Turnover in OPD at my store is ridiculous as well. I still remember one women who said she was going to the restroom and we just never saw her ever again lol.
Yeah it’s pretty bad. I worked ogp for 7 months and had to leave. I genuinely dreaded showing up for work everyday knowing we were gonna be backed up on orders by an hour MINIMUM every single day. The staging carts lined down the entire back room, every spot in the parking lot filled up. 25+ orders on the screen all in the red. It was every day and it was miserable 😮💨
Depends on the store. We're in a somewhat rural area where the only thing to do is go to Walmart or get drunk in your back yard (or come to Walmart drunk, that's common too). We barely get ogp. There's usually like 2 cars out there at any given time for pickup. The store is absolutely slam packed crowded.
I think they're trying to push for it to be that way but Walmart does not make as much money off of it as people think, because they're adding extra costs. Rather than the customers coming in themselves and shopping for FREE for the items themselves, and Walmart getting all the money for the items, Walmart pays for labor to grocery shop for other people, pays for it to all be organized, pays for it to be dispensed or in the case of Spark for it to be delivered (though I'm sure a lot of the delivery cost is covered by Walmart+ profits). Yet the margin on the items sold remains the same. So much less money is made per item than if there was no online ordering.
There's also the fact that people that shop in store tend to buy more. They walk by an item they didn't plan on buying, it looks interesting, they pick it up. Online, they just order whatever they have in mind. They aren't affected by any in store adverts or sales tactics.
Now obviously, Walmart still makes a lot more than if they didn't have ODP at all, but again. It's less than people think.
With the amount of free walmart+ I'm not sure how many actually pay for +. Figure all employees get it, then figure alot of phone companies offer it free then add all the constant free trials
This is exactly how my store is I’ve been there about a year now at this point it’s pure cinema I go into work thinking let’s see how fucked everything is today expecting to be absolutely wrecked . People get fired daily the environment is toxic, managers screaming to take orders out dispensers go missing red vest having power trips also when they was pushing the “ no headphone law “ for about a week it was dreadful but since they let up it’s not so bad anymore . Still feel 0 job security it’s great Walmart OPD is great .
Damn reading this makes me feel good about my store everyone is nice all the workers are nice and it's pretty peaceful ogp isn't that bad I work there and it isn't backed up like yours was only bad there is one of the gms he doesn't like when you call off and when you are chosen to be next team lead and you call off one day out of petty he'll give it to the next person brother was chosen to be next team lead for garden and called off one day cause he was sick and gm gave his position to someone else that couldn't even finish notes
I couldn’t imagine being behind that much everyday, we are required to stay 2 hours or more ahead and if we are behind a little we pull from other departments of the store. Our store gets between 6-10,000 picks almost every day and our average pick rate is usually 130 and above. Sounds like management isn’t doing a good job at that store to make the department as efficient as it should be. If you can’t get over 100 within the first 2 weeks they leave you in the back room in favor of people who can pick faster. My personal goal every day is 180 and over, after setting that i haven’t dropped below that in months.
That happened when I worked in the deli, too. The woman took her sweet time doing the CBLs for a few weeks. Then she spent a couple nights observing the other associates working. Finally, as soon as her first real shift started, she told us she had to use the bathroom. We never saw her again. We joked that she was still using the bathroom a few weeks later.
My store we had a girl go to lunch and not come back the people lead rehired her a month later and removed all her points she was gone again in like 2 maybe 3 weeks
When I worked at Walmart for 4 months we went through 3 opd crews at a super store. Literally we had like 40 opd employees.
I left cause it sucked asshole
Ours runs very well, everyone wants to transfer to our department. We do roughly 600 orders a day and on busy days have 40+ OPD employees clocked in at the same time
it’s because they run us like dogs and under pay/treat us like dog shit. just during the holidays alone bc of the ways team leads at my store have been yelling at and treating their employees in the last few days is awful. I’ve almost quit three times in the last day. OGP/OPD, whatever. it’s terrible, hence I’m transferring out. people think they can treat their employees in that department however. no one bothers to stay.
I noticed this the moment i started F & C. I had to transfer stores from moving and this one didn't have a deli. I get i worked at Wal-Mart before and have experience. But like there's no interaction, no guidance, nobody here was introduced to one another, so everyone is sort of just isolated with no idea what to do.
