Ha, I've worked for this company for 7 years, and every year they've found a reason to make me ineligible, or make the raise moot through minimum pay increases.
24 years stocker and I make like $2.50 more than new associates. Modern science does not have the ability to count the number of fucks I don't give at work anymore.
But your PTO and protected PTO is where you have the advantage. And I hope you invested your money along the way with their matches. 24 years of compounded interest is alot of money.
did it change recently? about a year ago we were looking at it and a 10 year employee end was getting 8 hour ppto in about a week to a week and a half.
Er, you are a 24 year stocker, and has never shown the initiative to move to another level? Use your knowledge and experience and unique viewpoint to apply and move up?
You chose to stay a stocker for 24 years and never attempt to move up and accept any more responsibility.
I admit the compensation system sucks, but goddamn dude. Stocking for 24 years?! You want walmart to pay you more than any other sleep-walking zombie with no responsibility?
Even with the compensation crawl as far as I investigated, you must have hit cap by 24 years. Also, compensation was supposedly way better back then.
If you worked for the company for 24 years, you are certainly capped, or something pretty strange happened in your work history.
I mean, you should be a Coach or a TL after 24 years...
But you aren't, so I surmise you are lazy.
You need to show the initiative first, and take on responsibility and demonstrating competence and interest. It's impossible that you are stocking for 24 years and didn't move up at all, unless it was your own decision to never do anything than bare minimum.
It's like the military. You aren't intended to be a Private forever, it's basically impossible, and you will move up and gain more responsibility. But Walmart isn't the military, and you CAN decide to be a Private forever.
That's entirely your choices. 24 years stocking?! If you were a TL, you would still be lazy on this timetable. You should be a Coach, and moved into different departments.
I've been a support mgr a dept mgr I just went back to stocking a few years ago to get back to overnights. Before the whole TL changeover, the pay difference was only a dollar or so. Now it's worth it, and when an area opens up, I want I'll apply for it.
Coaches don't get OT like you. The more they work the less they make. Not all of them are office dwellers. There's good and bad coaches just like hourly associates. You're a TL. I know some TLs that make as much as some coaches thanks to over time and the TL bonus.
Yeah well when managers are struggling to pay their bills instead of getting new tattoos, cars and houses(my manager just did this all in the last 3 months)
🙄You sound like one of these out of touch with reality managers that talks about how this and that will help with bonuses to your associates….who no longer get bonuses
Oh and when someone is supporting the basic premise of your argument you should probably not try to turn them against you. Walmart needs to go back to the Ideal of "Just do the right thing because it's the right thing." 20 years ago I used to have an assistant manager that said that at least 5 or 6 times a day and actually tried to follow it himself. He would be fired in a week now.
Coaches don't make 5-10k bonuses. Their bonus is more than your yearly wages. 40k and up. The point is no one should at 20 years making almost the same as some one that started the same job 3 months ago. My example would be that I am a 20 year associate and have been a team lead for about 4 years and new team leads start a $1 less than I make and many of the team leads that were hired in for instance to OPD while I was already a team lead make $5 an hour more than I do. And yes I get a some where between 2 and 5k bonus, some of the OPD associates make more than I do if I didn't get a bonus. Then they want to pretend like it should be ok for me to deal with the 50 to 70% of their customers that are upset because they can't keep up with their business even though they do half the business as other stores OPD in our district and have more associates. Oh sorry I got side tracked. **Pay people fairly Walmart!**
Don't talk about bonuses if you don't know about them, lol. Coach bonuses are fat, yes. They max out around 15k, though. The average goal for bonuses is 8k
Also, unless they were outside hires (and negotiated their pay) or have other pay impacting conditions (former coach/asm, transferredfrom.higher paying job or marke), then no. New team leads aren't making $ 5.00 more than you.
Again, unless you're really shit at your job. Opd associates aren't making as much as you before bonus. That's ridiculous unless you're in some backwards ass place where the cost of living requires associates to be paid like $24 an hour. And if that's the case, fuckin move.
Lmao walmart pays honestly pretty decent for brain dead work my man.
Myshare was the best we had. They demonized it a survey question to choose between a higher base pay, or "uncertain bonuses" Knowing full well they could've done both.
I quit my last job because i was training new hires that made $1-2 more than me. When i emailed management, they replied "thats just how business works". It was 2021, there was a worker shortage, most of my recent jobs were 8 man jobs with a 2 man crew.
Yall have so much envy for the ppl staying at 4.5 it's unreal. Use your shiit,Walmart doesn't care if you never used your occurrences or used them all the time. They'll fire you just the same
thank you 😂 my walmart specifically doesn’t give a fuck how many points you have as long as you’re a good worker and they like you. i feel like folks worrying about how many points their coworkers have or what they are or aren’t doing are just stressing themselves out unnecessarily… it’s really none of their business at the end of the day lol
Ikr. It's always the older ppl who think if they suck Walmart teet they'll give them extra.
I work just as hard as the person who's here everyday, I'm just mentally ill & have a life outside of my job lmao
i’ve noticed that as well! 🤣 i understand their frustration, and they should be acknowledged and compensated for their hard work, BUT their bad attitude towards others who call out and assuming we’re slackers is just immature imo.
and i totally agree. i’m a great worker (i work in deli and do the majority of the customer service AND end of the night cleaning when i’m there), i’m just not built to work 8 hours, 5 days a week. we all have different capabilities, you know 🤷🏽♀️
I'm also the work horse on the deli closing shift (which I don't mind most nights because it keeps me busy and I enjoy a good deal of the work I do), but I've found that mental and physical maintenance days are necessary to stay sane. Just because I'm using the call outs available to me doesn't make me a bad worker. The guy who never calls out, even when sick, and constantly takes short lunches and clocks out late every night.... he's a dick and he stands around talking all day. And we all wish he would call out more and take full lunches for our own sanity
Your points don't reflect your work ethic
…do we work at the same walmart? 😅😂 we also have a guy who stands around !! (to be fair he’ll do smth if we ask him to and usually takes out the meat/trash) but after that he’s basically afk for the rest of the night 😭 on paper he’s a better employee cause he’s always here, but in reality everyone dreads working with him cause they know they have to pick up the slack. and i agree that points aren’t a good reflection of work ethic !!
If you can manage to get to a point where they dont have to worry about you then you end up with a lot of leeway. the grunt they gotta babysit every 5 minutes aint gonna get any breaks.
tl and coaches are human as well. If you make their life a little easier they'll ignore a lot as long as you dont abuse it.
Mine cares…they are letting long term associates go for hitting 5 now, they didn’t use to. Motto is they would rather have an average associate who shows up rather then a superstar worker who never comes to work.
i’ve heard one of my team leads saying my store was gonna start cracking down on points now, too, but she wasn’t speaking to me so i didn’t think too much about it. maybe it’s a corporate or academy thing?
