Soon, We'll All Be Speaking Wal-Mart

I work at a Wal-Mart store in Canada. I can't say where exactly for obvious reasons. They'd probably have me killed if they knew who I was because of what I know. There is a plan that I know about.

I heard the manager talking one day. He was in his office and the door was open a bit. There was a man in a uniform with him. He was whispering about an invasion. They said they almost had the whole world done. He said it was only a matter of time because everyone would be one of them and the weak and unpure would be destroyed.

Yes, he kept saying, you are the leader. I understand. We will have them all soon. Yes, Mein Furor. I understand. Of course, Mein Furor.

I watched through the crack while they stood and saluted. Their arms shot up into the air. Then the manager opened a hatch in the floorboards and man in the uniform went down into it.

Walmart Undermines Economy With Frivilous $6.87 Worthless Plastic Junk

It is one thing to compete, and it is another thing to play dirty.

Our company imports products from china, sells them to all independently owned stores, and last year we really got the shaft from Wal Mart. On a single day last fall during the peak shipping season we had containers coming out of china. Our shipping rep called us and told us the bad news.

Wal Mart held back a lot of their containers secretly, and then released 54,000 ocean containers in one day. Thats FIFTY FOUR THOUSAND! There is no reason in the world you would hold up your own shipments and let them all go at the last minute... Ok If you play like wal mart there is. They jammed up the shipping lines and tens of thousands of containers did not arrive by the Thanksgiving weekend to its competitors.

I had to pay and Extra $3700.00 to re-route our shipping from LA Port to Seattle, and go with the fastest ship there was to get our freight into the states prior to walmats D-Day landing of the ports. That is purely below the belt. They try to hurt their competitors.... Thousands of businesses did not get thier x-mas inventory from many vendors until mid december.

You think that was an accident? OK... lets back it up another year.

Walmart in the slow shipping season rents all the container axles they can find on the west coast. It's the slow season so all the shipping companies agreed to rent out their axles so walmart could do what ever it was they need to do with them. In the contract they had to be back by a certain date, or pay a penalty for each week they were not returned (of course there is much more to the contract but you get the idea). About November if you went our in the arizona desert you would have foudn thousands of container axles parked.

They paid the fees, and there were not near enough wheels to get shipments delivered out of ports. Once again... is this business or is this criminal? Just because it is legal does not make it right. Besides Each and every one of them have to answer to their maker, because the american people or so short term thinking that they cant see past the end of their nose.

Every ignorant wal mart shopper is casting a vote for lower standards for themself in America ultimately when they chose to set a standard of labor, price, and quality of life with each dollar they spend at wal mart.

Each dollar is a vote to lower the standard in America... the same wal martians will be screaming at the republicans when the economy colapses as but they undermined it themselves with a shopping cart. Get a Clue America. You are destroying the economy with your frivilous $6.87 worthless plastic junk from wal mart. I dont care if I have to spend ten times the price to shop at a company owned by americans....

Wal mart is NOT american. It is the 6th largest country in the world run like a medievil tryrancy of select nobility and 99.9% pesants!

WAKE UP AMERICA Dont feed the hand that bites you!!!!

Inside Information

We stole a box of blue vests and put them on mannequins. It was at last year's Christmas party. We dressed up the mannequins and got them drunk and we spit on them and bet them up.

A bunch of us at head office did this.

"That's what we think of you," said one of us. And the rest of us laughed and gave each other raises.

The one who smashed the most mannequins got the biggest promotion.

It was the most fun we had in ages. Then we all went to Church.

Salvador Dali Clock

WAL-MART'S TIME PUNCH CLOCK RUNS SEPERARTLY FROM THEIR COMPUTER SYSTEM.

IT CAN BE AS MUCH AS 5MIN OFF AND MANAGEMENT IS TOLD NOT TO ADJUST IT.

WHEN AN EMPLOYEE PUNCHES IN THE CLOCK MAY SLOW DOWN SAY 4MIN DURING YOUR SHIFT. WHEN YOU PUNCH OUT AT THE END OF THE SHIFT YOU BELIEVE YOU HAVE WORKED 8HRS.

IN THIS CASE YOU WORKED 8HRSAND 4MIN. YOUR PUNCHES SHOW 8HRS AND THATS WHAT YOU GET PAID.

YOU CAN BUY A $20 WATCH THAT WON'TLOSE 5MIN IN A YEAR. HOW MANY WAL-MART EMPLOYEES GET RIPPED-OFF EVERY WEEK?

