What about employees that have worked for Walmart for 6 or 7 years and start getting written up for “being too slow”, or other trumpted up charges and then are fired? I know 2 employees over the past 2 months. At 2 different Walmart stores. One was told he was “rehireable” and told they could go to another Walmart in the area or wait six months to reapply at the current store. I’m sure he will be hired back at minimum wage and part time at the same store he was working at for 7 years full time. The other has a medical problem that his insurance through Walmart has been covering. He was told he is not “rehireable. Is there a pattern here? Anyone else out there?

Hey I used too work at Wal-Mart 06/2012, been there for 2yrs been to 3diffenert location. And everything the say about Wal-Mart is very true, how the work the work , give overtime and don’t pay them is true, how the hired who the want or think there not a good person for the job, andi was terminated couple a mouths ago because the don’t work with doctor notes and never had a write up sent I been when them and still let me go . Wal-Mart is a bad company and fake what the do mamgent system is mess up

Oh and I have blood sugar problems as well. I passed out on the job once and two fellow employees caught me and carried me to the fitting room. The manager that WITNESSED me passing out just looked at me like I was on drugs when I said I needed sugar. One of the girls I work with (who knew about my problem) sprinted to get me an orange juice but didn’t know where the small bottles were-she wound up bringing me a half gallon bottle because she was in a hurry. The manager snatched it away from her and WALKED-slowly-to go get a small bottle. Meanwhile, I was laying on the floor in the fitting room unable to feel my face. Didja know that you can go into a coma and die from that??? I even said I’d pay for the half gallon, I just needed it quickly. He ignored me. Thought my apparel girls were going to murder him, they were all standing over me totally shocked…luckily he DID manage to get it back to me before I went into shock.

I worked for Walmart, had to take a medical leave to ha e my appendix out and they counted it against me even though the store manager signed off on my papers and I was terminated! They don’t care one nit about the employees, there were many of times we worked through breaks or had them an hour or more after the were scheduled, if its not about the big-wigs they don’t care. It is the most selfish and uncaring place anyone could ever work

worked in illinois and got check think it was for 225.00 and rememberd the attachment said i have to pay taxes on the check not shure if that was the w-2 form or if i was getting one maild to me would any one out there have the attys name or address

I work for walmart for 5 years. In August of 2011 I accepted a position as a dept. mgr. In september of 2011, I received a $2.00 increase. I assumed this was customary, there was no paper work explaining it. Then, sixteen months later walmart removed that $2.00 increase from my pay check without notice, or explanation. When I inquired with the personnel lady she said that I received a shift premium in Sept. 2011, for working midnights and it was supposed to be removed off my paycheck in October of 2011 but that it wasnt. It does not state on my check that it is a shift premium. So without notice they took it back. Is that legal?

My husband and I currently work for Wal-Mart going on 7 years here in Las cruses New Mexico. I’ve seen so much done to fellow coworkers and endured so much myself, form being treated unfairly, mistreated ,humiliated, discriminated, intimidated, to pushed out of there full time positions or any positions within the store.
Now I face losing my full time position myself to a part-time position with no benefits, because I can’t open my availability any latter then 10pm. I have what they call closed availability that my own store manager set up for me, because my husband has to go in for his shift that starts at 10pm.
We still have 4 under age children and can’t afford daycare, so we chose to work opposite shifts from one other, it was our store managers idea to switch him to the night shift saying it was the best he could do for us, so ok we took it, then in September 2012 one of our sons was diagnosed with epileptic seizures (the drop kind), but while on a medical leave the day my son an I returned from Albuquerque, my husband reports for his shift that evening only to be sent home three hours into his shift because Wal-Mart’s overnight management fired him for calling in three days of his shift, that all of a sudden he had an attendance issue. All because he needed to stay home with the other three children while I was in Albuquerque three days trying to find out what was going on with our son. When he tried talking to management he was just ignored and given his last paycheck. My husband then called corporate and explained what had happened, after a month and a half almost two months he was reinstated but was told by the same managers that they decided to hire him back.
I’ve seen and still see where the rules are bent for some coworkers, one of my coworkers has some what of the same problem that I do as far as being able to work passed 5pm because not only being a single parent but having child care issues as well, refuses to close the availability, because of being told, you’re not guaranteed hours. was given all morning shifts 7-4pm or 8-5pm, and if the system dared schedule me or anyone else those shifts management would ether remove us and replace it with that coworker or we would consistently be harassed by this coworker being told how we stole that schedule and we are what the store calls closers, and that’s it. that because working for the company for 7years, this coworker not only deserves the morning shifts but also deserves not having to do any or as little tasks possible compared to the rest of us, even though were all at the same level a cashier / sales person. when we tried to address it, the only response by all of management team including our own store manager was and or still is silence along with that’s just how that person is everyone knows that and we just all need to get along.
When I tried talking to my store manager, his response was that my availability needs to open up that’s the best he could do, and he already told people not to schedule me any hours if I didn’t open my availability, that my availability doesn’t work for the store’s needs, he goes on to say, that its closed availabilities like mine that has caused a hiring freeze for our store, but then says how he’s having to hire temps to fill in our store’s needs. OK huh?
I can still remember When an opening came up for a department manager in my department, I was told by a member of management form my store hiring for the position, that the position I was applying for needed a man because it was a man’s department then hired one. I can remember another time when I first started same manager was on duty when I had a big minstrel accident and needing to go home, approaching the end of my shift any way I asked if he would allow me to go home and why, his response was no, just wrap something around me and finish my shift, so I did. I told another manager about it but I don’t believe anything was done, because he still works there.
I’ve seen where management would write up (coach) or even fire fellow coworkers for making accident reports when they were injured on the job, sometimes severely injured. So a lot of coworkers myself included have gone without reporting any injury’s over the years. It’s only been recently that we can now make incident reports (meaning because no doctor is needed there’s no need to worry about getting written up, and the injury would still go on record) verses accident reports (meaning because a doctor is needed, the injury not only goes on record they will write you up or fire you).
I’ve worked hours for the store that should have been over time and was told like so many others that I couldn’t keep it, if I did I would be written up (coached) so then I was told I had to kill it by taking 2 or more longer lunch hours, being sent home early, or given an extra day off. For a while now, they have and still do cut what they call store hours just because of store bonuses or the holidays. They don’t want employees to make beyond a certain amount. So if you are full-time (40 hours a week) they would make sure your schedule was changed to 32 hours or less that week, just so that 8 hours or so you put in during the holidays would add to the total hours needed for that week or your (40 hours).
I have also seen along with so many others the retaliation that takes place within my store being done by the management team up to our own store manager and then seen them cover it up the same way. With the Lack of jobs available as it is, trying to find one that pays the same or even close to my current pay rate, just so I don’t have to start over at minimum wage is just not happening. So speaking up isn’t always the best idea, making it so very easy for me and so many others like me especially single parents to feel trapped, when all were trying to do is to provide and feed our children.

