010 11:01pm
    I have read this site and relate to most of what everyone has to say because I have experienced it for myself. Even worse.

    I have 3+ years working at Walmart. I am now fired. I want my story to be heard but it is a bit much for this site. I am not sure if you are the person for me to talk to. I have been trying to get information as far as talking to the right person for a while now. You see I was trying to get a job at corporate because I thought Walmart could use a good person like me. I was also trying to figure out how far the bad guy's go up the latter. But I was put out the door before I got a chance to talk to anyone who counts! So maybe you or someone there at corporate can help me. Maybe you don't need me but at least if someone would liston to my experience at Walmart and who I am as a person maybe some of the other associates would not have to suffer so much. I am hoping someone at Walmart Corporate reads this and replies back to me. I also have a friend with family at corporate that I am asking for help.

    This is to the post you put on this site.
    As for me, I don't have a book anymore. It was lost in a flood. But my guess is much of it maybe out dated. To often policy have changed and we were not told about it. With CBL and Company wire you have to be punched in on the clock. My store was not giving us time to do anything but the CBL's. I am the type of person who would of loved to read it on my off time but I was not allowed to. Where are the numbers to call corporate? My store manager said to call 1-800-Walmart. No one picks up the phone. I had to pretend I was a customer with a complaint to even get some info. I was told I had to go to district. Now that I have more time on my hands maybe I can find the right person to help me. Is it you? I would like to think there is some good guys out there.

    Wal-mart has grass rotes surveys to get view points of its employees. The dirty little story is that shift managers take over half the surveys to bring the scores up. Then Wal-mart says, see, they do like working here. Wal-mart can not even be honest to itself or its employees. Employees have to take getting thier needs and opions out into their own hands. They need to group together as a union. Home office at Wal-Mart knows what is going on with the surveys. They choose to do nothing. Employees need to choose to do somthing

    Posted by Tim Flemming - February 22, 2010 03:03 PM

    TIm,
    I noticed the same thing. I went to corporate with information like this, and was told I was not correct. My store manager came in early one morning and took several grass roots surveys. I caught him red handed and they did nothing. I guess they could care less what we think

    To the Nornik Post 1/13/2010
    I am a manager for Wal-mart and let me tell you, this Nornik guy spilling the company line is full of it. I promise you they could careless what you think, I have heard it from their own mouths. When is the last time a Regional or even a Districk Manager came and talked with associates only. They always come talk to upper management. If they cared what you thought, they would tell managment to take a break and talk to you. Put that in your pipe Nornik

    Posted by Al Gores Daddy - February 23, 2010 01:05 AM

    Dear TC,
    You have no clue what these guys go through. Fellow associates, this guy has a $100,000+ job, and has a silver spoon shoved up his ass. It is quite obvious what he is from his writings. This guy is not part of your fight. Ingnore him, organise yourself and fight. You can win this fight. These guys are blinded by their ego's and greed and will not know what hits them till it is to late. Wal-mart is great. It can be much better

    Posted by TC's Daddy - February 23, 2010 01:32 AM

    Anne Milling,
    Sorry to here you would never shop at Wal-mart. Associates work hard to bring you good prices. Yes Wal-mart has it problems and they must be fixed. Kroger is about the same and Albertson's treats its employee's even worse to be honest. The Free Choice Act will go along way to fix these issues. It is sad, but apparantly Wal-mart needs this passed to save it from itself. Yes many upper management has out of control ego's that damage the company. Just keep in mind that the troops in the stores work hard to earn your business

    When i was a kid, about 10 years old, Wal-mart wouldn't let me in the electronics department. i wanted to look at the video games. The staff said it was because I might steal something! What's up with that?