"We don't usually put pretty girls on the parking lot."

Wal Mart is a company that severely mistreats its employees by denying them proper equipment, low pay, denial of benefits or working hours, and while they may be the world's biggest retailer, they are also the world's biggest liars!

When Wal Mart hired me, I had asked for a sales floor position and naturally, I was denied this. They made me a cashier instead and I was told in orientation that after 3 months I would be allowed to transfer to another department. There is the first lie. Once you are placed in that store, you have to fight tooth and nail to get out again. Especially if you're on the front end (cashiers, door greeters, cart pusher).

So I was a cashier for three months and it was the worst experience of my life! One night, my back started hurting me at work. I've popped a disc out before in my back, so I went and told the CSM's that my back was bothering me and I couldn't get anyone to come up and help me lift some really heavy stuff people were bringing through the line. I asked for a brace. I was told that cashiers didn't need back braces. I argued that I did because my back was going to go out.

They went to get me a brace. They never came back. My back went out and I could barely walk and I couldn't stand up straight at all. I began having panic attacks while working at Wal Mart as well. While I was on the registers, everyday before my shift began, I would get sick and throw up. I stayed nervous up there and I finally got to the point where I was starting to dislike people. I wanted to scream at them just because they came through my checkout line.

I had been a cashier for around 10 years before working there and NEVER have I felt that way.

Anyway, I finally snapped one day and started just flat out bawling in the store. I ran outside and sat against the building, trying to calm down. One of the girls that worked in seafood came out and sat with me and sort of talked me down. She has panic attacks too and apparently, so do half the people in the store. Management rolled their eyes at me when I asked to leave to go to the doctor. They said that I had no reason to have panic attacks and they can't understand why I would. They sent me home and said that even if I had a doctor's excuse, then it was an unexcused absence.

I finally got them to let me change jobs. I had to tell them that I would quit if they didn't let me change jobs. I told them that I would walk out right then. They told me that midnights is open and cart pusher. I have a child, I can't work midnights. I am a single mother. I told them that I would be a cart pusher.

They tried talking me out of this by saying, "We don't usually put pretty girls on the parking lot." This set me off. I told them that if they deny me that job because I am a woman then I would bring them to court and that I was sure that there were a lot of lawyers out there that would love to bring Wal Mart down for sexual discrimination. They let me go outside on the parking lot really fast.

Wal Mart hired me in under part time status, yet I worked 40 hours a week the whole time I was there. They would never give me full time.

My son began having trouble in school and at home, I think because his father and I were divorcing, so I needed to work dayshift so I could be home with my son in the evenings. I had also asked Wal Mart if I could have Sundays and Mondays off too, so I could go to church on Sunday and then Monday so I could run my errands. I really wanted Saturday, needed it for a church class, but they laughed at me when I asked.

So very suddenly, my hours dropped from 40 a week to 20 a week. Now, I suppose I was willing to deal with this for a little while, but I had a problem. I don't have a car. I rely on public bus to get to where I am going. Wal Mart scheduled me to work a couple hours a day, 5 days a week. It costs me 2 bucks one way to get to work, plus, I have bills I have to try to pay and food to buy... it just wasn't going to work. So I go to talk to management about it. I asked them if they could schedule me longer shifts during the week and just give me the extra day off. I told them why. They refused. They said home office doesn't allow them to do their scheduling this way.

I called home office and found out that I was being lied to. I began looking for another job in the tiny bit of free time that Wal Mart allowed me. Wal Mart, well my store, had a meeting a few months back that everyone was required to attend. In this meeting, we were told, by the store manager, that if we did not open our availability completely and let them schedule us to work whatever shifts and whatever days they wanted then we would be fired. This caused several people to walk out right there on the spot.

Someone called the newspaper about it and there was a huge write up about it. It was on the news as well. Customers began coming into the store to yell at management over this, especially after it was revealed that this rule did not come down from home office. None of the other stores had even heard of it. This new rule had come down from only the management in our store. Our store started to lose business and employees really fast then and they eventually had to change the rule back.

However, they will still punish you if you close your availability. You'll lose almost all of your hours and with the little crumbs they give you on your paycheck, it's impossible to live.

Promises, Promises: Needy Children Left Cold Because of Walmart

I had to close my t shirt business because they monopolized the Hanes T-shirts I was ordering and Hanes went and started selling exclusively to walmart... up to present day.