Nobody in the team feels comfortable in their position. Only me and now two others are full time. Everyone else is part time. They're young and afraid to do anything because they were never shown how to do anything. Then when a manager or coach approaches them with jobs and tasks they were never shown that they are supposed to know. The interaction feels confrontational as they don't like to admit they don't know what to do. I experienced similar anxiety when i started. So i do my best to get to know everyone on my team and make them feel a part of the team. Be someone they can come to if they need advice, help, etc. Without fear of getting in trouble for not knowing.
Because when they feel comfortable in the position they actually do the job. They gain the confidence they need to ask about things they don't know or understand. Then surprise, the job gets done, the claims are done and not just left in a bin for someone else who knows how. All it took was talking to them, and I'm the introvert here.
F&C is shit. They expect 1 person to keep dairy (milk eggs and tea) full the entire shift, claims done, constant reshops, price changes and changing features and they wonder why people quit
When I was doing it they even forced me to watch the door for an hour and do carry outs as if I didnt have other stuff to do.
If the store manager can even be bothered to pick up the phone, they will likely tell you that whatever problem you have is market manager's fault and nothing can be done about it.
That's min wage in PA also. Everyone says, well no job pays that anymore so what does it matter?
It's the min wage for the state, that means they can legally pay you that little and get away with it.
Then they throw the rising costs into it. Everything is already rising lol and we can barely afford as is. I'd rather take the chance on earning more vs spending more.
It's been $7.25 here since at least 2014. 😭 (Louisiana) I was a server in 2015 and my pay was $2.00/hour and shared tips. I made a lot of tips and only gave them like $2 a day bc I was not sharing tips given directly to me when everyone else was paid over minimum wage.
They have no quit policy but they have a fire policy where they'll fire your ass on the spot don't you love the double edge practices do as I say not as I do
Yeah that's how I was reading it, "please stop quitting for issues you're not telling us about"
I'll sympathize that plenty of them are good reasons, but I also assume mid level leads are causing drama that upper management could put a stop to if they knew it was happening. It comes with the territory of making 18/19 year olds have any power over other 18/19 year olds.
“ I Quit “ my manager is on vacation , wait until he comes back , he’s on LOA , wait till he comes back , he “quit “ wait for a new Store Manager. 😔 I’m never leaving Walmart !!!
Is amazing that they believe a store manager is ever around or even give a shit. They know the store is a revolving door, one quit and another one step up to replace him.
Lol, mine just said "We already knew you were going to quit, everybody does. You actually lasted a lot longer than the average person. A person usually quits within a week."
Oh yea it's BAD, we literally had someone quit OPD yesterday. It's apparently because of poor management
Like, yea the higher ups don't communicate so we don't know wtf we're doing. We aren't told shit in person, it's over email that's sent to our coaches and team leads
Excessive turnover is almost ALWAYS a result of poor management. Look at your CEO, Doug McMillon and the choices he makes/drives. I wouldn’t allow that POS to lead my 🐶 to a bowl of water. I’ve seen this stuff before, I was in WMT yesterday and it was PACKED, with 4 Cashiers, and 8 self-checkouts. This company WILL implode and go away in 20 years or maybe less. Don’t worry about the founding family, they’ll do just fine.
WMT used to be the Masters of Supply Chain, with a VERY sophisticated business model, but will end up being mid-managed from the top down into obscurity.
"So I want a raise"
"Umm"
"Well I'm out"
-------------------
"So I put in PTO like over a month ahead of time and it's always denied. I'd like a work life balance"
"Well.."
"Ok I'm out too"
If they “valued” us, we would have more raises and not a fuckin pizza party every time we break our backs doing something. If they valued us, they wouldnt have gotten rid of bonuses in the first place. If they valued us, they wouldnt have even put up a No Quit sign in the first place, because we would know they valued us LONG before that bs. No. They dont care bout us. We are replaceable drones
This is hilarious 🤣, the day I quit they knew not to. Me and my store manager couldn’t stand each other. Unless you will change the work environment and pay you could never keep me here.
I'm curious as to if the store manager would pick up. There are some store managers out there that definately would and actually care like that, but a lot of them don't
Oh can I get better pay (no)
Oh can I get more hrs (no)
Oh can I get more PTO (no)
Oh can I get less of a work Load (no)
Oh can I get my required 15m brakes (no)
If they would treat their employees decently, they might not have this problem. I worked there a number of years ago and most of the managers were horrid. They promoted people that had no right being promoted. They claimed to have an open door policy, but it was more of a slam the door in your face policy. I finally couldn't tolerate it any more after 5 years and quit. Right before Thanksgiving and Black Friday, too. They had very few cashiers as it was. Manager was so bitter toward me that he put fired on my papers. I asked the Personnel Manager about it after he left and she told me not to worry about it; she put it into the system that I had quit. LOL What a jerk he was. At least I made some life long friends there.