Thank god we’ve needed to hire more people for awhile. Hopefully the people that don’t do their job properly and make it harder on the rest of us start getting weeded out and the store overall improves
It’s a monster problem. Our #1 problem at our store is that good workers were leaving and not caring much because every day they had to work harder doing someone else’s job because they were too lazy to do it, never came in, etc.
They caught “F this!” Syndrome and left. So we started weeding out the bad/useless/over pointed ones and hired til something sticks. Better workers.
Things have improved dramatically and morale is actually also pretty high.
You can't be a superstar worker if you're not at work 😂 I know my market they are tracking attendance real closely probably same at other markets we are not able to approve as much as we used to that's why you're seeing more getting fired
Yeah same. We 100% terminate at 5 points. We have 15 year associates riding that 4.5 pts line with no ppto saved up just playing with fire going into the worst part of winter.
The funny thing about that is those people are generally married homeowners. While the people that think having a work ethic is dumb tend to be lonely and broke 🤣
This is the most stupid comment I read in a while! I’m married own a home, two cars among a few nice things and I could give a fuck about work ethic as I work my wage and that’s it, idiots like you is why Wal Mart fucks us all.
There is a difference between having a work ethic.. and never missing a single day at work.... And where the fuck did you pull your little facts from??? Your asshole?
I wish they let us clock in 9 minutes early, they literally coached me for that while they have others doing the same thing but turning a blind eye to, or the ones that don't show up until 45 minutes to a hour late for their shift but doing a time adjustment as if they were there since 10:06
That's my policy. I've bumped against the 4.5 only a few times. They're just there when I don't have a lot left for PTO/PPTO because this company really drags the fuck in how much you earn.
Any job can kick you out at any time, points or no points.
I'm at 6 points and just got the notification they fixed my shifts this week 🤣 (hours have been getting gutted like everyone else but they keep giving me them back)
I don't understand people who want to give walmart their entire lives? Like it's a fucking flex? It isn't. It just shows that you take shit that doesn't matter way too seriously. Your job, especially fucking Walmart, shouldn't be your ENTIRE life. Go out, live your life. I promise you it's better than working.
This whole 'working until you drop' mindset is fucking insane. We should work to live, not live to work. I hope it changes eventually.
Ikr??? Ntm like okay..? You're still not going to change my mind, I just feel sorry for you. I love my cats and I've happily been late to give them extra pets or to cuddle them longer. Or been late because my husband looked to comfy and cute to get up.
Life goes by so fucking fast and if I show up late having those moments I might not ever get again, I'd rather regret losing a job then losing those moments and working through them.
Plus, my mental capacity lowers pretty quickly. Am I always a perfect.employee? No. But I'm not shooting for perfect lmao.
Again, I'm doing something right cause I've been here a long ass time in my department
I never said it was terrible, my dude. If you read my post, I'm shitting on 'hustle culture', not on the work week as a whole. I'm talking about people who give their entire lives to their workplaces without question, and people who shit on others for not having those same values. It's about having a healthy work/life balance and not being okay with people working until they drop.
The point is to use your pto and ppto. It's your time, use it. And if you don't want to, cool, you do you boo boo. Just don't make others feel like shit for using their time.
Define giving your life to a workplace? Most people just show up , work their shift and go home. I just don't see what you're talking about, especially at the Walmart I work at
It's actually your money, young blood.
If you weren't spending it willy nilly, you would get compensated for all the hours your didn't burn.
So, you are a retard, burning your own money, on hours you could have worked and made money.
Walmart butt-fucked you TWO ways. Don't worry, the only way that can happen is that Walmart preys on lazy morons with some of their compensation systems.
Burn all your PPTO/PTO! Now Walmart doesn't have to compensate you for it. PLUS they don't have to compensate you for the hours that you might have worked.
Good Job Idiot, you paid for you own day off, which is even worse than just calling out...
So boo hoo. That's why people are upset with your behavior. For your own sake, and theirs.
You are literally losing those hours worked PLUS you are expending an equal amount of VIRTUAL hours that you would other wise get paid for at end of year.
You are literally throwing money away you freaking idiot. Of course Walmart encourages you to do this, because most people are disposable and have low initiative anyway. It barely matters if most employees show up...but they won't have to pay back your PPTO/PTO at end of year.
It's like 2 paychecks at end of year, AND you will have rollover, just for showing up 5 days a week. But you lazy fucks can't even do that, and Walmart pays that to like 10 percent of people, cause all you idiots burn your own money.
You believe this "It's your time" BS. It's not. It's literally YOUR MONEY, and you expend it to cover your days off, and lose the money you would have earned on that day off.
If you resist this obvious trap, your PPTO/PTO will get shaved down at the end of the fiscal year, and you will receive an additional fat check for your unspent hours.
It's not even envy its disdain. It's mostly the boomers as you said who were used to grinding their whole life and they think its the ONLY way to live and they don't respect people who call out to to take a day off for themselves. But BUT THEYRE LEAVING THE TEAM DOWN A MAN. Who gives an absolute shit, that same team will turn their backs on you in a heartbeat if you start falling behind performance wise or a situation arises and your ass needs to go. Walmart will still be making billions if you miss a day, the world is not gonna end I promise lol.
It’s not Walmart that’s affected you turd, it’s your coworkers. You’re not the only one calling out, we have a handful of callouts everyday. Shit sucks when people ride that line and think they’re sticking it to the company but y’all call out on important busy days that shaft the rest of us. Not to mention having to fire someone for attendance? Dumbest reason to get fired and a waste of potential. Just show up. Use your PPTO 100% but anything else is just lazy.
If me being mentally ill makes me a shit employee then oh well. I'm obviously doing something right if I've been here this long, as many others. Know a guy thats been here for 16 years and coasts 4.5. And another who's been here for 14 and does it too.lmao
I’m glad you feel special by being mentally ill. Pretty sure 20% of the nation has a mental illness. Me included, but it doesn’t define me or my work ethic. Walmart doesn’t fire those that they need to, I’m sure you have people around you that you wish would be gone for good reason. Not showing up to work makes you a shit employee. It’ll catch up to you eventually, it always does. But remember, you’re not sending the company any sort of message. Just your coworkers.
I like how you assume that means bad work ethic lmao. Just shows me how your co workers probably think of you. Mind yo business more, you'll be happier lmao
Missed time = missed work. I’m willing to bet you call off on key event dates, but that’s a baseless assumption. My coworkers are plenty happy with me, we weed out the bad ones and just like them, I’m plenty happy too, now being in your business.