BUT most recently they have crossed the line with me.

They are closing our 'normal' Walmart store and moving 1 mile up the road to a "super center" I went in walmart during the final days before the move to purchase cotton fabric.

I sew blankets and give them to children in need though a non profit group, The store had a sign posted that they were no longer cutting fabric since the store was in transition.

The ONLY fabrics left in the store were their infamous 1.00/yard fabrics thrown in a large bin in the center of the fabric department. I went up front and asked "T" the store manager what would become of the fabric in the back. He said, "We are not moving that fabric to our new store it will be thrown away"

So I ask him to donate it to our non profit group, he agrees and says to call him in 2-3 days. I call as instructed to find out that "T" has mysteriously sprained his back and is on a medical leave for an undetermined amount of time.... So, I thought about this over night and decided to call the store again this morning, Spoke to another woman who said "Sorry 'T' is not in the store he is giving blood today"

So... I say "Well isnt that funny how if he is on pain meds for a back injury that he would be out giving blood", she transfered me to another manager who said... "Sorry we have no fabric left... I dont know what you THINK you saw but there are no fabrics left in the old store"...

Called back another time and the same manager "F" says... "Ohhh... sorry it was a misunderstanding... one of our nearby Walmarts came and picked up all of the 1.00/yard fabric and took it to their walmart store... SO. I say "bulls--t". They would rather throw fabric in a landfill than donate it to a 501(c) nonprofit and take a tax deduction, they prefer to leave empty vacant buildings in a town they sh-t on and left us with no other shopping choices.

We have no other fabric stores... they closed, Zayres, Hills, Ames, Tresaure Island, and on and on... No where left to shop and Wal mart would rather give someone in their community the run around than donate some crappy fabric... They can kiss my ass. I will pay 10 times what I have to for my products from now on . I will not set hand or foot near another walmart again.

Afro-americans or Caucasians Free To Steal at Walmart

I work in a 24/7 Walmart..Anyways...One night I was doing my work like usually(Stocking),and I see these 2 guys stealing and they knew I was watching them but still went ahead and shoved merchendise in their pockets and rushed for the door.I cut them off right after they go out the doors and told them not to to it again,

they left and cameback 10-20 mins later wanting to speak to the manager.So the manager came up to me ON THE SALESFLOOR and told me who was I to tell people what to do,specially afro-american people.I wasnt being a racist I was doing the right thing(At least I think so).I think he was the one who descriminated because he told me that because I'm Puertorican I can't tell Afro-american or caucasian or any race but prican not to steal.If I didn't see them it would be different because I would be acusing them but I actually saw them.

But Anyways I think Walmart needs to stop focusing so much on the costumer and care a little bit more for their "Assossiates" because we are the people that run walmart not some d-ckface in the main offices.We are employees and costumers.
WALTMART SUCKS

"Everytime some moron trips" How Walmart Works (Lesson #1)

Lets be specific. This letter is regarding the bangor maine wal-mart store.

I am an employee who has been with the company for several years. My gender isnt really relevant since were not seen as people most of the time anyway here. Dont get me wrong most of the staff are good friendly people and not all of our management is bad at all. However semi recently there was a company wide change to the system that produces our yearly bonuses.

For example we have our profit sharing bonus AND we have our safety expense bonus. Basicly if we sell enough goods or enough idiots manage to not fall down in our store and make us pay for it we actually get a bonus. However even the safety bonus is moreso based on bottom line profit than actual safety. And the safety team is just laughable.

Well.....when it was nearly time for our bonuses to arrive the company must have decided that they were too large and they could put that money elsewhere. So all of a sudden it changed just in time to nix both of our bonuses so therefore we got niether. At the store meetings the excuse we recieved was detailed in how the new system works etc and the store manager co manager and one assistant have all mentoned that it upsets them and that they would have liked to get bonuses themselves. So they went from there to make it sound like our fault for so many customer accidents and so many back injuries on the recieving team. Now on the subject of those back injuries.

There are very few members, usually 3-4 SOMETIMES 5 unloaders per night. And if everything isnt done specificly on time on many occasions every unloader gets written up. Many have been written up over 5 times and gotten d days over it. Its just corporate pressure to try to get them to quit to hire newbies for lower wages.

But the injuries come from being told to go faster and often carry several boxes at a time or you wont be done in time. To do team lift items themselves etc. And then when someone gets hurt the safety team has an orgasm and runs out to say how foolish they were to work that way. And managment nods behind them the whole time.

