#walmartworker

I have to be there when we fire an associate for attendance. He shows up late constantly, usually "i slept in" or something simple and correctable, and im told by the coaches he needs to be fired and i knowwwwww im gonna tear up, choke up when im in that office firing him. I feel so bad. Hes a great worker, he just is late almost every single day by almost an hour. And especially with his ability as a worker, they feel robbed of his ability by him being late. Understandable. But did anybody vollunteer to ask him why hes late or ask him if hes okay? Or maybe giving a fuck about this dude as a person regularly? There could be things we dont know that are contributing to his lateness or unmotivation (maybe he doesnt like his position anymore?) That was neglected before it was decided that he should be let go. If my input had mattered at all, i wish any personal info i DID know about this guy would have been taken into consideration. I feel terrible and it wasnt even my decision. It was actually against my decisions because i had been clearing his late points knowing that this good worker would never have a crappy pointless reason to show up late. I know i can be a pushover as a manager sometimes but nothing makes me feel worse than taking someones livelihood away from them.

Have you seen one of these? So we were at #walmart the other day and they have now hired a Robot worker or something that follows you around. That is my son in the background saying "hello" so it wasn't that much helpful but the kids loved playing with it!

The walmart economy means taxpayers support walmart employees via welfare subsidies because Walmart does not pay a living wage but Walmart heirs remain the top wealthiest family in the world!

Hi my name is Joe I work in San Antonio where most walmart associates avg between 7.25 to 8.00 hr sadly some fast food places match or surpass this pay grade even local dishwashers avg 8.00 to 10.00hr and if that’s not bad enough I was a loyal hardworking associate and was with company 9 yrs at same store. my last pay was close to 13hr when working for walmart. in the earlier years was fun but later years they did away with a lot of things including lowering pay grade ..now my situation is in my later years I went through a separation with my ex wife and had my children and finding a sitter was a challenge that caused me to arrive to work late at times of course I would stay to make up lost time making sure they got their labor out of me but unfortunately I was given a D - day for tardiness for which I went 8 months almost making it to the year requirement to be released off D - day but there is when things went unfairly wrong. I was called to office saying I was being terminated  for taking excessive long breaks which we are required to take but on company time with the fact understood is we are responsible for only taking 15min so there’s no actual way of verifying your break but I was let go with this bogus claim which had nothing to do with tardiness which is only way they could actually terminate me but they did it anyway calling me on my D - day but was told that I was valuable hard working associate and can reapply at of course 8.00hr. so it appears it was scheme to get cheaper labor off a long term associate