    I am a long time wm associate (20+). WM wasn't always a horrible place to work. I actually used to like going to work and didn't mind the low pay because each day I was allowed to challenge myself and learn new and different tasks. this is no longer true. wm used to be pro-associate, pro-family, pro-america, pro-customer. none of the above is true any longer. we all know that if wm can get it cheaper across the waters, that's where they are going to get it. it doesn't matter that the item lacks quality, so screw america. have any of you been in a new super center? you will be in for a real surprise. they have cut way back on the choices for a customer. they have downsized all of the departments, so no more choices of products. save money - live better? they are making all of you customers look like fools. their belief is you are to stupid to realize that they are in control of you and your choices. this is what we are offering you, take it or leave it. they are banking on you taking it and you do. what was that commercial about wm doing the price comparing shopping so you don't have to? all lies. they don't compare anything anymore. used to be that the department managers were responsible to go out to the compitition once a week and then wm would lower prices to beat the competitor. ain't happening anymore. do you see the words "satisfaction guarenteed" on the front of the new stores? hell no. so much for pro-customer. the associates are all job coded and pay coded. your job code determines your pay, it doesn't matter how many years you have given them. there used to be all sorts of opportunity for advancement with the company. not anymore. my pay has been capped for 3 years. no yearly raises. am i wrong? have gas prices stayed the same over the last 3 years or groceries or clothing or any living expenses? according to wm they must have, because they are not raising my pay to meet the cost of living. they have been slowly removing our benefits. they've taken away merit raises, no more christmas bonus (some are still grandfathered for this), you have to be with the company for 90 days to qualify for a discount card (pretty much doesn't allow seasonal help the opportunity for a discount). they offer insurance, but most can not afford it, so they are depending on the state to pay for it. wow, would that constitute customer service? you are now paying for health care for the wm associates through your taxes. guess a big thank you to you is called for. you see, when wm announces their numbers, it may be true that the percentage of associates have insurance coverage. they lead you to believe that they are the ones providing this insurance. they are not telling you that while yes, we have insurance, but this percentage is covered through a spouse or parent and this percentage is covered by the state.
    i am so happy to see that this group is going after wm on this attendance demerits. wm gives me 192 sick hours (the max) and yet i am not allowed to use these without being penalized or even fired for using them. also, if i leave the company, i receive no compensation at all for these 192 hours that i have banked. so tell me, why do they give us this if we can't use them? you are technically allowed 3 call ins for a rolling 6 month period. on the 4th they start the "coaching procedure". if you have 3 tardies, this is considered an absence. if you have 3 short shifts or 3 left early, this is considered an absence. if you are out sick for longer than 3 days, you have to file FMLA paperwork. by doing this, your time is stopped in the system, there for you're not putting towards your vacation time, personal time and so on. they aren't going to give you something for nothing.
    i guess the point on this that i am trying to make is: wm is the leader. watch them. if they can get away with this chances are your employer will follow suit. don't ever think you are above it. wm has a lot more changes in the making and they will be coming in the real near future. all we, as associates are asking is to have someone there to represent us, to watch out for us. we do need to organize. we do need the union. wm ways do not work any longer. i don't trust any of them any more. we are the ones that got wm where they are today and they have all forgotten this. let's get together on this and stand strong and go union.....

    I am the husband of Beatrice Parker. I have worked for Walmart for over 2 years as a greeter in the same store as Bea. Bet she didn't tell anyone about that. I have a lung condition that requires special accommodations and the supervisors allows this. I was Associate of the Month and everyone is real nice to me. Pretty amazing that Bea can raise money for complete strangers to get on planes to see celebrities, but yet her husband carries around an oxygen tank and greets people at Walmart. I don't know why Bea makes up these crazy stories. Think about it, "if you got to go, you got to go" be an adult and communicate if you need 2 minutes in the restroom. She has nothing better to do with her time than to try to make herself appear important by taring others down and you are feeding this. You are making yourselves look bad by showcasing these ramblings.

    What happens if the injury gets worse due to lack of proper care and rest ????? Can you spell L-A-W-S-U-I-T ????

    I have never worked anywhere where people were so afraid to speak up and out.
    WM does not want to pay workers comp. to the injured.

    I am a 5 year sales associate. I have done the work of a supervisor the entire 5 years. This includes price changes, which the offical policy states only a merchandise supervisor is permitted to do. I have to have a manager sign on to the telxon because my job code will not allow me to do price changes. I am doing the work of a higher paying postion and not being compensated for it. It isn't even brought up during my evaluations. When I approached my manager about my this, she accused me of not being a team player and if I refused to do price changes, she would fire me for insubordination. When I used the open door policy and spoke to the store manager about the threat, I got the exact response. I would apply for an MS position, but they are doing away with some positions alltogether. How am i supposed to move up in a company when there is nowhere to move up to? After 5 years, I make $10.05 an hour. Wal-Mart changes you. I used to be proud of the work I did, keeping my department clean, stocked, and helping my customers, but now, I stare at my watch waiting for my shift to end. I don't feel like me anymore. 5 years of my life given to that place for what? Lower self esteem, depression, and regret. It's 2 am as i type this, tears in my eyes as I realize that I have summed up my life in a single paragraph. How do I escape?

    Burdow,
    From what I read, your one of the moron's that do not even realize when somone is screwing them over. I guess that is fine for you and it is fine that your happy with it. People that are not fine with it need to speak up. Mayby you have bad eye sight too, but people are treated badly all around you. If you do not want to stand up for wrong and right, just shut up and get out of the way. Does the government pay for that oxygen tank?