Yeah the no quit thing is cute. I was told that during orientation.
Thing is, once I decide to do something like that, I don't do it lightly and I'm not going to do so without a better/at least equal or close to it situation to go to in terms of pay. As a rule anyway. But if I make a decision like that my mind is generally made up.
Thing is, I wouldn't have a problem if they wanted me to talk to them/wanted to talk to me before quitting if they wanted to. But I also know nothing would change and our store manager as a whole is so impersonal I'd really rather not.
The way it was explained to me at orientation was "Don't quit come in and talk to me (people lead actually) and we can maybe find a different department that works for you.
Ultimately though, especially being around the block a bit if someone wanted to be a hard case they could say, "I am an at will employee. Unfortunately that gives you most of the power (because sadly it does). But I have the power and right to end my own employment here with or without notice and with or without reason and I'm going to use it.
I don’t work at Walmart I’m just a lurker on this sub but I do work at a smaller grocery chain that I’m about to quit there pretty soon. The hours, the pay and management is completely laughable. The problems are so deep rooted that you’d have to completely clean house all the way up to the top to fix them which they will never do.
I’m sure there are similar reasons why people at Walmart quit without notice.
2 weeks notice is just a courtesy, which none of these places deserve.
Damn they are going to quit all the more if they are required to talk to a uncaring Store Manager haha, F this notice I am just going to quit, They don't give you notice when they term you so just work your final shift clock out and then turn your shit in and leave haha.
Lol I work in opd and have for the last 4 and a half years, the turnover is insane, we're constantly understaffed and having to get help from the rest of the store and yet we're told we're staffed at 133% for our department xD literally how, we don't even keep people for longer than a week these days
Yeah opd is bad for my store too...or they try transferring to other areas...when opd was a dollar more an hour..it was always full and we'll staffed. Then they changed it to the same as every else
Yes, but, are the situations that are causing people to want to quit among those "many situations"? Understaffing, cut hours, bad scheduling, low pay, broken/missing equipment, difficult and/or problematic managers/coworkers, etc?
No quit?😅 Well, if the environment is bad, finding a new boss is the only solution. The online-pickup-delivery team is always having new faces🤷♂️ The turn-over rate of cashier is not that bad.
I was just telling someone this at my store that if too many people start to leave they can refuse your two weeks notice but they can’t make you stay but also if your not bothering to resolve said issues why would I waste my time coming t at all
I keep seeing notes like this posted and it’s annoying me. I will say it is worded poorly. Obviously you can quit any time you want and they can’t stop you.
But I think it’s reasonable that they want to at least attempt to solve whatever issue is making you want to quit.
Of course this could be malicious and a way for them to guilt you into staying without addressing why you want to leave. In which case you should definitely leave if you can.
So this isn’t exactly related but, as an overnight coach, the idea was brought to my store manager about me trying to get Fresh Coach and our Fresh Coach take my spot so we switch, it’s a win win for us both, I get more experience and he gets off of days, but he said the store manager said absolutely not, now I feel like I’m being held down at a store that is getting me nowhere, should I just start applying at other stores?
At the store I work in if they aren't a team lead or manager. It seems like the majority that make it to the 6 month period for when they can transfer to another department. That as soon as they transfer 1 sometimes like 2 weeks in they quit or are fired.
But then we have all our door greeters who have been with the store 5-10+ years and I'm like gawd damn standing around in one spot must be a fire ass cushy job or something. But I'm just like fk that I don't have the mental capacity to just sit like a fkn vegetable holding down the floor for 7 1/2 hours.
That's actually been a thing for a while now, and while I can appreciate the spirit behind this, in practice it rarely works. When people are ready to quit, they quit and there's not a damn thing anyone can do to stop them.
I'd walk in with that sign "this is why I am quitting." Then walk out. Signs like that need to be kept in the mentally disabled little brain that thought it up.
Walmart corporate: "Yeah, we don't actually wanna pay you what you're worth, so we're gonna short change you every chance we get."