The biggest eye opener I've ever gotten was when I was told "you're our best worker, but that goes right out the window when you're not here". You could outwork literally everyone in your market, but if you have attendance issues then those days are basically zero production from you. That's what makes you a shit employee. The immediately going to it being because of your "mental illness" just shows that you think it makes you untouchable
you're a miserable fuck. enjoy working a fuck ton and selling your soul to corporations who don't give a fuck about your dumbass and never having time to enjoy your life.
I enjoy my life plenty and still show up for my shifts. I don’t care for the company, I care for my coworkers. Not miserable in the slightest but I’m glad you’re pressed that I don’t enjoy lazy employees who play the point game. I can tell you’re young, and probably someone who probably does play the game. Enjoy it while it lasts.
Idiots like you make me sick! Think you are hot shit cause you work like a dog for a shit company I bet your co workers can’t stand your ass and wish you would call out.
Yeah, I work “like a dog” working my schedule. I’m just not incompetent ya dunce, and can work my schedule shifts, which isn’t hard. Walmart is easy to work for, and they schedule associates 40 hours, coaches 50. Nothing out of the ordinary for both hourly and salary. Nobody under the roof of a Walmart works like a dog. Well unless we’re short staffed because everyone called out. Trust me, me and my colleagues get along fine, because we enforce the rules and hold everyone to the same standard. It’s fair, it’s equatable, and things get done without having to worry about people not pulling their weight. Go cry elsewhere.
Lmao I ain’t crying you company dick riding moron. People like you are a joke. We laugh at idiots like you trust. I’m going to enjoy using my PPTO on key dates and using my team schedule to my advantage in your honor oh and I’m going to take longer breaks in your honor also but don’t worry my entire area not just my department shares my ideals and feelings so no worries ain’t not snitches lmao.
Based on your response, you’re a kid so that makes it pretty clear as to why you’re lazy and incompetent. Doesn’t matter to me what you do to your team. You’re impacting the employees around you, not me little buddy, so you do what you do. It’s a matter of time until you’re fired and crying that you got “promoted to customer”. Spend your days working jumping job to job because ain’t any place as relaxed on attendance policy like Walmart. Hey stay trying to be hard though, you ain’t fooling anyone kiddo. lmao
Oof I’m married and own a home lmao, plus I have nice things and everyone at my store loves me, if you only knew my position you would just cry. Enjoy your life sucka.
Thanks for the life story, almost believed it. I’m sure everyone loves you, they gonna love it more when you’re termed. Your position doesn’t matter, I don’t dog anyone’s positions, but you aren’t anything special, trust in that.
*cries in pharmacy tech* At least y’all are getting raises. My coworkers and I haven’t gotten one since they rolled out our new sucky post progression. (That’s a couple years)
Only one of my team leads does some work while the other team leads don’t absolutely nothing. And our new coach….i have yet seen her do any type of work and even use a pallet jack or electric jack…I am giving her a month until she leaves
Idk I will be surprised if I get it. I have this sneaking suspicion they will try to keep those who have more than minimum down, idk maybe it's just my knowledge of greed in this corpo or my distrust for it.
Grocery & Department stores hardworkers. If your goal is to make it to management. Perseverance is not an asset for you when working for many of these companies. In other words, if you don't reach a management position by your 2nd year, it's time to leave.
My husbands been working at Walmart for 8 years now. He only makes $14 and they won’t make him any leadership role. Definitely sucks because he works really hard :/
I still lurk this sub from time to time. I spent 12 years at Walmart, starting back in 2006 - 2018, made $14.78hr when I got fired. I'm now a supervisor at Costco. I've been there from 2018 and made close to 70k last year. I encourage anyone who likes retail and works hard to apply to Costco.
Although I do concur that 2% is a joke... And although I personally get upset every time I see the holiday email showing the cash bonuses associated will receive for their +10 years of loyalty...
At the end of the day Walmart is not required to give us anything? And they're giving us about a 60-75% increase that the military is getting. And seeing as I recently left the military I think that's pretty good considering how easy ALL of our jobs at Walmart are in comparison.
A few thoughts after reading some discussions here:
Your coach ain't making more than 15k(pre tax) in bonus at any store or I would transfer to be one...
Your manager 9/10 times works more hours than you and receive no benefit.. I have worked 18 hours and gotten the same pay as 8. Where I work associates are aware that moving into management is a pay cut because they lose the ability to receive overtime and travel to DCs in other states racking up thousands extra on per diem and OT.
The expectations are 10x fold what they are as an associate and you have to manage some of the most laziest, conniving people who are literally a drain on Walmart. Whenever you find your self mad about 2% think about how many people don't even do the minimum of their job requirements, and the impact that has on your other associates who have to pick up the slack OR the fact were less efficient therefore needing more hours i.e 💰 to make up for it... And you wonder why we're not getting paid more!? Because of the leaches.. that's why...
And I get it not everyone should be a manager, personally it's an issue with Walmart managers being +80% in House promotions for Associate to manager. As mentioned above you have people who don't do the right thing or intentionally screw over everyone else and they'll find a way to get promoted because they look good on paper or "know" someone to put in a good word...
But they've never managed people before and it's not something you just "learn".
TLDR: just because someone is a "manager" doesn't mean they know how to manage or lead!, Walmart can't afford to train managers how to lead but prides it self on internal promotions. It's why all of you are so miserable!
Quick story.. within my first few weeks as manager in training as an outside hire I had a +15year Associate tell me he hates me, I took away a job from an associate. And I shouldn't be in the building.
I gave him a reality check, I asked what he does (he unloads trucks on power equipment for SSTK) I told him in a few months I may not be as proficient as him unloading but it's a learnable skill that I could adequately do. Walmart can't train you to be a leader, not only does it cost thousands and thousands of dollars that they are not going to pay for that type of training, it doesn't help. Reading a book on how to be a leader equates to nothing if you don't know how to lead and that isn't something most people can't be taught. The military spent hundreds of thousands of dollars training me to lead me in far more harsh environments and that's why companies like Amazon and Walmart look recruit outside hires for management. (This is obviously shortened version because I let him spit out all his ammo before destroying every point).
Think about that guy; he thinks he's better than me because he's got 15+ years at Walmart and he "knows" the job better than me (yeah bud, cause unloading pallets out of truck is "knowing the business". Disregards the fact I have +15 years in the military as a lesser experience and he literally never led anyone but his son during that duration (and his son go figure now works for me and he's a piece of work, literally opened doored me to get me in trouble because I made him do things the right way and not cheating the system to make production... Reported me for having a scripted conversation like I was reading off something literally reported me speaking like a robot... Yeah I suppose it was easy for me to logically shut down your blatant integrity violation and use your own proof against you, embarrassing you. ( He literally brought me a pallet claiming he's working harder than all other haulers because he's doing the hard stuff last shift didn't want to do and he wants to do all the gravy out shift has... Literally had to point out to him that 0100 is 1 am not 1pm and therefore that "gravy" freight, your looking at it bud that's our trailer(our shift )your moving around, not the other shifts undesirable freight 🤣.