    Posted by Burdow's Daddy - March 1, 2010 10:17 AM

    Sean,
    Your store manager is wrong and I hope he shrinks his ego ass off. The MS should be the one doing the price changes. Yes you are correct and your store manager should have corrected the issue. NEVER use somones sign on. If the assistant manager gave you their sign on, turn that into corporate now. If the store manager knows your using another sign on and telling you that termination is the other option, clean his clock. Corporate has its ego problems also so you will have to be presistant. If you had a union, you would just have to go talk to your rep, but for now, go to your reginal and try not to get to frustrated. Walmart can no longer address issues in a resonable way. If you know history, they are becoming a company of the 1920's. They have turned expectations into abuse, and defend abuse by labeling it expectations. That their new code word I guess

    Posted by Tipical Sean - March 1, 2010 10:40 AM

    Scott,
    Let me explain what Wal-mart is thinking on the Workers comp deal. Some jerk figures if they are paying you, they are going to get somthing out of it regardless if you were hurt on the job and still hurting. This is were you can get them though. If your hurt at home, they make you go on LOA. If your hurt at work, they give you a "accomadation" and make you come back. This is actionable in court. An injury is a injury, and should not be treated different to pad a companies bottom line

    Posted by Jim Parker - March 1, 2010 10:51 AM

    MP,
    Thanks for your letter. Its really spells out what has happened at Walmart. They have forgotten that people make the difference, have the best ideas, and our the ones that make the customers feel welcomed. Now Walmart believes that someone at corporate knows best. People in the stores know nothing. There even coming out with a list from corporate because apparently we are all to stupid to plan our day. This list takes into account everything that happens in the store, corporate believes. NOT!!! Its just more stupidity and more of a disconnect. It is a example of micro management that deflates the atmosphere that made Walmart a sucessful company. I am a Ronald Reagan Rebulican, but the only way for the associates to have a voice is a union in this case. Contrary to belief, conservatives are not against unions in all cases. They served a very important role in the beginning of the 20th century. When companies began to take care of their issues, unions turned into more of a crime cendacation. Times do change, and right now the only way for Walmart associates to be treated fairly is a union. Walmart's ego is out of control. Walmart is in the United States. United States is not inside Wal-mart as it believes. Walmart has challenaged the people of the United States and treated many of its citizens "workers" like they are second class. We need a union now. Lets send Mr.Duke to the proctoligist asking, What the hell just happened

    I worked @ wal mart for 3 years and was in and out of the hospital on and off for the last 2 First i had a stroke then emphysema then sugar i have been pretty sick and my verbal written and d day was all from being in the hospital. I was assaulted by another employee and I along with others have been to management about him and nothing was done to him anyway I got fired cause i slapped him after he shoved me 4 times they said because i already had my d day next step was termination. WELL i pressed charges against him i had a big goose egg on my head and still get bad headaches. He is still \ suspended WELL let me tell you I had my day today with him and the J.P. And he was found guilty of assault .I AM suing wal mart for me being fired as a result of this man. How can they hold me being in the hospital against me ? Well they did . Our store manager knew I had trouble with him and lied to my face that she was gonna assign our jobs to keep him away from me. I was a very good employee and any one @ the store would tell you that. They all say I was treated wrongly so WAL MART SEE YOU IN COURT

    Today the walmart I work at rolled out the new system of letting the corporate computers make our schedules. We were told it is more efficient and that our store was over staffed. How can it be over staffed when we have less staff than we ever had and the same amount of business? Part time and full time associates alike looked at the new schedule only to find that they were cut drastically on hours.. and they were the lucky ones who actually got hours at all. If we signed a paper when we went full time that we could expect 34 plus hours a week shouldn't walmart be obligated to meet their own agreement with us?

