Your questions about wal mart automotive department

Wal Mart workers ATTENTION!?

Hey guys im an overnight stocker at wal mart and i have a question to ask any others out there. Do you have to stock more than 1 department per night? Lately ive been getting pretty pissed about the BS my managers give me. Hear me out, i go in at 10pm have to help UNLOAD trucks because the unloaders didnt finish so that usualy last till 12am. NOW i can go to my department(s??) and begin stocking. Usually i finish 3 pallets of auto by 2am, take lunch till 3, begin sporting goods and finish about 2 pallets by 5am, then i help push carts outside till 5:30, then i do around 2-4 pallets of furniture by 6am and finally i help pull back any left over freight FOR ALL DEPARTMENTS(is that fair?). They ALWAYS have me do automotive, then sporting goods and finally furniture. It sucks because most (if not all) the other workers only have to work in 1 department. I even took account the AMMOUNT of freight that needs to be worked. I think im doing WAY more than anyone else. I remember in the policy there was no sexism, or agiss. So what does me being a MAN and YUNG have to do with working 3 times harder than everyone else? Is this wrong? Can my assistant managers REALLY complain when i cant finish ALL three departments? Idk who to ask because idk if i can trust anyone there.

In MY own opinion i think im doing more than just being an “overnight stocker”. Apparantly im an, unloader, stocker, cart pusher, and i bring back EVERYONES left over freight at the end of the night. While i notice mostly everyone else gets only one departments and spends ALL night working on freight, nothing else. What can i do?

Girl at my work is acting differently; what do her actions mean?

So I’ve been working in the Electronics department at Wal-Mart for a couple months, and there’s this one admittedly cute coworker of mine that works with me. She’s a couple years older than me and she has a boyfriend who works in the Automotive department at the same store. She says that she loves him and wants to spend the rest of her life with him, but she’s been acting really weird lately.

I’ve been really accident-prone lately; always hurting myself at work somehow. She just recently started showing some concern and worry about my physical state. She always asks me first if I want to help her with her tasks in the department. And she always wants to know which days and times I work. Plus, she’s just started touching me occasionally, like my shoulder or my back. And she says I’m really funny.

I know that a relationship with a coworker would be unethical, so I’m not looking for that. I guess what I’m looking for is, is it incidental? Or does she mean something more?

Fired from Wal-Mart. Unfair Termination?

I have been working at walmart for almost 2 years until yesterday i was fired for stealing company time. On saturday april 4th,2010 i was scheduled to work at 7AM and i got to work at about 7:02 AM only to realize that i had forgotten my name badge. I, pulling into the parking lot realized i didnt have it and just hauled ass back home to go get it. Well when i came back i parked at the automotive side parking lot because i needed 2 tires mounted on my car.

i was 24 minutes late coming back so i went inside and clocked in. I then went to the time adjustment computer and went to do a time adjustment. When you do a time adjustment the computer askes for a reason and i chose the “Forgot Badge” option. I always thought we could do this and had done it numerous times before not knowing that i was stealing company time. So i changed to time from 7:24AM to 7:00AM because i thought thats what we had to do since personnel had told me i could do it a while back i didnt think nothing wrong of it. So i changed my time went back to the auto department and had my vehicle written up for the tire mount. I worked as a tech there so i just watched the other guy work on my car since we cant work on our own vehicles.

Well yesterday i was pulled into the office by my department manager and he started asking me why i did a time adjustment. I explained to him why i did it. He didnt really care about my explanation and just told me “Well i have been givin orders to terminate you because you stole company time”. He said it was gross misconduct or something like that. I was upset and i asked him for what? “I didnt mean to do it and its only 24 minutes!! I am sorry and i honestly didnt mean to do it” and he said “i understand but stealing company time is just like stealing produce”. So i was terminated basically for being a theif and stealing 24 minutes of walmarts time…that is $4.20 worth…what a bunch of jerks!! i am a good worker and always knew how to treat my customers. I always gave my job my 110% and never got in trouble or had problems. I asked him “Well then why is there a Forgot Badge option on the time clock adjustment screen then?” he said that that was for people that “lost” their badge. And he gave me a stupid explanation. He was stuttering and you could tell he was having a hard time finding words and explaining his wack explaination and his face was red. He basically said the forgot badge option is if u “loose” your badge and they have to make you a new one. Since when is “Forgot” and “Lost” the same thing?

Well i talked to the assistant manager and he agreed that it was a stupid reason to fire someone and he said if he could he would reverse the termination process but that he couldnt because his boss(District manager,Marketing managers) had made the decision to fire me. He was about to give me the DM’s cell number but then decided not to and i told him just to give me the office number because i dont want to get anyone in trouble. He gave me the office number and told me good luck and that they would be more than happy to recieve me back if the DM approved the termination reverse process. So i know they legally fired me but i have seen them give white people so many chances. I also learned that my friend, also hispanic like me was fired for the same thing. I have seen white workers do worse things. For example a hispanic worker in the tire and lube drove a car out of the bay that a white worker had forgotten to close the hood all the way…well when the hispanic guy went to park the vehicle the hood flew open and got damaged. The hispanic worker got fired because he was driving the vehicle and the white worker was givin 2 options…either he had to quit or move to another department….well he moved over to another department and still has his job…

I swear this store is unfair and i could almost say they have racial problems. I loved my job very much. I got along with everyone and always made sure my customers were satisfied. If i was asked to stay longer to help when we were short handed i always stayed. I also worked sales associate, service writer and tech all at the same time and wasnt even payed for being a tech..yet i was certified! i was the onyl service writer that was certified to work on cars. I never complained about it.

do u think this is funny ? have u tried any?

1. Get 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in peoples carts when they aren’t looking. (Special challenge – Only put them in the carts of people over the age of 65)

2. Set all the alarm clocks in the Jewelry and Electronics departments to go off at 5-minute intervals.

3. Make a trail of apple juice on the floor leading to the rest rooms.

4. Walk up to an associate and tell him/her in an official tone, “I’m Stockman Edward, we have a ‘Code Brown’ in Housewares. Page it out for me.” Stand back and see what happens.

5. If you’re at a Super Wal-Mart, go the Lay Away desk and ask to put a gallon of milk on lay away.

6. Gather up the orange ‘CAUTION-WET FLOOR’ pyramid signs and make intricate designs with them on the floor. Preferably in a carpeted area.

7. Set up a tent in the Sporting Goods department and tell other shoppers you’ll invite them in if they bring pillows from the Domestics department.

8. When an associate asks if they can help you, begin to cry and ask ‘Why can’t you people just leave me alone?’

9. Look right into the security camera, use it as mirror and pick your nose.

10. While handling a gun in the Sporting Goods department, ask the associate if they know where the anti-depressants are.

11. Dart around the store suspiciously while loudly humming the theme from “Mission Impossible”.

12. In the Automotive department, practice your “Madonna look” using different size funnels. Ask passing customers for their thoughts.

13. Hide in a clothing rack and when people browse through, say “PICK ME!” “PICK ME!”

14. When an announcement comes over the loud speaker, assume the fetal position and scream “NO! NO! It’s those voices again!!!!”

15. Go into a fitting room, shut the door and wait a while and then yell loudly “There is no toilet paper in here!”
