So. 2020 was shit. In short words. And 2021 was supposed to be better.
I worked at Walmart for over a year. I’m completely grateful for it. I enjoy my job which isn’t bad.
However, we had a code white. And everyone was running. It all started when a man urgently asked for help because his lady was unresponsive and not breathing. I ran to get managers. But at the same time I feel like life stood still for a moment and maybe I didn’t respond as fast as I should’ve. Long story short. She didn’t make it. And it turns out, the poor lady used to work at our store a while back and retired nearly 5 years ago.
Rumors say that one of the managers who looked at the camera said she was yelling at her husband when it happened. They believe it to be a stroke.
But. Long story short. I learned that this is the 3rd death that has happened at our location. The other 2 were employees who were on the clock. One was overnight maintenance and the other was a lawn and garden associate.
It’s just weird. But I really don’t know what to think. And I’m finding it hard to do my job because I’m on edge about it all. :/
Meet 2021. 2020's more evil uglier younger brother. Think Leatherface meets Jason meets Chucky.
Things will get much worse before they get better. IF they get better.
I had a code white the night of the 1st, the situation around it just killed me inside and set the mood for pretty much this whole week. It really shined a light in how tied managements hands are when it comes to associate relations. Disgusting and depressing.
So at our 8am manager meeting my store manager said there was something big in the works for the beginning of next year, something we, as Team Lead and Coaches, would be happy about. He said he couldnt go into details yet, but that we would be happy when it happened.
Now, I dont know if there are any SMs who still troll this sub, theres used to be… But if there is one here who would be so bold as to share this big information with the rest of us nobodies, thatd be super cool.
Seriously unless it comes from the mouth of store management, or somewhere in the computer, that's all it is, a rumour. I'm so sick of rumours about my share and other stupid shit circulating for months now.
May 13 (Reuters) - Walmart Inc (WMT.N), opens new tab announced on Tuesday that it plans to cut hundreds of jobs at its corporate headquarters and relocate a majority of its U.S. and Canada-based remote workforce to three offices, a shift in strategy after initially endorsing virtual work during the pandemic. "We are asking the majority of associates working remotely, and the majority of associates within our offices in Dallas, Atlanta, and our Toronto Global Tech office, to relocate," Donna Morris, Walmart's chief people officer wrote in a memo to its U.S. campus associates on Tuesday.
Like other U.S. companies, Walmart is shifting its strategy towards more in-person work after years of pandemic-induced remote working. At one point it even endorsed remote work as the new norm."We believe the future in tech will be one in which working virtually will be the new normal, at least for most of the work we lead," Suresh Kumar, the head of Walmart's global tech operations wrote in a LinkedIn post in 2021.
