I wonder how some people ever got to be in a managerial position…….. How many good managers are left here anyway? I would say very little.
Walmart Harvard
How does a 2 hr meeting help sales, clean backrooms, help stock, set mods, fill features? Cause the world is happening while you have yor meetings. Now your 2 hrs behind and you expect everyone to catch.
Another genious walmart blunder
Someone explain to me how it helps to keep somebody that just worked a 12 hr shift an extra 2 hrs then expect them to go home, get enough sleep, take care of their family and come back in that same night and be expected to be 100%? You can't hold... — read more
65 % of Walmart store will be automated by end 2026.
This is per Doug. His contribution to the company before he leaves. My guess layoffs up to one million associates up to then. In spite of being the worlds biggest woke company people must be laid off.
Accountability
So why doesn’t management hold associates accountable for dress code, attendance? They sure preach enough about following dress code in store meetings, but sure don’t practice what they preach to the choir!! Absolutely no accountability. Associates... — read more

When will a government agency audit the billing practices of the optical? Patients bills are now going to collections, if I were a patient I’d be pi---d. Another case of no communication to the field. We have useless directors, regionals and... — read more
Walmart and the Future
So this is the way it's going to be for Walmart? More security (cameras and private security). US workers gradually replaced by robots and automation. Cheap (and smelly) sh*t from China, India, Vietnam, Honduras. Maybe this is karma after... — read more
Walmart closing half of Chicago locations (4 stores total) Sunday the 16th.
One Supercenter and three NHMs. I believe the Supercenter at 8431 S. Stewart Ave was looted and seriously damaged during the Floyd riots. Walmart spent millions rebuilding it, which was clearly a mistake but likely authorized at the highest levels... — read more
Walmart Closing 15 Stores In April, 3 In Illinois, 1 In Wisconsin

Personnel
Rumors have died down about the People Lead position going salary. Had it gone to the way side?
Pharmacy
I heard pharmacy getting a area coach now
Investing in automation
I think the push for automation will lead to more layoffs… Walmart said on Tuesday it expects around 65% of its stores to be serviced by automation by the fiscal year 2026. In a press release, the U.S. retail giant said around 55% of packages... — read more
Not shocked
This company could use manager training more intense because the one I worked at all the managers acted like they didn't care. Just fire random people and refuse to explain their new policies on their point system. So idc if they do layoffs I... — read more
They're just being greedy
They justify these cuts by the fact that they recently slashed its profit outlook due to inflation. Isn’t it more probable that they are just bring greedy?

What happened to the Great changes that were supposed to happen in vision center? Has anyone heard anything?
They are making this easy for me
So, when your supervisor throws you under the bus in front of a verbally abusive customer, even though it wasn't your fault and he well knew that, and then acts as if nothing happened and expects you to just move on... that's a really cr---y... — read more
Theft and the future.
What did everyone think was going to happen when theft is “not a real crime” Shut down the stores that are in high crime areas and focus on the areas that are profitable. Scan and go with current AP policy is not going to be a combo.

Brooklyn Center, Mn Store Closing
Store closing in April due to "under performance". Uhhhh, Yeah OK. It couldn't possibly be because of rampant theft ? Nah. Not in Minnesota. Go Woke. Go Broke. How's that social justice thang working out for you now ?

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... — read more

Is a management raise going to happen? New management rotation?
Good question
Walmart is best known for its brick-and-mortar stores, but Walmart is hoping to diversify away from relying on most of its income coming from there. Recently Walmart has been pushing hard to offer eCommerce options to diversify. Now Walmart... — read more
Bonuses
I think walmart should rethink bonuses since the coaches and team leads are the only ones to get them. We are asked to do the team leads jobs they are never in the departments always in ogp at our store and they get the bonus and we dont.
AP Team Lead
Can anyone tell me what the AP Team Lead schedule is like? Is it a rotation, or is it like mornings or nights? And do they work weekends? The job is coming in my store and I want to apply for it!