So that helped butcher the safety bonus due to this wonderful new system. Also we have 4 or possibly more workers in positions that by company standard are full time positions and these associates are working 40 hours per week and have been flat out told they will never be made full time. By state law after a certain amount of time passes working full time hours you HAVE TO be made full time and they are aware of this. At the week that that point is reached that associate will be scheduled for part time hours for that one week to break the cycle then restart it the following week. Anyways back to what i was saying before.

Everytime some moron trips on their own feet or doesnt watch their kid and it falls out of a cart or some kid throws a ball and hits another kid WE pay for it.

Now here is the bangor store specific part. Remember how i said managment was whining about how they wish they could have gotten a bonus?

A store manager at this location often would get a bonus of at LEAST $80,000 annually! Usually 100k or more from their own mouth this is confirmed. Well we found out where the bonus money REALLY went to. A couple of us were on our way to speak to managment and heard them talking and waited outside and listened to their meeting for a couple minutes.

The store manager still got an $80,000 bonus and each assistant manager who normally makes 25,000 a year salary was just upped to $50,000 in this area because of undesirable living conditions which basicly translates to the same winter that they lived through in this state their whole lives anyway. Most of the whole store knows now that we were lied to in the meetings and its not been mentioned by anyone in managment at all nor will it be im sure.
We cant talk about it in store because they will find a way to get rid of us if they hear it.

When that anti wal mart movie was released an unloader told me that they were told that if they talk about that movie they will be terminated on the spot. Several people have put in notice several more are going to shortly, and the company still wins because they will put some pimple faced kid in there for starting wage to work 25 hours a week. If you work in a wal-mart store sometime listen in on a managment meeting or two, you might be surprised what you learn.

There are much shadier things going on in this company, hell in this store, but as long as you remember to smile managment will never care enough to think you might know something.

Quick, Call Stephen King

This is totally creepy. There's a Wal-Mart just behind my house. One night a week ago I woke up and saw this red light on my ceiling. It was coming from the window. I went over there and looked out and the Walmart was on fire. All the windows red.

I woke my mom and we called the fire department. We watched out the window but when the fire department came they didn't do nothing. They went away again.

The red was still there in the windows. Me and my mom went out on the back yard. Maybe the sky was red my mom said and it was in the windows. It was almost MIDNIGHT. The sky wasn't red at all.

We had to go over because it was so weird. We got in the car in our pajamas and went up to the windows. There was red in there. Fire burning. But there was no smoke.

We were totally freaked out!!!! We went home and couldn't sleep. The next day we went over. It was Saturday and nothing was burnt. We just stood there looking around like we couldn't move.

The next night same thing happened again. We went over and looked in the windows. There were defanately flames everywhere but nothing burning up. But we saw something else. I did anyway. Mom says she never. There were little things floating around. They had faces that changed but they looked like babies. And they were screaming and crying.

I can't sleep now with that store glowing red all night.

Wal-Mart Profits From Employee Death

My husband of 27 years was a Wal-Mart assistant mgr. for 10 years. The last 4 years of his life he was working 75-80 hr weeks not the 52hrs he was hired at. Wal-Mart had started seriously short staffing their stores and the workload became horrible.

The last 3 days of Mike's life I didn't see him as he had worked close to 48 hrs .

On Sept. 1999 Mike called 3 times for assistance with a large tv for a lady customer, no one was available to help. Mike took the tv out and loaded it by himself. He got 20 feet back inside the store where he had a massive heart attack from over exertion.

Mike was only 48 and had passed a physical and stress test just 5 months earlier. I took Wal-Mart to court under NH workman's comp laws and won showing his death was work related.

Last spring my attorneys told me that WAl-Mart had a secret life insurance policy on my husband with Hartford Ins. in the amount of $300,000 which they had collected on shortly after my husband died. In l993-94 Wal-Mart took out 350,000 secret life insurance policies on low level employees who also had their health insurance with them. They called these policies dead peasant policies or dead janitor policies.

When an employee died WAL-Mart collected, not the families. I was shocked and outraged.

My husband never knew Wal-Mart had a large insurance policy on him. If he had known he would have been so scared. He would have said they hope to kill a few of us off and profit from it. This is immoral and wrong. The # l Fortune 500 company had to help get there by profiting from the deaths of some of their employees. Sam Walton would be so ashamed of what happened to his company.