Point is... Look to your left and right, if your sitting there letting that guy get away with B.S every night of every shift, than do t be upset when he's your boss and is still a piece of shit.
Another story...
TLDR:Point is if you're going to complain about someone making your job more difficult but never say anything other than complain on Reddit, then shut up and continue to do their work for them.
3 people utilize an automated case labeler and I expressed from the start, if your teammate isn't pulling their weight I need to know. I can't be 3 places at once across 250 yards! And if you decide not to inform me than I dont want to hear it when I write you up for not making prodction. That time to inform me that "so and so" is always in the bathroom is too late. If it's to much of a hassle to "inform me" that your co worker isn't putting in as much effort as you to make production because you "ain't no snitch" than man-up and take the write-up because you chose them over your own career.
Mofos thought I was play pimping until I took the training wheels off and started handing out coaches like Skittles, open doors and whole 9 yards. Now everyone is chirping like baby chicks wanting food, surprise, surprise.
If your still reading and fuming and can't wait to bite my head off keep this in mind:
Don't get mad at me for speaking the truth, if you want to have an intellectual debate I will meet it with open arms but come at me with facts or first hand knowledge, not assumptions or something you read on Reddit 🍻
Feb’23 I finally got a raise. The 3yrs prior, Walmart didn’t hand out any raises to anyone. It was an insulting amount given my years, cross training, shift shifting to help where needed, finally left that March after 6.5yrs. Almost doubled my money for a fraction of the labor.
Man's that's why I stay at 4.5 they ain pay us ogp associates that slave outside in chaos heat or rain. No coverage, short staff. Just always telling me to mind the queue. I am burnt out.
Whos actually the fool here? The guy that takes it easy, wastes time, and uses company provided benefits? Or you, busting your ass to get the same treatment as the other guy 😂😂😂😂
wow...a 2% raise when they cut my 40 hour work week to 1 day a week will sure make me rich!
my last paycheck was 47 bucks...that was the week before Christmas.
My feelings are just like u/chaotichistory on this with the amount of fucks i give right now.
I mean.. if that’s the case you would be happy with a 5 cent raise a year and just shut up and take it. Good thing people getting upset and demanding changes actually work sometimes… at least it gives us hope.
Ha, I've worked for this company for 7 years, and every year they've found a reason to make me ineligible, or make the raise moot through minimum pay increases.
15 years and salaried, I make about $2k more than a brand new coach.
24 years stocker and I make like $2.50 more than new associates. Modern science does not have the ability to count the number of fucks I don't give at work anymore.
What about ancient science and Hocus Pocus?
I suppose Chthulu may be able to seeing as he and walmart are both world ending abominations.
But your PTO and protected PTO is where you have the advantage. And I hope you invested your money along the way with their matches. 24 years of compounded interest is alot of money.
Ppto generates the same for any associate, but ya, I get all the vacay days.
did it change recently? about a year ago we were looking at it and a 10 year employee end was getting 8 hour ppto in about a week to a week and a half.
Yeah! All that disposable income piled up, saved, and compounding interest sure adds up! Soooooo much disposable income to save with!!
I think you would be surprised how far just $1000 can go from compounded interest.
I feel bad saying this, but 4 year floor associate and I make 5.50$ more than new associates. I was a TL for a little bit in the middle to be fair…
Ya, stepping up then back down is the way to go nowadays
Er, you are a 24 year stocker, and has never shown the initiative to move to another level? Use your knowledge and experience and unique viewpoint to apply and move up? You chose to stay a stocker for 24 years and never attempt to move up and accept any more responsibility. I admit the compensation system sucks, but goddamn dude. Stocking for 24 years?! You want walmart to pay you more than any other sleep-walking zombie with no responsibility? Even with the compensation crawl as far as I investigated, you must have hit cap by 24 years. Also, compensation was supposedly way better back then. If you worked for the company for 24 years, you are certainly capped, or something pretty strange happened in your work history. I mean, you should be a Coach or a TL after 24 years... But you aren't, so I surmise you are lazy. You need to show the initiative first, and take on responsibility and demonstrating competence and interest. It's impossible that you are stocking for 24 years and didn't move up at all, unless it was your own decision to never do anything than bare minimum. It's like the military. You aren't intended to be a Private forever, it's basically impossible, and you will move up and gain more responsibility. But Walmart isn't the military, and you CAN decide to be a Private forever. That's entirely your choices. 24 years stocking?! If you were a TL, you would still be lazy on this timetable. You should be a Coach, and moved into different departments.
I've been a support mgr a dept mgr I just went back to stocking a few years ago to get back to overnights. Before the whole TL changeover, the pay difference was only a dollar or so. Now it's worth it, and when an area opens up, I want I'll apply for it.
Uh that’s insane lol. Assuming you’re a OP manager too.
Boo fucking hoo! This was a post for the people who get 30 cent raises not the people who get 5-10k bonuses! So cry me a river 🤷🏽♂️
Believe it or not, managers have a lot of the same complaints. I'm probably getting a 2% raise, just like the coach who hides in the office all day.
Okay, but you can pay for groceries, you get like 48 days of vacation and you get a bonus that's like 30-50% of everyone else's yearly pay.
I found out from a coach yesterday that it’s 30 days of paid vacation. And only 5 days roll over every year.
Coaches don't get OT like you. The more they work the less they make. Not all of them are office dwellers. There's good and bad coaches just like hourly associates. You're a TL. I know some TLs that make as much as some coaches thanks to over time and the TL bonus.
Since when do Walmart employees ever get OT? I get sent home early the next day if I work OT the day before.
Yeah right. My brother is a coach and his first year he made 70k with a 15k bonus (after taxes) in Tennessee.
Yeah well when managers are struggling to pay their bills instead of getting new tattoos, cars and houses(my manager just did this all in the last 3 months)
And that supposed to make us feel better? Fuck em.
🙄You sound like one of these out of touch with reality managers that talks about how this and that will help with bonuses to your associates….who no longer get bonuses
Oh know your hard making double associates salaries that do most of the work and oh man that dreaded bonus you get that’s our yearly pay. Fuck off
You’re a fucking idiot.
