I found a new job and my last day with Walmart was October 13th. I still have not received my last paycheck. It has been 4 weeks today. I keep getting the excuse from te Market HR Director that someone was on vacation and my hours did not get keyed. I am so fed up with all the bs. I called the labor board today to get the ball rolling a bit faster. It shows you how they treat and really feel about employees who worked their butts off and left on good terms..huh? george of antioch, IL November 4, 2009 tried to apply for a job,told they needed,third shift stock,went to the cashier manager,asked to see if i could talk to a manager,denied,asked if i could give a copy of basic resume ,denied.i keep hearing about jobs. charles of hamburg, AR November 2, 2009 i applied for a job with the company, after getting back to me three weeks later and scheduling three interviews they finally called me in to finalize my paper work for me to get the job. while i was there, computer work was required and the store manager keith m. was having a managers meeting in the middle of my computer work and when i yawned he then sent me home and told me to not come back for a job. as to why he said this to me i have no idea but i felt it was unfair and i felt that he had wasted my time that i could have used looking for other jobs to wait for this one just for him to send me home and tell me not to come back for something as small as a yawn. i now have to search for another job after declining an offer due to the mis-leading of wal-mart thinking i had the job and time that i could have been using to find another occupation was used waiting for wal-mart and then being put through all of those interviews and paper signing just to be declined was wrong. Lee of Roanoke, VA October 26, 2009 Walmart insurance is the WORST insurance in the US. It pays nothing on your claims. Under the current coverage, I recently received a doctor bill for 115.00. This insurance is supposed to be 80%-20%. Insurance paid 24 and change, my portion was 77 and change. I don't know where you went to school, but in no way is that 20%. Since this insurance covers basically nothing but prescriptions, my husband(who is the employee) will not be able to have a much needed stress test on his heart. Insurance advised me that I needed to meet the 350 deductible, and then if the hospital was in the PPO plan, they would cover at 80-20. If not, it woulbe at 50-50. And this is only 1 instance. If you work for Walmart, you are basically slave labor. Minimum wage and the poorest insurance available. And all this from a multi-billion dollar corporation. I bet poor old Sam Walton is spinning like a whirling dervish in his grave at what his good intentions have now become. Leigh of Brighton, TN October 8, 2009 I worked for Wal-Mart for almost 5 years. I was a cashier in the beginning and they started pulling me to stock. I worked 3rd shift. Eventually, I was stocking in the pets department every night. I had to take leave of absence for 6 months due to an injury prior to working there. I came back in August of 2007. I was put in pets permanently. At first, I had help for aproximately 6 weeks in the pets department. She then went to another shift. I was left on my own. Mind you, this is a very large pet department. It grossed over 4 million a year and was 59th overall in all Wal-Mart stores worldwide acccording to my department manager. I was given help off and on for the next year and a half. I had to do it all: download pallets, stock shelves,restack pallets, and zone. Often, i had to pull pallets from the back,which was on the other side of the store. I did my job and I did it well,not bragging just fact. I was given an exceeds on every evaluation except my 3 month, I was given a meets, which is normal. As it turned out I was by myself more often than not. I had to stock dog and cat food bags,cans,box freight,and more. On 12/5/08 I was putting away the cat litter. I picked up a 35lb bucket of litter when something in my neck popped. I almost got sick to my stomach because of the pain and then it eased up a little. I thought I had pulled a muscle so i tried to finish. I worked for just a little while but could no longer stand the pain in my neck. I called my manager over,FRED BLACK, and told him i needed to go home so I could go to the doctor. His reply was, and I quote, "You know if you leave early too many times it counts as an absence." He said it very rude. I told him that it was the first time I had left early. He never mentioned filling out an accident report and neither did I. I did not because I thought I had pulled a muscle and I didn't want to cause them any problems,also there were signs posted in many locations that if you got injured you had to report it within 15 minutes. It turned out that I have 3 buldging discs in my neck and 3 in my lower back. They would not let me draw unemployment. They said I would have to stay on loa for an entire year before they would let me go. They sent my work retrictions to their legal department and said that i could be a door greeter only but at this time there were no openings. I would have to wait until a job opened up.. Later, I was told a different tale. There was not a job for me there due to my work restrictions. In the meantime i am sitting at home with no income and only my husbands disability. His check could not cover all