    hello everybody my first time on here but what i want to say about wal-mart is that its true in how they treat there workers. the way i see it is if 5 workers can do a 10men job and barely make it they will keep it that way. the reason some of the worker are so rude to customers is cause they are over worked. i used to work for walmart then a insadent happened over some gift cards and i got fired. you see i thought what i was doing was helping the company but ended up getting fired. i explained that if i hurt this company in any way i would pay back the amount. mind you it was only ($65.00). i paid it back no problem but ended up to $400.00!!! walmart dont want to pay for the unemployment benifits to me. now what ever was paid to me i have to pay back bullshit!!!! i work for that company for 7years got paid 12.70 a hour but the job was very stressfull to the point sometime it wasnt worth. i still went to work with a smile cause a father of 4 now 5 children. that was the only sorce of income that was coming in. now im still looking for a job 3month later money running out soon, cause walmart dont want to pay one red cent. when i started working for walmart i was an unloader and started to work my way up the ladder. i started look at walmart as a career but started to seat and think so many mgt. come and go so thing change alot. for any little thing that goes wrong that employee get coached or even fired. my last position for walmart i was customer service mgt. and delt with alot of stress which happens alot. remember the 5men 10men thing mention earlier goes true for hourly mgt. not salary mgt. big differents. if the frontend cause for 10 csm and they let go 3 do you think you those 3 got replaced. lol the high mgt. (salary) says we are on a freeze on hiring, but are still hiring ppl then turn around 2weeks later to let some go. also its very rare for walmart to hire fulltime workers anymore. its cheaper to hire part timer to do the job for less money cause the worker think they doing something good for the campany. LOL BULLSHIT!!!!!

    It is crazy that Walmart would give demerits to people who call in sick. They usually hire older people for very little wages and expect them to come in even on sick days!!!

    It is a little crazy, this policy, coming from such a big and reputable company.

    Posted by Kegel exercises - Men - March 8, 2010 12:47 AM

    Walmart has also been known to be very strict against the formation of unions among its employees.

    Such tight monitoring of the employees cannot really result in good morale. I think they are playing a hard game because they know that most of their employees will find it hard to find employment else where with their qualifications.

    Still, it does not give them the right to do this.

    Posted by Penis Exercises - March 8, 2010 12:50 AM

    Yeah - I agree with the guy who wrote this post. It is Wal Mart that deserves a Demerit for being hard on their employees for calling in sick.

    It does not make sense. They just pay them minimum wages and still have the audacity to have such tough HR policies, not fair.

    Posted by Average Penis Girth - March 8, 2010 12:54 AM

    Wal-mart is going to part time employee's for one reason, to make it harder to organise. Many companies in America or proud to provide good jobs, Walmart is not one of those companies. Many companies strive to provide excellant customer service. Walmart is not one of those companies. What really sad and stupid about this entire thing, is the business they lose by being such a crapy member of our country could be recaptured if they were a better citizen. The employee's are baring the brunt of very poor upper management at Bentonville. Every Associate at Wal-mart needs to write Bentonville weekly. The District Manager is your only connection to Bentonville unless you start speaking up. Does He or She represent what you what to say? I promise you they do not.Lets be a good citizen of our country and our employer and SPEAK UP. It will take all of us to drowned out the ego's so they will listen, This will make Walmart a better place to shop and work.

    I would agree with mary walmart today is becoming more and more like hitler (someone who thinks there God) and yes I do work there and have for 4 years they treat their employees like crap and as far as sick days go marys statement is true one day missed because of being sick gets you a right up and forget about doctors notes and restrictions there responce to those are "OH we lost your medical papers" my responce "LIARS" if walmart would get off thier butts and treat their employees like humans instead of robots you might get a little more out of them.

    Why is everyone arguing about Walmart? Walmart...they run your life at the job and now apparently out of work too. Here's the simple fact: Every store is ran differently, it doesn't matter what HQ says as long as the store doesn't get caught disregarding the rules, they will. Nobody on here has the right to take charge and claim they know everything, because they don't. Everybody is entitled to their opinion, it's in the Constitution. If you don't like your job, get another. If you can't get another, then just deal with the problems, because it seems to me you really don't have a choice. Some people on here are turning this blog into petty arguing, it's ridiculous.

    look first of all walmart had change from bad to worst. plus just about every store are the same. i mean come on when you go to walmart after you get off from work or after you kids sports practice you go to walmart to shop. when your ready to leave when you realize 10 out of the 32 or more registers are open you in a line that is back up and your food is getting hot or melting. working there i see it every time. mgt. will try to get away with as much as they can. the reason for that many registers to be open and not more cause walmart is greedy with paying for more workers.if that doesnt change your mine then here is this. who do you think they send up front when lines are back up (workers that are cashier trained from the floor area), but if you take them from there area who comes and help the customers that need help hhhmmmmm they have to wait cause that worker in that dpt. is on the frontend on a register. so now that customer is upset and leaves we dont no how much money we just lost. all because walmart will not hire more workers. plus now if there is someone on the floor to help he or she has to take care 3 to 4 diff. dpt. ate a time because walmart agian was to greedy to hire more ppl. so now all the preasure is on all the other workers who are there. plus if your the one taken care of the 3 to 4 dpt. and if there are not zone at the end of the night even if its bizzy it a coaching.