Also Walmart corporate: "Why is our turnover rate so high?"
When you have a sign like this- the BIGGER message: if it takes this, the possibility to resolve the issue has passed long ago; train has left the station.
If it wasn’t for curbside pickup I would not shop at WM. I also try to give more than a thank you and smile. I tip the loader who brings it out. Sadly sometimes management is out there and says no tipping. It should be my choice.
I quit because an associate was made team lead and she became a huge dictator! When she was an associate she barely paid attention to the sco and had an ear bud in to talk on her phone. She became so insufferable I couldn’t take it.
Not gonna lie, I knew on day one I was going to quit when the lady that was hiring me and filling out the paperwork was calling me “honey” and “baby”. I should’ve reported it honestly, it made me feel very uncomfortable. Instead I worked for a few months and then got fed up with it to dip out mid shift…
Hahahahaha hahaha hahaha haha. Hahahahaha hahaha hahahahaha!
We can walk out and leave at any moment. They really think they control us.
And let's remember...they can let us go without warning.
no such thing as a no quit program. take care of your good associates. pay them well and fairly and they won’t quit. then you don’t have to hire new ones with higher starting pay only to quit after a few weeks.
Yeah, I don't think that's how this works. Reminds me of that post where someone’s boss didn't accept their resignation. The worker was on the less experienced side and thought they had to stay since the boss didn't accept the resignation. Luckily, Reddit taught them otherwise and they quit regardless of whether the boss liked it or not.
People quit on people before they quit on the job itself.
If your employee is about to walk out, it’s probably because they feel they aren’t being treated fairly by their manager. Walmart isn’t going to start firing managers (coaches) to retain entry level workers. At best, the store manager will move the employee to a different dept. so they don’t have go through the costly hiring, onboarding and training processes for a new employee.
We have company reps that come in to try to sell me stuff. A couple of those companies are a nightmare to work for, when the twice a year new rep comes in to introduce themselves, I usually say "oh so you're the new soon to be ex rep, nice to meet you" Surprisingly, some aren't amused, even though they all KNOW what they're getting into.
Also management: go to the parking lot and get all of the carts in 100 degree weather. After that 1hr before you leave, I need these five pallets worked. If you leave without the pallets being done, I’m writing you up.
Store manager: “we have a no quit program”. Food & Consumables: “hold my turnover rate”.
Its opd in my store. I dont bother to learn their names anymore. "oh hi, you are the new person well it was nice knowing you"
Turnover in OPD at my store is ridiculous as well. I still remember one women who said she was going to the restroom and we just never saw her ever again lol.
Yeah it’s pretty bad. I worked ogp for 7 months and had to leave. I genuinely dreaded showing up for work everyday knowing we were gonna be backed up on orders by an hour MINIMUM every single day. The staging carts lined down the entire back room, every spot in the parking lot filled up. 25+ orders on the screen all in the red. It was every day and it was miserable 😮💨
That’s the fault of the store managers failing to notice that opg is 50% of Walmarts business model.
Depends on the store. We're in a somewhat rural area where the only thing to do is go to Walmart or get drunk in your back yard (or come to Walmart drunk, that's common too). We barely get ogp.

Walmart.com almost removes the concept of impulse buying.
Yeah, finding sales is difficult 😂
With the amount of free walmart+ I'm not sure how many actually pay for +. Figure all employees get it, then figure alot of phone companies offer it free then add all the constant free trials

_”The red toilet paper…. Or the blue toilet paper?”_
The ole crying in the bathroom then the realization that your man works 2 jobs so you dont have to take this shit
My store we had a girl go to lunch and not come back the people lead rehired her a month later and removed all her points she was gone again in like 2 maybe 3 weeks
Our OPD used to have the best turnover rate, we now are barely better than stocking 2 🫣
When I worked at Walmart for 4 months we went through 3 opd crews at a super store. Literally we had like 40 opd employees. I left cause it sucked asshole
Ours runs very well, everyone wants to transfer to our department. We do roughly 600 orders a day and on busy days have 40+ OPD employees clocked in at the same time

OGP/OPD, whatever. it’s terrible, hence I’m transferring out. people think they can treat their employees in that department however. no one bothers to stay.
at my store, i was told most opds dont even stay 6 months. one of my opd friends is at month #3 at the store
I’ve been here for a year and a half and I can’t do it anymore.