of our bills. I decided to quit, as it was my only choice, and file for disability. I tried speaking with the market and store managers on a three way call to see if there was any way i could quit and still draw unemployment. Darryl, the market manager, yelled at me over the phone "What is it you want from us?". I said " there is no need for you to be rude, I am not being rude to you." The manager said that Darryl was in a meeting in a room full of people and could not hear you but he took the time out of his meeting to talk to you. I said "i can hear him just fine" and thought to myself why shouldnt he take the time out to talk with me i am a walmart associate, it is his job to talk to me. I had tried on quite a few occasions to speak with him and he told me he would get back with me but he never did. I said "All i want from you all is to be able to draw my unemployment until I can get disability." He said there was nothing he could do for me and got off the phone. I told my manager that he knows i loved my job, that i worked very hard for that store, and i did my job to the very best of my ability every night. He said he was very sorry to lose me and that there was nothing he could do for me. I have now filed for disability.I have been turned down by two lawyers to sue. If there is anyone out there that can help me, PLEASE contact me. Karen of Chester, SC September 26, 2009 I have a concern in the New Rock Hill area Wal-mart. The store has not worked with college students such as scheduling. Students are not in control with their college schedules. They are part-time workers. The Managerials are hard to work with and hard to reach. If you have a dr.'s excuse you are still considered an unexcused absence. This can frighten for students, because they need to work. The store should be held accountable. The quality of educations for our children must be acknowledge. Students are our tomorrow. Wal-Mart cannot play by only Wa-lmart rules. They must be in complaince with other retailers. I still love to shop at Wal-Mart and I will continue to shop at Wal-Mart. This is an issue that certainly and easily can be resolved. I trust that this matter will be handled quickly. Gregory of Emlenton, PA August 22, 2009 Back in July 2008, I was put in the Clarion county prison on false charges while I was working at the local wal-mart. While i was in prison i called Wal-mart and told them that i was unable to come to work. I was in prison for only 5 days till I paid to get out. My very first stop was down to wal-mart, the one manager told me i was not able to come to work that night though had to wait and talk with the main manager when he came in next. I came in when the main manager was there and he told me that for the time being they had to let me go. November 2008 my case was proven to be false and my record was erased. I sent my case files as proof that my case was erased to wal-marts home office. I stayed in contact with wal-marts home office for several months till the main manager of Clarion wal-mart called me saying that i could not work for wal-mart the rest of my life. Barstow of Barstow, CA August 17, 2009 The asst mgrs at the Bastow Ca. Wal Mart allow their favors to be bought by lazy employees. The lazy ones are allowed to sit in the mgrs office and chat with some of the asst. mgrs for hours while others supposedly doing the same job are out on the floor doing all the work. The lazy ones are allowed to do this because they bring food, Starbucks, and presents to some of the asst mgrs. then in turn these so called mgrs allow the lazy ones to sit in the office and get promotions without giving the hard workers a interview. The hard workers are constantly chastised by asst mgrs because the lazy ones are in the mgrs office talking falsehoods about the hard workers. That way if they are talking about others then the lazy ones feel better about themselves. Favoritism runs ramped in this stores. So many really good employees have left for other jobs and been promoted because of that hard work. John of McAllen, TX August 15, 2009 First off, I work as a supervisor with Wal-Mart Stores. I'm tired of hearing all these complaints about the associates, the stock and customer service. You need to realize that these associates, including middle to lower level managers are under constant pressure and are not being compensated for their work load, salary wise. You have to deal with upper management complaints on top of the same customer complaints I probably hear more than three times a day. I think people come to these stores and let their frustrations out on the associates. If, as a customer you have a complaint, take it up with a store manager, co manager, assistant manager or call home office. Any other supervisor or associate will not have the authority or information to do something about your frivolous complaints. I'm surprised more associates don't snap and attack some of these customers....I've seen this happen. We're human..we don't make as much as you think working here,for most...this place is their only option for a job. I as with alot of other associates hope we see some of you whiners off the clock so we can handle the situation outside of your safety blanket of mindless Wal-Mart lawsuits. My advice, show Wal-Mart associates some decency and humanity and you will be surprised how helpful they can be. Advertisement