My husband was a wonderful man, a king, not a peasant. Just the words dead peasant and dead janitor tells you what Wal-Mart thinks of their low level employees.

The American public is becoming aware that Wal-Mart has a dark side, a very dark side, which is fueled by their greed and wanting control of the retail world. If you know of WAl-mart employees who died from l993-Jan. 2000 their families should contact the union to see if there is a classaction suit in their state on the dead peasant insurance policies.

There are families out there who lost loved ones and Wal-Mart made money on it. I am now the lead plantiff in a NH classaction suit against WAl-Mart and the life insurance companies involved. My sons and I are upset and feel betrayed by WALmart.

Please let Wal-Mart know that it is wrong to put secret life insurance policies on employees and profit from deaths.

Thank you

what females they wanted to get rid of

Hi, for the last ten years I have been working for Walmart. I started in south Florida, where the customers are scary. Looking at someone the wrong way can get you cut, shot or sued.

A little over a year ago we decided to move to north Florida. The people here are great, I can't tell you how many times I've had some one hold out their hand when I'm standing up or grab for something I dropped while on the ladder. It's too bad that the managers at this store are the worst I've every seen. Morning after morning I come in to my department to find freight in bugies and break packs all over my department.

Management says such wonderful things like "guess you better get busy then." or when my endcaps had been filled with another departments merchandise. "yeah and guess whose gonna fix it"

Yes we have some real funny managers at my store. The men managers that is. After inventory they were so proud of themselves that the store manager, the male co-manager, as well as three of the male assistant managers went to the bar and drank while the female co and female assistant worked at the store. This is also the same "meeting" that they decided what females they wanted to get rid of out of the store. Yes we are all having a great time at Wally World

This just in: Walmart Rewrites Bible-- The New Ten Commandments

I am a vendor for an outside company.

I go to several Wal-Mart stores, 3 to 4 times a week. And as many of you may know, you can't get anywhere near some of these stores without a "Vendor Badge", I hate wearing these things, mainly because the mindless idiots who shop there can't read, or realize my name isn't "Vendor", and continually ask me where the tampons or dog food is.

So Today, go into the backroom to get my product (they let us keep the backstock in the backroom), and the Receiving Manager calls me by my product's name, and asks me to "look-over and sign" Wal-Mart's Ten Commandments.

For starters, this woman is a bundle of words that I probably shouldn't use. I looked over the document and signed it, and have done nothing but kick myself since. Not only do I not really have any authority to sign ANYTHING, but it makes a total mockery of "The Ten Commandments". It was a load of crap about keeping the shelves my product sits in clean, and keeping work space neat. And let's not forget number 10, Keep Energy Levels High. Eeech. First off, I didn't get hired by my boss to clean Wal-Mart shelves, and I don't get paid to be a jackass like Wal-Mar workers.

To top off the afternoon, as I was returning my product to the backroom, I took of my "Vendor Badge", the receiving manager asked where it was, after she watched me take it off. I showed it to her, and asks if it's broken or not working, I told her, no I just took it off, and she told me I needed to wear it at all times, I ignored her and left.

You may think I have a bad attitude, but let me tell you, this kind of thing happens all the time, it gets old. I can't stand looking at these people who have worked there for over 10 years, wearing their silver badges, so proudly, like they are soemthing special. What can you be proud of?

If I worked at Wal-Mart for one year, much less 10, I would eat a bullet.

--I prefer to keep my name and E-mail off this message for obvious reasons.

Walmart Special Olympics for Employees

hahaha this isnt exactly a horror story, more like something to laugh at b/c its so f-ing stupid.

well, i work at this walmart in westminster, md, and ive been there for about 3 months and so far everything is going pretty smoothly (from the stories ive been reading on your website, it looks like things could possibly get worse at my walmart), and about two months ago we had this new assistant manager start working at walmart. apparently he was about to be fired from the hampstead walmart for his incompetence, but instead he was just transferred to ours (thanks hampstead).

but anyways, there are a couple retarded moments for me to speak of. for example, around the time he started working there, he was working on a register behind mine (i was on 7, he was on 5), and while i was working and doing my cashier thing, he comes up behind me with a check in his hand and asked "which way does it go in?" he of course was referring to the autocheck. now excuse me for choice of words, but why the f--k should a lowly cashier as myself be needing to school an assistant manager on how autocheck works?

