Thread regarding Walmart layoffs

Walmart is their own WORST enemy

Walmart is their own worst enemy. If I had other choices I would shop elsewhere. This is hard to say because my family worked for over 50 years combined for this company.

1). Self Checkouts - 1st you make me check myself out...then when the registers have an issue (happens frequently) I have to track down a CSM....you’ve cut labor so short NOBODY is manning the front!! Found the CSM in the back office laughing with another.

2). Why do you have out of date product on the shelf? Oh yea...you cut staff do much that there is no one there to pull it...maybe you can train your DAMN robot to do it.

3) Carts all over the lot - where are the stockmen? Oh yea..you fired them all and bought a cart mule....except someone forgot to plug it in so no one knows how to push carts anymore.

4) Theft barricades at the front of the store....here’s a hint..these only open one way and it’s not the way toward the door in front he event of a fire....whose STUPID idea was that.

5). Why’s that endcap empty? Home office feature didn’t come in so we can’t put something there!! Really? Is this your answer? Does Walmart sell air? (I guess in Colorado they have canned oxygen..but I digress). Find something to fill the dang endcap.

6). Finally here’s a thought....Have a shareholder proposal that ALL leadership cannot hold their position untill they have worked minimum of 2 years on the front lines in the store - serving customers..(day, evenings, weekends and holiday shifts...(not 8 to 4).....and yes ...this included the imports...they have to work 3 years in the US stores to understand OUR customers) before they can start making decisions.

That is all for now......

I worked for Walmart for 9 years and this is totally true. They would make us fill and refill an empty end cap, then jump on us for doing the wrong product. Even though management knew they did not have enough of the product in the warehouse or in our store.

Like you can't even put the revival product up there for less?? Put Great value up there at least??

Holidays were a joke. You would be expecting a special promo item and it would not come in, until AFTER the window event happened. Like great thanks, corporate is coming to see that, really awesome that you picked our store to be short.

Again, they would look at the end cap and go isn't product X supposed to go here. Why yes it WAS. Oh, just put anything. Why was it only corporate that could make a choice that was so freaking easy even the workers could fill it with whatever.

Thanks to the original poster - Maybe Grumpy will read this and fix the stores. The endcaps in Grocery are pitiful - no stock all fronted out......Look good at 7am but trashed by noon on Saturdays - Unfortunately the robot didnt see it to get it fixed.

Some great stuff in this thread! Cex, in particular, I can relate to your post. i too drank a lot of wally kool aid for many years. I came on board in 2000, and the first several years were amazing---that company seemed like it could only succeed and continue expanding. It truly seemed invincible. ... I would say their power shift began around 2008, just after the Great Recession. That really turned the corner for retail in general, and definitely paved the way for online shopping. By 2012--15 the general environment and working culture had soured to the point of being insufferable, and I couldn't stand it any more.

I'm long gone from that operation, but I have many friends who are lifers there, and I feel very, very concerned for them. What's worse is, WM has been USA's biggest private sector employer....what does their failure mean for our country?

Comical bafoonery that gates were installed in store #100 with no one checking the fire code? That’s a managers poor judgement call because they let go of all the people that knew proper operating procedures… jack wagons… 😂

Stop complaining. WMT only cares about Identity Politics, diversity & inclusion, and equality of results. You need to self-identify as a person of color, as a person of the opposite set, and some other category that does not really exist - then apply for a job as an executive at WMT. You will probably get hired as an EVP in charge of equality. Then you can go on cruise control. Fire a bunch of straight, judeo-christian, white males, and you could be CEO. This is what you need to focus on.

box stores are over. all online 2-3 years. or just pick up at box stores. its already happening. we are no different. we have all but stopped building new stores just fixing up the c-ap we have currently. you can clean a pig, but its still a pig. i will stay as long as they pay me. only a job now and thats it. once upon a time i bled walmart blue and they owe me nothing, but we all must realize everything in life goes full circle,everything and everyone. i will remember the good times though.