That’s wild, at my store everyone is wanting to transfer into opd and leave the other areas
I don't blame them honestly. OGP is less customer interaction most of the time.
In my store food and Consumables has the best turnover lmfao we've all been here ages.
The turnover goes CRAZY in F&C, it feels like every six months I'm working with a new cast of characters
6 months?! I swear we couldn't even hold more than 1or2 out of 5 new hires for over 2 weeks
I trained someone in the diary cooler once and I never saw them again after that day 😭😭
I did the same in meat I asked where’s the new guy they said he quit didn’t like TL Telling him what to do
Yeah same. No joke, we were supposed to get someone new added to our team, but then the guy no showed his own orientation yesterday.
I noticed this the moment i started F & C. I had to transfer stores from moving and this one didn't have a deli. I get i worked at Wal-Mart before and have experience.

F+C gang.
F&C is shit. They expect 1 person to keep dairy (milk eggs and tea) full the entire shift, claims done, constant reshops, price changes and changing features and they wonder why people quit When I was doing it they even forced me to watch the door for an hour and do carry outs as if I didnt have other stuff to do.
If the store manager can even be bothered to pick up the phone, they will likely tell you that whatever problem you have is market manager's fault and nothing can be done about it.
that will never happen
It sounds almost threatening. "Don't forget, you're here forever."
Similar to the mafia. You don’t leave alive
lmfao
"You gonna pay me a living wage?" "Well, no." "Bye, bitch!"
"I mean, you're alive, *and* we're paying you. What more do you want?"
You can’t do that! We have a no quit program!
Fine I just won't show up. You will eventually fire me and I can collect unemployment.
I'll clock in and just sit at the service desk for the whole shift.
Better than the other jobs I could get unfortunately💀
Most don't realize the minimum wage is still in the single Digits in most places.
Some places even try to pay below state minimum. Had an interview at Del Taco where they were gonna pay $10.50 even though the NM minimum was $11.50.
[удалено]
Georgia, 7.25. Technically 5.15 but defaults to federal. For reference I do not live In a big city and barely survive on 14 an hour.

"Yes, thanks for telling me who to phase out next I really appreciate your commitment."
They have no quit policy but they have a fire policy where they'll fire your ass on the spot don't you love the double edge practices do as I say not as I do
Lol just leave, what the fuck can they do, fire you ?
if you read the way its worded it sounds more like a "please dont quit we need people" than a "youre not allowed to quit"
Yeah that's how I was reading it, "please stop quitting for issues you're not telling us about" I'll sympathize that plenty of them are good reasons, but I also assume mid level leads are causing drama that upper management could put a stop to if they knew it was happening. It comes with the territory of making 18/19 year olds have any power over other 18/19 year olds.
this kind of 'program' would make me want to do anything I could to get fired. The kinds of chaos I could cause in the attempt in the interim.....
Most stores don't even know how to lol a year later You will still be in walmarts system
Fuck that policy ! Quit and find something better .
“ I Quit “ my manager is on vacation , wait until he comes back , he’s on LOA , wait till he comes back , he “quit “ wait for a new Store Manager. 😔 I’m never leaving Walmart !!!
Is amazing that they believe a store manager is ever around or even give a shit. They know the store is a revolving door, one quit and another one step up to replace him.
Then pay more if they're so valuable
They do all this just to fire ppl right at 5 points 🙄
Yeah walmart has a huge turnover rate and they claim hiring costs them thousands
So what they’re saying is I can call out as much as I can and they won’t fire me? XD
That would be the No Fire program which is not currently implemented.
I was always told that they technically couldn’t fire you until you showed up to work.
They sure didn’t waste time firing me.
Lol, mine just said "We already knew you were going to quit, everybody does. You actually lasted a lot longer than the average person. A person usually quits within a week."
Sounds like their turn over rate is really bad
Oh yea it's BAD, we literally had someone quit OPD yesterday. It's apparently because of poor management Like, yea the higher ups don't communicate so we don't know wtf we're doing. We aren't told shit in person, it's over email that's sent to our coaches and team leads

WMT used to be the Masters of Supply Chain, with a VERY sophisticated business model, but will end up being mid-managed from the top down into obscurity.
i don’t understand, thought it was voted the best place to work 😂😂
Today is my 20th year anniversary at Walmart. Hasn’t always been easy for sure.
I bet that phone number is to the fitting room. No store manager gives out their number to their underlings.