hell, even like 5 minutes later he needed me to guide him through the debit process. i was only there for about a month at that time and i picked up the whole cashiering thing fairly quickly considering they hired me with no cashiering and customer service experience, and i showed him how it was done like it was nothing. now im no genuis or anything, but shouldnt an assistant manager pretty much know the store inside out?

he also has a temper that he needs to learn to control, b/c from what ive been told, he's actually yelled at associates for being late for their breaks, when the situation at hand was way beyond their control. associates dont always get their breaks on time, and when things get really busy, sometimes they dont get their breaks for a good while.

i dont mind this b/c the later i get my breaks, the sooner i get the hell outta there. its not the associates fault that they got their break late, b/c if they just decided to get up and take their break instead of having the break given to them, they could get written up for stealing company time. and last but not least, what kind of sorry excuse for an assistant manager cant even lock the front doors of the store? oh yeah, i forgot to mention, the hampstead walmart that he worked at wasnt half as busy as the westminster walmart is.

thats almost like moving a special olympics contestant to the real olympics.

Peek-a-Book, We See You (Part Two)

Hello to Wal-Mart's public relations firm, Edelman PR, who visited our site this evening.

By the way, that was a lovely tie you were wearing. And your hair was combed just right. However, next time, please wear pants, and keep your hands to yourself.

They Crap on Associates

I AM AN ASSOCIATE OF WALMART AND HAVE BEEN FOR 6 YEARS. I STARTED OUT AS A CASHIER. THEN TO CUSTOMER SERVICE FROM THERE TO CSM AND NOW I AM THE DEPARTMENT MANAGER OF PETS. IN THE PAST YEAR, I HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH SEVERE MIGRAINS, 4 HERNIATED DISCS 2 OF WHICH ARE DETERIATING, NECK PROBLEMS, CARPAL TUNNEL IN BOTH WRISTS AND MIGHT I ADD I AM THE ONLY PERSON IN THIS DEPARTMENT. 55 POUNDS OF OL'ROY GETS HEAVY AFTER A WHILE. I WAS SEEING MY NEUROLOGISTS AND BONE AND JOINT DOCTORS FOR TREATMENT. IN THE MEAN TIME, I CALLED OUT OF WORK FOR 2 DAYS. I RECEIVED A LIFT LIMIT FROM THE DOCTOR OF NO MORE THAN 15 POUNDS. THIS WAS NOT ACCEPTABLE TO WALMART. WALMART STORE MANAGER CALLS MY HUSBAND LAST FRIDAY AND STATED THAT I NEED TO TAKE A LOA OR LEAVE OF ABSENCE. I RECEIVED ALL NESSASARY PAPER WORK AND SUBMITTED TO MY DOCTOR FOR HIS SIGNITURE. IN THE MEAN TIME, I AM ON MEDICATION THAT PROHIBITS ME TO DRIVE. WALMART DOES NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR FAMILY PROBLEMS OR YOUR HEALTH PROBLEMS. THE STORE IS SO SHORT HANDED AND THEY WILL NOT HIRE ANYONE ELSE. THEY SAY NO ONE IS PUTTING IN APPS. THIS IS BULL--I HAVE A FRIEND THAT APPLIED 3 TIMES IN 1 YEAR AND WASN'T EVEN CONSIDERED. THEY HIRE WHO THEY WANT AND NO ONE ELSE. MY DOCTOR HAS PLACED ME ON INTERMITTED WORK. WHICH MEANS ONLY ABLE TO WORK LIMITED HOURS PER DAY. WALMART SAYS THAT I HAVE TO BE 100% BEFORE I CAN RETURN TO WORK. THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE A JOB FOR ME FOR LESS THAN 100%..THAT IS NOT AN OFFER. AS A VALUED ASSOCIATE, I FEEL LIKE THEY WILL NOT ONLY REAM THE CUSTOMERS, THEY CRAP ON ASSOCIATES TOO. THAT'S OK BECAUSE TARGET IS COMMING IN RIGHT NEXT DOOR.. HAHA, MAYBE WALMART WILL FOLD SINCE THE WALTON'S DONT SEEM TO BE RUNNING THINGS ANYWAY. SINCE THE LOSS OF SAM, WALMART HAS REALLY GONE DOWN HILL. BET HE IS ROLLIN' IN HIS GRAVE..IF HE ONLY KNEW............THIS IS WHY I FEEL THAT WALMART SUCKS.

Naughty, Naughty. Bend over my knee for a good coaching

I have been working at Walmart for 4 years,at first I loved working there,then I liked working there,now I am looking for another job.