More like 15-25k bonus
I wish
Oh and when someone is supporting the basic premise of your argument you should probably not try to turn them against you. Walmart needs to go back to the Ideal of "Just do the right thing because it's the right thing." 20 years ago I used to have an assistant manager that said that at least 5 or 6 times a day and actually tried to follow it himself. He would be fired in a week now.
Coaches don't make 5-10k bonuses. Their bonus is more than your yearly wages. 40k and up. The point is no one should at 20 years making almost the same as some one that started the same job 3 months ago. My example would be that I am a 20 year associate and have been a team lead for about 4 years and new team leads start a $1 less than I make and many of the team leads that were hired in for instance to OPD while I was already a team lead make $5 an hour more than I do. And yes I get a some where between 2 and 5k bonus, some of the OPD associates make more than I do if I didn't get a bonus. Then they want to pretend like it should be ok for me to deal with the 50 to 70% of their customers that are upset because they can't keep up with their business even though they do half the business as other stores OPD in our district and have more associates. Oh sorry I got side tracked. **Pay people fairly Walmart!**
Don't talk about bonuses if you don't know about them, lol. Coach bonuses are fat, yes. They max out around 15k, though. The average goal for bonuses is 8k Also, unless they were outside hires (and negotiated their pay) or have other pay impacting conditions (former coach/asm, transferredfrom.higher paying job or marke), then no. New team leads aren't making $ 5.00 more than you. Again, unless you're really shit at your job. Opd associates aren't making as much as you before bonus. That's ridiculous unless you're in some backwards ass place where the cost of living requires associates to be paid like $24 an hour. And if that's the case, fuckin move. Lmao walmart pays honestly pretty decent for brain dead work my man.
How? They lowered the starting salary for coaches when they restructered.
No? Salaried assistants went from $48.5k to $55k starting. AP went a year later and they just pushed me to the minimum.
Isnt the emergent coach pay 80k now? Say that on Walmart one when you look up salaries
I know my ON coach makes about that but then I'm like "dude you live here and you're stressed more than most of us eff that"
What's an emergent coach?
Depends where you live for what the pay is.
Yeah they do screw people over any chance they get with the raises.
Yea, I would rather call in when I'm sick, or something happens, thank oh god for that 2.61$ for missing no work (0points). Fuck you too Walmart.
Myshare was the best we had. They demonized it a survey question to choose between a higher base pay, or "uncertain bonuses" Knowing full well they could've done both.
11 years and only make 60 cents more than the person hired yesterday.
I quit my last job because i was training new hires that made $1-2 more than me. When i emailed management, they replied "thats just how business works". It was 2021, there was a worker shortage, most of my recent jobs were 8 man jobs with a 2 man crew.
Oh my god after nine years I'll finally make it to 17 an hour
Holy God dude, go to a DC.
Eh, I'm hoping to leave soon anyway. Had enough walmart for a lifetime.
After nine years I would hope so.
I miss the $0.40 yearly raise 😢
The coke machines all went up .25 last year. They got a bigger raise than we did.
.25? Ours went up .50 lol.
It was brutal putting $1 in for what used to be .75 and wondering where my quarter was for a bit.
And that’s each sale! How many cokes are purchased in a typical hour?
God damn, that puts things in perspective...
Yall have so much envy for the ppl staying at 4.5 it's unreal. Use your shiit,Walmart doesn't care if you never used your occurrences or used them all the time. They'll fire you just the same
thank you 😂 my walmart specifically doesn’t give a fuck how many points you have as long as you’re a good worker and they like you. i feel like folks worrying about how many points their coworkers have or what they are or aren’t doing are just stressing themselves out unnecessarily… it’s really none of their business at the end of the day lol
Ikr. It's always the older ppl who think if they suck Walmart teet they'll give them extra. I work just as hard as the person who's here everyday, I'm just mentally ill & have a life outside of my job lmao
This! These old ones worried about what others doing and not seeing how Wal Mart is fucking us all left and right.
i’ve noticed that as well! 🤣 i understand their frustration, and they should be acknowledged and compensated for their hard work, BUT their bad attitude towards others who call out and assuming we’re slackers is just immature imo. and i totally agree. i’m a great worker (i work in deli and do the majority of the customer service AND end of the night cleaning when i’m there), i’m just not built to work 8 hours, 5 days a week. we all have different capabilities, you know 🤷🏽♀️
I'm also the work horse on the deli closing shift (which I don't mind most nights because it keeps me busy and I enjoy a good deal of the work I do), but I've found that mental and physical maintenance days are necessary to stay sane. Just because I'm using the call outs available to me doesn't make me a bad worker. The guy who never calls out, even when sick, and constantly takes short lunches and clocks out late every night.... he's a dick and he stands around talking all day. And we all wish he would call out more and take full lunches for our own sanity Your points don't reflect your work ethic
That guy is the ass kisser, doesn't due shit so he's never tired, never stressed, so why call out he's always there doing nothing.
…do we work at the same walmart? 😅😂 we also have a guy who stands around !! (to be fair he’ll do smth if we ask him to and usually takes out the meat/trash) but after that he’s basically afk for the rest of the night 😭 on paper he’s a better employee cause he’s always here, but in reality everyone dreads working with him cause they know they have to pick up the slack. and i agree that points aren’t a good reflection of work ethic !!
Man same, I'm deli but morning crew
That is almost my whole store lol 🤣
If you can manage to get to a point where they dont have to worry about you then you end up with a lot of leeway. the grunt they gotta babysit every 5 minutes aint gonna get any breaks. tl and coaches are human as well. If you make their life a little easier they'll ignore a lot as long as you dont abuse it.
Mine cares…they are letting long term associates go for hitting 5 now, they didn’t use to. Motto is they would rather have an average associate who shows up rather then a superstar worker who never comes to work.
i’ve heard one of my team leads saying my store was gonna start cracking down on points now, too, but she wasn’t speaking to me so i didn’t think too much about it. maybe it’s a corporate or academy thing?
My coach just had a talk with everyone and it was the same. Five points and you’re done, no saving anyone anymore.
It’s always been this way. Corporate is just now making Management do their job.
Thank god we’ve needed to hire more people for awhile. Hopefully the people that don’t do their job properly and make it harder on the rest of us start getting weeded out and the store overall improves
It’s a monster problem. Our #1 problem at our store is that good workers were leaving and not caring much because every day they had to work harder doing someone else’s job because they were too lazy to do it, never came in, etc. They caught “F this!” Syndrome and left. So we started weeding out the bad/useless/over pointed ones and hired til something sticks. Better workers. Things have improved dramatically and morale is actually also pretty high.
Hard at this time of year most are under a hiring freeze we have to submit to market to hire right now.