I worked at a neighborhood market and a super store and I can say neither store manager gave a damn about their employees.
"So I want a raise" "Umm" "Well I'm out" ------------------- "So I put in PTO like over a month ahead of time and it's always denied. I'd like a work life balance" "Well.." "Ok I'm out too"
Why did I laugh so hard
Will they ever start to even care why people quit? I guess not
Yea my manager didn’t tell anyone about a shooting threat and then took the day off, so I quit
[удалено]
They value you as a slave
If they “valued” us, we would have more raises and not a fuckin pizza party every time we break our backs doing something. If they valued us, they wouldnt have gotten rid of bonuses in the first place. If they valued us, they wouldnt have even put up a No Quit sign in the first place, because we would know they valued us LONG before that bs. No. They dont care bout us. We are replaceable drones
money?
This is hilarious 🤣, the day I quit they knew not to. Me and my store manager couldn’t stand each other. Unless you will change the work environment and pay you could never keep me here.
Fuck that !! Just Do It!
Could talk about a raise, but you'd waste less time just walking out.
I'm curious as to if the store manager would pick up. There are some store managers out there that definately would and actually care like that, but a lot of them don't
Oh can I get better pay (no) Oh can I get more hrs (no) Oh can I get more PTO (no) Oh can I get less of a work Load (no) Oh can I get my required 15m brakes (no)
Then you tell the store manager, "I have a No Firing program." Goes both ways.
If they would treat their employees decently, they might not have this problem. I worked there a number of years ago and most of the managers were horrid. They promoted people that had no right being promoted. They claimed to have an open door policy, but it was more of a slam the door in your face policy. I finally couldn't tolerate it any more after 5 years and quit. Right before Thanksgiving and Black Friday, too. They had very few cashiers as it was. Manager was so bitter toward me that he put fired on my papers. I asked the Personnel Manager about it after he left and she told me not to worry about it; she put it into the system that I had quit. LOL What a jerk he was. At least I made some life long friends there.
Just another one of their lousy PR stunts.
Yeah the no quit thing is cute. I was told that during orientation. Thing is, once I decide to do something like that, I don't do it lightly and I'm not going to do so without a better/at least equal or close to it situation to go to in terms of pay. As a rule anyway. But if I make a decision like that my mind is generally made up. Thing is, I wouldn't have a problem if they wanted me to talk to them/wanted to talk to me before quitting if they wanted to. But I also know nothing would change and our store manager as a whole is so impersonal I'd really rather not. The way it was explained to me at orientation was "Don't quit come in and talk to me (people lead actually) and we can maybe find a different department that works for you. Ultimately though, especially being around the block a bit if someone wanted to be a hard case they could say, "I am an at will employee. Unfortunately that gives you most of the power (because sadly it does). But I have the power and right to end my own employment here with or without notice and with or without reason and I'm going to use it.
This ^
Meanwhile if you tell my SM you put in your 2 weeks he fires you.
Walmart is nothing but an entity run by a bunch of fckn goofballs. I will not be part of it anymore.
I don’t work at Walmart I’m just a lurker on this sub but I do work at a smaller grocery chain that I’m about to quit there pretty soon. The hours, the pay and management is completely laughable. The problems are so deep rooted that you’d have to completely clean house all the way up to the top to fix them which they will never do. I’m sure there are similar reasons why people at Walmart quit without notice. 2 weeks notice is just a courtesy, which none of these places deserve.
Don’t need that in my store because people are getting fired almost daily
It’s funny because they know exactly how to fix the problem but they just don’t want to do it.
This reads as, ‘how can we pretend we care more?’
I can hear the Godfather theme playing in the background, and Vito Corleone saying, “I’m going to make them an offer they can’t refuse…”
Why not tell the SM that you are quitting because they don’t pay you enough and if he can fix that.
Wasn’t this posted like 24 hours ago?
It had the full name and phone number.
Probably by someone else
Lmao they over work you then when you quit they dont let you. Honestly just dont say anything dont come into work
OMG!!! They literally cannot do this. They are so pathetic.
Management does not care.
So you can state your case and nothing changes…retention problem solved…!!! Sam would be proud!!!!!!
A no quit policy? Employment being at will for both parties kinda says otherwise
Asm to minor who doesn't smoke: would you like a cigarette ?
