Thread regarding Walmart layoffs

Cutting hours after bonuses?

When we used to get bonuses back years ago they would cut hours the following weeks to make up for the bonus. So actually one would be in the negative. So really there was so bonus. We were rewarded with cut hours. WM is a joke. Glad I am no longer there. Awful company.:3wuo+1lyu6l7Z

I've been here for a very short time so I'm wondering if this is true?

“Probably fine” no they cut hours for FT associates they do not care. There were times we got cut under 34 except for the dept mangers for weeks. And I nor those others cut were bad employees.

That is nothing compared to walmart robbing $3 billion in PTO from old school hourly. The most important thing in any store is the managers a@@. That is #1.

In reality, and this might be hard to swallow for some people, but store management has the ability to cut or add staffing as well as cut or allow hours based on customer traffic, buying trends and other metrics stores use to manage headcount. And while it might seem unfavorable to some, store management would most likely cut hours on the associates that are less productive or less troublesome. Just think about it, if you were a manager somewhere and you had to reduce someone’s hours, you’d pick the one(s) with the least impact and keep the ones that help out or work the best for you. That’s only common sense. So, the moral of this story is this: if you’re a good associate your hours are probably fine. If you call in a lot, late to work, disappear during work hours, work too slow or have an uncontrollable mouth or bad attitude, you might be the one cut. You can say anything you like about the way it works, but it is what it is. Many stores are understaffed so if hours need to be cut (for whatever reason), they are going to pick the worst workers. If the situation were reversed abs you were making those decisions, you would do the same.

Yes. They would cut associates hours following bonus pay out. So for the next 2 pay periods (or more) hours would be cut significantly. So much for a “bonus”. Not the team leads but the regular associates hours like the previous commenter said. I feel like they did this when we used to get paid for holidays as well? Like they would cut hours so when they paid you for a holiday you wouldn’t really be getting anything extra it would just be like a regular work week. Shady company.

Ya, only salary and Team Leads get bonuses and they still cut hours. Usually not the Team Lead hours.

So yes that still cut hours and now their is no bonuses unless your in a supervisor position.