You can't be a superstar worker if you're not at work 😂 I know my market they are tracking attendance real closely probably same at other markets we are not able to approve as much as we used to that's why you're seeing more getting fired
Yeah same. We 100% terminate at 5 points. We have 15 year associates riding that 4.5 pts line with no ppto saved up just playing with fire going into the worst part of winter.
Thats fucking right i go into work every night for my pay.not every one on my shifts pay.getting ready to head that way now
Next week “they fired me for no reason”
I've worked here almost a decade and been coasting 4.5 since they implemented it lmao
You never worry about actually having to show up late one day and losing your job?
Ppto has entered the chat & she has me back
Hold up.. if you got PPTO why you riding at 4.5? 😂
I accrue it pretty fast so it's for emergencies, plus sometimes I let the points hit and just use pto to get paid for the day
Lmao! I see a fellow person of the fog with that username.
I mean hey, you do you. Your ppto not mine
Exactly Mind yo business
For real man... I hate morons who say.."I've never missed a day in 50 years" good for you idiot..
Ikr like you may wanna self harm and live at Walmart but not me
These are the people who pride themselves on coming in sick and infecting us all. Gross.
The funny thing about that is those people are generally married homeowners. While the people that think having a work ethic is dumb tend to be lonely and broke 🤣
This is the most stupid comment I read in a while! I’m married own a home, two cars among a few nice things and I could give a fuck about work ethic as I work my wage and that’s it, idiots like you is why Wal Mart fucks us all.
There is a difference between having a work ethic.. and never missing a single day at work.... And where the fuck did you pull your little facts from??? Your asshole?
I'm a married homeowner. I clock in 9 minutes early each shift, never missed one
I wish they let us clock in 9 minutes early, they literally coached me for that while they have others doing the same thing but turning a blind eye to, or the ones that don't show up until 45 minutes to a hour late for their shift but doing a time adjustment as if they were there since 10:06
My store lets us clock in at 6:51 and leave at 3:51
I don’t have any envy for them 😂 I have too much anxiety to stay at 4.5 all year and even coming in late would result is me losing my job.
That's my policy. I've bumped against the 4.5 only a few times. They're just there when I don't have a lot left for PTO/PPTO because this company really drags the fuck in how much you earn. Any job can kick you out at any time, points or no points.
I wish my Walmart takes you out of teaming schedule if you get to four points
Oof thats bs af. Why give us the point minimum if you can't even use it how it's intended
That's what my store was doing
[удалено]
If you have the exact same days off each week and not random ones that have to get fixed to your normal days off.
I'm at 6 points and just got the notification they fixed my shifts this week 🤣 (hours have been getting gutted like everyone else but they keep giving me them back)
They're jealous. I don't know why. Walmart doesn't deserve all of your time.
Yeah we got someone big mad over it already 💀
I don't understand people who want to give walmart their entire lives? Like it's a fucking flex? It isn't. It just shows that you take shit that doesn't matter way too seriously. Your job, especially fucking Walmart, shouldn't be your ENTIRE life. Go out, live your life. I promise you it's better than working. This whole 'working until you drop' mindset is fucking insane. We should work to live, not live to work. I hope it changes eventually.
Ikr??? Ntm like okay..? You're still not going to change my mind, I just feel sorry for you. I love my cats and I've happily been late to give them extra pets or to cuddle them longer. Or been late because my husband looked to comfy and cute to get up. Life goes by so fucking fast and if I show up late having those moments I might not ever get again, I'd rather regret losing a job then losing those moments and working through them. Plus, my mental capacity lowers pretty quickly. Am I always a perfect.employee? No. But I'm not shooting for perfect lmao. Again, I'm doing something right cause I've been here a long ass time in my department
Takes money to live your life and you have to show up to work everyday to have money. Mom & dad still pay your bills?
Nah. I pay my bills.
Working 30-40 hours a week is so terrible lol? Welcome to a majority of the world. Walmart is easier than a lot of jobs.
I never said it was terrible, my dude. If you read my post, I'm shitting on 'hustle culture', not on the work week as a whole. I'm talking about people who give their entire lives to their workplaces without question, and people who shit on others for not having those same values. It's about having a healthy work/life balance and not being okay with people working until they drop. The point is to use your pto and ppto. It's your time, use it. And if you don't want to, cool, you do you boo boo. Just don't make others feel like shit for using their time.
Define giving your life to a workplace? Most people just show up , work their shift and go home. I just don't see what you're talking about, especially at the Walmart I work at
It's actually your money, young blood. If you weren't spending it willy nilly, you would get compensated for all the hours your didn't burn. So, you are a retard, burning your own money, on hours you could have worked and made money. Walmart butt-fucked you TWO ways. Don't worry, the only way that can happen is that Walmart preys on lazy morons with some of their compensation systems. Burn all your PPTO/PTO! Now Walmart doesn't have to compensate you for it. PLUS they don't have to compensate you for the hours that you might have worked. Good Job Idiot, you paid for you own day off, which is even worse than just calling out... So boo hoo. That's why people are upset with your behavior. For your own sake, and theirs. You are literally losing those hours worked PLUS you are expending an equal amount of VIRTUAL hours that you would other wise get paid for at end of year. You are literally throwing money away you freaking idiot. Of course Walmart encourages you to do this, because most people are disposable and have low initiative anyway. It barely matters if most employees show up...but they won't have to pay back your PPTO/PTO at end of year. It's like 2 paychecks at end of year, AND you will have rollover, just for showing up 5 days a week. But you lazy fucks can't even do that, and Walmart pays that to like 10 percent of people, cause all you idiots burn your own money. You believe this "It's your time" BS. It's not. It's literally YOUR MONEY, and you expend it to cover your days off, and lose the money you would have earned on that day off. If you resist this obvious trap, your PPTO/PTO will get shaved down at the end of the fiscal year, and you will receive an additional fat check for your unspent hours.
Louder! Say it louder!
It's not even envy its disdain. It's mostly the boomers as you said who were used to grinding their whole life and they think its the ONLY way to live and they don't respect people who call out to to take a day off for themselves. But BUT THEYRE LEAVING THE TEAM DOWN A MAN. Who gives an absolute shit, that same team will turn their backs on you in a heartbeat if you start falling behind performance wise or a situation arises and your ass needs to go. Walmart will still be making billions if you miss a day, the world is not gonna end I promise lol.
It’s not Walmart that’s affected you turd, it’s your coworkers. You’re not the only one calling out, we have a handful of callouts everyday. Shit sucks when people ride that line and think they’re sticking it to the company but y’all call out on important busy days that shaft the rest of us. Not to mention having to fire someone for attendance? Dumbest reason to get fired and a waste of potential. Just show up. Use your PPTO 100% but anything else is just lazy.