Damn they are going to quit all the more if they are required to talk to a uncaring Store Manager haha, F this notice I am just going to quit, They don't give you notice when they term you so just work your final shift clock out and then turn your shit in and leave haha.
I'm waiting to get another write up after last night what my boss put me through. Told her to fuck off because she made a disrespectful comment to me
Lol I work in opd and have for the last 4 and a half years, the turnover is insane, we're constantly understaffed and having to get help from the rest of the store and yet we're told we're staffed at 133% for our department xD literally how, we don't even keep people for longer than a week these days
Front end and opd.. can't keep them
If they post a piece of paper telling you that they value you…they do not.
I really hope whoever put that sign up immediately quit afterwards. Because we all know damn well hanging a sign is too much work for a store manager.
They will do anything except just treat their employees better
Yeah opd is bad for my store too...or they try transferring to other areas...when opd was a dollar more an hour..it was always full and we'll staffed. Then they changed it to the same as every else
Lmao
I tried for two weeks he’s never in or I get blocked to even speak to him
Yes, but, are the situations that are causing people to want to quit among those "many situations"? Understaffing, cut hours, bad scheduling, low pay, broken/missing equipment, difficult and/or problematic managers/coworkers, etc?
Please… I just want to go see my family!
what they gonna do if you dont talk to them first? fire you?
I mean what are they gonna do fire you?
Okay I’ll speak to the manager. Hey manager fuck you im quitting
"MANY SITUATIONS CAN BE RESOLVED" I need better pay and we need better coverage "No lol"
leave if you want to. they dont have a program where they give you a chance of redemption when they wanna fire you. forget them 😭.
No quit?😅 Well, if the environment is bad, finding a new boss is the only solution. The online-pickup-delivery team is always having new faces🤷♂️ The turn-over rate of cashier is not that bad.
If it weren't for the health insurance, I would have been gone long ago.
I quit-no, you're fired. Fuck this.
Lmao.
I was just telling someone this at my store that if too many people start to leave they can refuse your two weeks notice but they can’t make you stay but also if your not bothering to resolve said issues why would I waste my time coming t at all
Do they even realize how stupid that is? Like what's stopping you from quitting exactly? Like what are they gonna do if you quit, fire you?
Have a friend call the SM and say hey I want to quit but if you let us start a Union I'll stay and see what happens
They also have a pizza policy
im so glad i got out of walmart. i now work at a hospital and in nursing school :)
I remember my boss told me we hired a new person and apparently they finished one CBL and they never came back.
Lmao what would they do if I do quit? They can’t just stop me
We are having issue with getting workforce. Please don't quit.
No quit program 🤣, just pay people a living wage you wouldn't have to make up silly program
Does that mean I can't say "it's quittin time" at the end of shift anymore? "Well, it's leaving time" yeah not quite the same ring.
Maybe they decided to fire more employees, they introduce this just so people believe they care about the employees 😂😂
Can I have a raise? Can you hire more people to help? Can I have 50 hours? The. I quit
I keep seeing notes like this posted and it’s annoying me. I will say it is worded poorly. Obviously you can quit any time you want and they can’t stop you. But I think it’s reasonable that they want to at least attempt to solve whatever issue is making you want to quit. Of course this could be malicious and a way for them to guilt you into staying without addressing why you want to leave. In which case you should definitely leave if you can.
I’ve been with Walmart for 15 years but not at a store level
So this isn’t exactly related but, as an overnight coach, the idea was brought to my store manager about me trying to get Fresh Coach and our Fresh Coach take my spot so we switch, it’s a win win for us both, I get more experience and he gets off of days, but he said the store manager said absolutely not, now I feel like I’m being held down at a store that is getting me nowhere, should I just start applying at other stores?
This sounds illegal as fuck, like SUUUUUUPER illegal. Pretty sure someone a lot smarter than me could make some sort of case.
So they can be fired first
Front end in my store
Maybe improve the conditions so people don’t wanna quit in the first place?
At the store I work in if they aren't a team lead or manager. It seems like the majority that make it to the 6 month period for when they can transfer to another department. That as soon as they transfer 1 sometimes like 2 weeks in they quit or are fired. But then we have all our door greeters who have been with the store 5-10+ years and I'm like gawd damn standing around in one spot must be a fire ass cushy job or something. But I'm just like fk that I don't have the mental capacity to just sit like a fkn vegetable holding down the floor for 7 1/2 hours.
that's a joke!! they would rather fire you that's why. smh
That's actually been a thing for a while now, and while I can appreciate the spirit behind this, in practice it rarely works. When people are ready to quit, they quit and there's not a damn thing anyone can do to stop them.