I can't believe how other walmart stores are exactly the same ,how they are being run understaffed.management are idiots,they hire new workers and cut the hours of the employees that have been ther! And my favorite is when you call off management has the right to either approve it or not!The other day I called off because my back was bothering me .and it wasn't approved!!!!! they told me about it because they told me that you shouldn't call off more then 3 times in 6 months otherwise you get a coaching!

They should supply us with vitamins to keep us healthy ! I wonder if Sam Walton is turning in his grave ? No wonder why they are anti union because

Walmart does what ever they want and they don;t CARE!

Someone Who Looked like Sam Walton (or was it Grandpa Walton) Shot My Dog

When I was five year old, someone who looked like Sam Walton shot my dog.

I don't know if it were Sam Walton. I can't be absolutely certain (because my lawyer told me that maybe my memory isn't rightly what it used to be, so just pretend like it weren't Sam Walton or make it seem like you're not certain, said he)

That was a long time ago. The man who looked like Sam Walton (but probably weren't him at all because he never really identified himself nor showed me none ID) told me he needed money from the dog pelt to help build a new department store chain that would sweep the globe and show us what it meant to be proud hicks.

He shot all the dogs on the block (BANG, BANG, BANG, up and down the street, while the lawn sprinklers made a pretty sound), except the little puppies. He never shot the puppies. He skewered them with a zulu spear.

He told us it was for the good of America, so we didn't report him to the police.

It's Just a Gash to the Head

My brother works as an Invintory control specialist at Wal-mart 1160. The other day when working in the backroom he was accidently hit in the head with a crow bar, tearing the skin on his temple.

When he reported the accident thye made him drive himself to the docter blood gushing from his head, because managment was at lunch. They couldnt have let someone drive him?

Then to make matters worse the managment team tried to talk him out of going to seek medical attetion. But after he returned to work, a member of management WAS avaible to take him for his drug test ( which is mandatory in workers comp claims) So if hes bleeding profusly they caould not drive him. But darn right they make sure he does go for his drug test.

Could Not Accept Her Transfer

I'm writing this for my Daughter-in-law. She is too timid to cause any problems. She has worked at WalMart for over 8 years. She isa good employee and never causes any problems. She is never late andworks many hours at their request. I would term her the ideal employee.
Two years ago, my son (her husband) landed in the hospital with blood clotting in his legs. It was very serious and they were concernedt hat one of the clots could endanger his life. After many tests he foundout that he has Lupus and a rare blood disorder that causes him to havethick blood. He is on medication to thin his blood and has to do bloodtests weekly. When he went home from the hospital, the doctor told himthat he was not to get up and walk. No problem, since he couldn't standlet alone walk. They have two children and his doctor told him not todrive at all. He had to go into the doctor every two days for testing.
His wife asked the assistant manager for time off to take care of her husband and children. The assistant manager agreed, so she took offfor two weeks. During this time she was paid for sick leave. After shereturned to work and was there every day for a month, they called herinto the office and wrote her up for not showing up to work during herhusbands disability.
Being the timid person she is, she did nothing. One year later she and her husband needed to move to Missouri from Sacramen to California. The manager said he would not approve the transfer. Afterseveral months he finally approved her transfer. This was necessary tokeep the medical insurance on her family. She applied to a store inMissouri, and was informed a few weeks later that he could not accept her transfer because of the write up. She applied to a second store who toldher they were only 30 minutes from her new home which turned out to be 1hour each way and his the fact that she had a write up. They gladlyaccepted her transfer.
The town in which she lives built a new Super WalMart store andshe applied for a transfer since she had worked at this one for 9 months. Two weeks later she was informed that they could not accept her transferbecause of the write up.
The temps where she lives can consistently go under 20 degreeswith snow and ice storms. The long drive has already caused her to haveone accident due to being over tired. Having to work 10 hours on thenight shift then having to get up early (5 am) and open the store thenext day.
My inquiry to the store manager about their denial of a transfer,when they had already approved one, was that it was corporate policy thatyou could not be promoted or transfer is you have a write up. Heexplained that she should have been given a packet for "Family Leave" tofill out and turn in. She never received such a packet.
I believe that the Assistant Manager screwed up by not delivering the proper paperwork to her and the store manage covered the assistantstracks by writing her up.
We have tried to encourage her to go to corporate with this, butshe feels that it wouldn't do any good.