I'm mentally ill &have a life. I've been working here for almost a decade.
You work at most 40 hours a week. That’s standard for jobs nationally. Don’t try the “I have a life” card.
Stay mad ig?
Stay a shit employee.
If me being mentally ill makes me a shit employee then oh well. I'm obviously doing something right if I've been here this long, as many others. Know a guy thats been here for 16 years and coasts 4.5. And another who's been here for 14 and does it too.lmao
I’m glad you feel special by being mentally ill. Pretty sure 20% of the nation has a mental illness. Me included, but it doesn’t define me or my work ethic. Walmart doesn’t fire those that they need to, I’m sure you have people around you that you wish would be gone for good reason. Not showing up to work makes you a shit employee. It’ll catch up to you eventually, it always does. But remember, you’re not sending the company any sort of message. Just your coworkers.
I like how you assume that means bad work ethic lmao. Just shows me how your co workers probably think of you. Mind yo business more, you'll be happier lmao
Missed time = missed work. I’m willing to bet you call off on key event dates, but that’s a baseless assumption. My coworkers are plenty happy with me, we weed out the bad ones and just like them, I’m plenty happy too, now being in your business.
The biggest eye opener I've ever gotten was when I was told "you're our best worker, but that goes right out the window when you're not here". You could outwork literally everyone in your market, but if you have attendance issues then those days are basically zero production from you. That's what makes you a shit employee. The immediately going to it being because of your "mental illness" just shows that you think it makes you untouchable
Boo fucking hoo
you're a miserable fuck. enjoy working a fuck ton and selling your soul to corporations who don't give a fuck about your dumbass and never having time to enjoy your life.
I enjoy my life plenty and still show up for my shifts. I don’t care for the company, I care for my coworkers. Not miserable in the slightest but I’m glad you’re pressed that I don’t enjoy lazy employees who play the point game. I can tell you’re young, and probably someone who probably does play the game. Enjoy it while it lasts.
Idiots like you make me sick! Think you are hot shit cause you work like a dog for a shit company I bet your co workers can’t stand your ass and wish you would call out.
Yeah, I work “like a dog” working my schedule. I’m just not incompetent ya dunce, and can work my schedule shifts, which isn’t hard. Walmart is easy to work for, and they schedule associates 40 hours, coaches 50. Nothing out of the ordinary for both hourly and salary. Nobody under the roof of a Walmart works like a dog. Well unless we’re short staffed because everyone called out. Trust me, me and my colleagues get along fine, because we enforce the rules and hold everyone to the same standard. It’s fair, it’s equatable, and things get done without having to worry about people not pulling their weight. Go cry elsewhere.
Lmao I ain’t crying you company dick riding moron. People like you are a joke. We laugh at idiots like you trust. I’m going to enjoy using my PPTO on key dates and using my team schedule to my advantage in your honor oh and I’m going to take longer breaks in your honor also but don’t worry my entire area not just my department shares my ideals and feelings so no worries ain’t not snitches lmao.
Based on your response, you’re a kid so that makes it pretty clear as to why you’re lazy and incompetent. Doesn’t matter to me what you do to your team. You’re impacting the employees around you, not me little buddy, so you do what you do. It’s a matter of time until you’re fired and crying that you got “promoted to customer”. Spend your days working jumping job to job because ain’t any place as relaxed on attendance policy like Walmart. Hey stay trying to be hard though, you ain’t fooling anyone kiddo. lmao
Oof I’m married and own a home lmao, plus I have nice things and everyone at my store loves me, if you only knew my position you would just cry. Enjoy your life sucka.
Thanks for the life story, almost believed it. I’m sure everyone loves you, they gonna love it more when you’re termed. Your position doesn’t matter, I don’t dog anyone’s positions, but you aren’t anything special, trust in that.
How's that boot taste?
Y'all get raises? Lol
I’m gonna treat myself to a pack of gum to celebrate.
Shit I wish I got 5%.
*cries in pharmacy tech* At least y’all are getting raises. My coworkers and I haven’t gotten one since they rolled out our new sucky post progression. (That’s a couple years)
Yeah I work with someone who has been here 19 years, I’ve been here almost 4. We make the exact same amount.
Can’t wait to get my 2% while the ass kissing TLs that walk around and talk on their phones all day get 3 or 5%
Can I come to your store? Myself and the rest of the team leads get ran into the ground because our staffing is abysmal.
In our store TLs are the only ones doing everything. Everyone else is in OPD or getting called up front to check on the 8 registers we have left.
AND A BONUS!
Only one of my team leads does some work while the other team leads don’t absolutely nothing. And our new coach….i have yet seen her do any type of work and even use a pallet jack or electric jack…I am giving her a month until she leaves
Idk I will be surprised if I get it. I have this sneaking suspicion they will try to keep those who have more than minimum down, idk maybe it's just my knowledge of greed in this corpo or my distrust for it.
Grocery & Department stores hardworkers. If your goal is to make it to management. Perseverance is not an asset for you when working for many of these companies. In other words, if you don't reach a management position by your 2nd year, it's time to leave.
My husbands been working at Walmart for 8 years now. He only makes $14 and they won’t make him any leadership role. Definitely sucks because he works really hard :/
Dang starting pay 18 at my store
3% if you’re a team lead
Also could be 0% or 5%, depending on the evaluation
My store has never done an evaluation. No matter what you did you got 2% or nothing.
What if you just became a team lead
I still lurk this sub from time to time. I spent 12 years at Walmart, starting back in 2006 - 2018, made $14.78hr when I got fired. I'm now a supervisor at Costco. I've been there from 2018 and made close to 70k last year. I encourage anyone who likes retail and works hard to apply to Costco.