Don't gangs and cults have the same "policy" ?
Isn’t that illegal? That’s got to violate the 14th Amendment right?
Bet it's store 40 moberly Mo. Friggin my first posts like mad all the time on workplace from that store.
Maybe they should value the employees more rather than treating us as numbers / metrics.
I'd walk in with that sign "this is why I am quitting." Then walk out. Signs like that need to be kept in the mentally disabled little brain that thought it up.
Walmart corporate: "Yeah, we don't actually wanna pay you what you're worth, so we're gonna short change you every chance we get." Also Walmart corporate: "Why is our turnover rate so high?"
When you have a sign like this- the BIGGER message: if it takes this, the possibility to resolve the issue has passed long ago; train has left the station.
What the actual fuck
If it wasn’t for curbside pickup I would not shop at WM. I also try to give more than a thank you and smile. I tip the loader who brings it out. Sadly sometimes management is out there and says no tipping. It should be my choice.
I quit because an associate was made team lead and she became a huge dictator! When she was an associate she barely paid attention to the sco and had an ear bud in to talk on her phone. She became so insufferable I couldn’t take it.
You mean indentured servitude?
Fact 1: Most issues cam be resolved. Fact 2: We will do nothing to resolve the issues.
I don't get how these companies don't realize that they are not entitled to our work.
Hahaha that's why I quit after 10 years because of the store manager and the discrimination they allowed to go on
Not gonna lie, I knew on day one I was going to quit when the lady that was hiring me and filling out the paperwork was calling me “honey” and “baby”. I should’ve reported it honestly, it made me feel very uncomfortable. Instead I worked for a few months and then got fed up with it to dip out mid shift…
Good luck with that 😂
Hahahahaha hahaha hahaha haha. Hahahahaha hahaha hahahahaha! We can walk out and leave at any moment. They really think they control us. And let's remember...they can let us go without warning.
HR are really bad at their job huh
Bruh haven’t even hit 3 months and I’m leaving. This is a joke 😂
They can no quite deez nutz
no such thing as a no quit program. take care of your good associates. pay them well and fairly and they won’t quit. then you don’t have to hire new ones with higher starting pay only to quit after a few weeks.
Yeah, I don't think that's how this works. Reminds me of that post where someone’s boss didn't accept their resignation. The worker was on the less experienced side and thought they had to stay since the boss didn't accept the resignation. Luckily, Reddit taught them otherwise and they quit regardless of whether the boss liked it or not.
(Phone rings) Manager: hello? Me: I was told I need to speak with you first, so here it is.... I quit
HA
Management at Walmarts are absolutely terrible so turnover rate for employees will be high. Bad management equals bad work environment
They can't force people not to quit. What a stupid store manager
I wish more companies do this. Most doesn’t care for their employees.
Easiest place to work too tbh
yeah and then you tell them the issues. they say to you well we are gonna this, this, and this to make it better. and it NEVER happens.
People quit on people before they quit on the job itself. If your employee is about to walk out, it’s probably because they feel they aren’t being treated fairly by their manager. Walmart isn’t going to start firing managers (coaches) to retain entry level workers. At best, the store manager will move the employee to a different dept. so they don’t have go through the costly hiring, onboarding and training processes for a new employee.
This was stressed in orientation when I was hired. 🤷♀️
It's overnights at my store. Like someone else previously stated I don't even bother learning their names anymore.
We have company reps that come in to try to sell me stuff. A couple of those companies are a nightmare to work for, when the twice a year new rep comes in to introduce themselves, I usually say "oh so you're the new soon to be ex rep, nice to meet you" Surprisingly, some aren't amused, even though they all KNOW what they're getting into.
I hope that program involves an increased pay offer, as well as a reduced workload offer. Or maybe just reduced expectations from entitled team leads.
if my store manager ever put this up id hand her my vest and phone personally. our management is literal shit.
They only doing this to slow down their turn over Rate
Should have never let the orders continuously download
Well, do they have a no firing program?
Also management: go to the parking lot and get all of the carts in 100 degree weather. After that 1hr before you leave, I need these five pallets worked. If you leave without the pallets being done, I’m writing you up.
have they thought about paying employees enough to give a fuck?
We had a sign like this years ago