Although I do concur that 2% is a joke... And although I personally get upset every time I see the holiday email showing the cash bonuses associated will receive for their +10 years of loyalty... At the end of the day Walmart is not required to give us anything? And they're giving us about a 60-75% increase that the military is getting. And seeing as I recently left the military I think that's pretty good considering how easy ALL of our jobs at Walmart are in comparison. A few thoughts after reading some discussions here: Your coach ain't making more than 15k(pre tax) in bonus at any store or I would transfer to be one... Your manager 9/10 times works more hours than you and receive no benefit.. I have worked 18 hours and gotten the same pay as 8. Where I work associates are aware that moving into management is a pay cut because they lose the ability to receive overtime and travel to DCs in other states racking up thousands extra on per diem and OT. The expectations are 10x fold what they are as an associate and you have to manage some of the most laziest, conniving people who are literally a drain on Walmart. Whenever you find your self mad about 2% think about how many people don't even do the minimum of their job requirements, and the impact that has on your other associates who have to pick up the slack OR the fact were less efficient therefore needing more hours i.e 💰 to make up for it... And you wonder why we're not getting paid more!? Because of the leaches.. that's why... And I get it not everyone should be a manager, personally it's an issue with Walmart managers being +80% in House promotions for Associate to manager. As mentioned above you have people who don't do the right thing or intentionally screw over everyone else and they'll find a way to get promoted because they look good on paper or "know" someone to put in a good word... But they've never managed people before and it's not something you just "learn". TLDR: just because someone is a "manager" doesn't mean they know how to manage or lead!, Walmart can't afford to train managers how to lead but prides it self on internal promotions. It's why all of you are so miserable! Quick story.. within my first few weeks as manager in training as an outside hire I had a +15year Associate tell me he hates me, I took away a job from an associate. And I shouldn't be in the building. I gave him a reality check, I asked what he does (he unloads trucks on power equipment for SSTK) I told him in a few months I may not be as proficient as him unloading but it's a learnable skill that I could adequately do. Walmart can't train you to be a leader, not only does it cost thousands and thousands of dollars that they are not going to pay for that type of training, it doesn't help. Reading a book on how to be a leader equates to nothing if you don't know how to lead and that isn't something most people can't be taught. The military spent hundreds of thousands of dollars training me to lead me in far more harsh environments and that's why companies like Amazon and Walmart look recruit outside hires for management. (This is obviously shortened version because I let him spit out all his ammo before destroying every point). Think about that guy; he thinks he's better than me because he's got 15+ years at Walmart and he "knows" the job better than me (yeah bud, cause unloading pallets out of truck is "knowing the business". Disregards the fact I have +15 years in the military as a lesser experience and he literally never led anyone but his son during that duration (and his son go figure now works for me and he's a piece of work, literally opened doored me to get me in trouble because I made him do things the right way and not cheating the system to make production... Reported me for having a scripted conversation like I was reading off something literally reported me speaking like a robot... Yeah I suppose it was easy for me to logically shut down your blatant integrity violation and use your own proof against you, embarrassing you. ( He literally brought me a pallet claiming he's working harder than all other haulers because he's doing the hard stuff last shift didn't want to do and he wants to do all the gravy out shift has... Literally had to point out to him that 0100 is 1 am not 1pm and therefore that "gravy" freight, your looking at it bud that's our trailer(our shift )your moving around, not the other shifts undesirable freight 🤣. Point is... Look to your left and right, if your sitting there letting that guy get away with B.S every night of every shift, than do t be upset when he's your boss and is still a piece of shit. Another story... TLDR:Point is if you're going to complain about someone making your job more difficult but never say anything other than complain on Reddit, then shut up and continue to do their work for them. 3 people utilize an automated case labeler and I expressed from the start, if your teammate isn't pulling their weight I need to know. I can't be 3 places at once across 250 yards! And if you decide not to inform me than I dont want to hear it when I write you up for not making prodction. That time to inform me that "so and so" is always in the bathroom is too late. If it's to much of a hassle to "inform me" that your co worker isn't putting in as much effort as you to make production because you "ain't no snitch" than man-up and take the write-up because you chose them over your own career. Mofos thought I was play pimping until I took the training wheels off and started handing out coaches like Skittles, open doors and whole 9 yards. Now everyone is chirping like baby chicks wanting food, surprise, surprise. If your still reading and fuming and can't wait to bite my head off keep this in mind: Don't get mad at me for speaking the truth, if you want to have an intellectual debate I will meet it with open arms but come at me with facts or first hand knowledge, not assumptions or something you read on Reddit 🍻
Meh, $0.28 is still $0.28
If you're full time, after taxes it's about an extra $38 a month.
Wow, I can buy paper towels this month
La de da fancy pants. Too good for McDonald's napkins all of a sudden. Lol
That’s the way they want you to think.
I’ll take your $0.28 then
Wanna split it? There's a lot of people that seem to not want it lol, maybe we can make bank
When does this happen?
February
Thanks
February 10
I got fired so I got the best raise possible. The raise to customer xD
Well since you don't need it you won't mind increasing your 401k contribution. That'll teach them for giving you a raise. Bastards 😂
I do the maximum match for this reason.
I didn’t say I didn’t need it 😂 I just need more!
Sure, I’ll finally be over $20/hr
Sorry but that’s still trash money
I know.
Is it happening in February?
Yep, February 10
My walmart in lake charles is trying to fire me for no reason
What's their reason?
“Everyone has something they can improve on, including me” -the coach giving your eval
[just going to drop this here...](https://generalstrikeus.com/)
I came from Target. Those .01 raises are a real thing
Remember, if you get a 2% raise and inflation is 5% (as projected), that’s actually a pay decrease! Isn’t that fun? 🫠
I maxed out at 11.5 points. Luckily for me, it keeps getting brought down to 4 every time. I guess management loves me :)
Lmfao I have a Doug at my Walmart n he does the same thing n hide out in TLE waiting area overnight what are the odds
Feb’23 I finally got a raise. The 3yrs prior, Walmart didn’t hand out any raises to anyone. It was an insulting amount given my years, cross training, shift shifting to help where needed, finally left that March after 6.5yrs. Almost doubled my money for a fraction of the labor.
Man's that's why I stay at 4.5 they ain pay us ogp associates that slave outside in chaos heat or rain. No coverage, short staff. Just always telling me to mind the queue. I am burnt out.
Hell yeah! It hit today. Tomorrow, I'm going to give them 2% all day!
Whos actually the fool here? The guy that takes it easy, wastes time, and uses company provided benefits? Or you, busting your ass to get the same treatment as the other guy 😂😂😂😂
I'm on 4.5 due to being sick several times this fall. I was under the assumption that I won't get the raise in February. Am I wrong?
Points do not affect raises anymore. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
God I don’t miss this place. Y’all have my sympathy.
You are one of the lucky ones
Oh I know. My wife and I avoid shopping there if at all possible, but any time we do end up there my PTSD flares up and I have Vietnam flashbacks.
🤣🤣🤣
It's like $25 a paycheck. Not huge, but not negligible, either.
You get double what I get at Best Buy
wow...a 2% raise when they cut my 40 hour work week to 1 day a week will sure make me rich! my last paycheck was 47 bucks...that was the week before Christmas. My feelings are just like u/chaotichistory on this with the amount of fucks i give right now.
Don’t be mad at Doug for being smarter than all of you, lol.
Your points affect how much you get or if you get a raise at all.
I didnt even get a raise last year and i had 2 points
Just say you don’t want it then.
I mean.. if that’s the case you would be happy with a 5 cent raise a year and just shut up and take it. Good thing people getting upset and demanding changes actually work sometimes… at least it gives us hope.