THE MANGERS AT WAL-MART THEY FEEL THEY CAN TALK TO YOU ANYWAY THEY WANT.

After reading many stories online about Walmart and having my girlfriend come home and tell me horror stories about her day working at Walmart, I see all the lawsuits have done little to change how they treat their employees. Walmart is still BREAKING LAWS!!! The only way there will be ANY change is to stop settling out of court. I have spoken with a lawyer and this is the advice he gave my girlfriend. The first thing he said was this will not be easy or a quick process, make sure you’re in it for the long haul if you start this. Walmart counts on people to just walk away and not bother. Write everything down with as much detail as possible.
Never bad mouth anyone while at work
When you go on breaks or lunches, go where you cant be found easily.
Always remember every state has different laws and you may have more rights in some than others.
From all I’ve read and heard this has to be coming from corp.
Another thing is this is not just Walmart doing this, a LOT of large companies are operating this way and it’s all fueled by one thing…
…GREED.

It really pains me to have to read the above comment by a co manager. Your English and spelling are a terrible representation of the company! The co manager of my store also has poor English and uses double negatives constantly, I so badly would like to correct her, but we all know what will happen! I am only an hourly pay grade 3, but words coming out of my mouth are a hell of a lot more meaningful than yours. I cant imagine why walmart employees are considered to be the bottom of the barrel

I was terminated from Wal-Mart after pressing charges on one of the managers while working. He was moved from the store and the issue was payed off, he got promoted and came back and fired me. Need t know who to talk too to get some help.

well i worked for walmart for over 10 yrs the only person that asked me to work off the clock was a dept manager who was disabled and she would ask anyone for help if they were around to be honest but she asked not told or forced i helped her sometimes myself for a minute but i wasnt going to sue walmart over if a disabled person asked to to hand them something that takes you literally a few sec you just do it its polite if you do not want to say no im not working but i saw these other women who literally used that woman just so they could join that lawsuit with there friend i thought that was a disgrace

I received a letter about 2 years ago that said I was in on the walmart lawsuit but I haven’t heard anything since then. I would love to know what is going on with the lawsuit and if I am going receive anything. I worked at Walmart in Greer SC for 6 years.

I received papers about this lawsuit as well i want to know have any one recieved anything or any information will help please

I am currently a Walmart employee. I am a part time cashier but I am personally fed up with the company. We get crazy hours, most of the time I only get 24-29 hours but yet the schedule me 7-8 days in a row sometimes. I confronted them about them scheduling me so many days in row and my zms and Ams did nothing, i had to find a co manager from a totally different department to change it and even after I was scheduled 7 days in a row again. We are so understaffed so it is rare that we get our lunches or breaks on time. When you ask about your break they make you wait another hour because they are short staffed. I do have a high number of absences because I get so frustrated with the company. I am pulled between cashier and customer service and i am only scheduled as a cashier. I am expected to help close the service desk yet I do not get paid for it and they denied me the job when I updated my preferances. Our managers are rude and do not communicate, i have not been coached for my 9 absences in almost a year but I am just waiting for the day they fire me. I make less then my brother and he is a cook at a fast food resteraunt. They do not offer me benefits, overtime, they do not allow you to switch departments, you get paid horriby, and it is a terrible company! The wealthiest provate employer in the world and I am getting bad $9.00 to do things that are not my job, that I should be getting paid for.

I just got another check for this ($52.85),

My husband had started working for Walmart in NH in Dec 2011. My husband fell on their property and while on workman’s comp they fired him 3 times and 3 times of contacting the Labor Board they gave him his job back. We were transferred to FL. with him requesting a hardship transfer, due to my severe health problems of COPD and emphysema. NH treated him fairly but FL. is totally different. Here in FL. they cut his 4 days a week of 32 hours down to 3 days a week stating that the store managers get bigger bonus’ by cutting employees hours (whether full or part time). On several occasions, they made him work through his breaks and lunch times stating that’s their store policy. In NH he had the option of direct deposit, Walmart money network card or paper check. Here in FL they stated that since there was no bank for direct deposit the only way he would receive his pay is through the Walmart money network card and there is no other option if he wished to get paid. (as they have done with other employees). While working with a piece of broken machinery that was reported several times, the machine injured his hand while he was working. The store manager ignored it and made him work his shift. He went to the ER after his shift and the store manager and Walmart insurance state that he wasn’t suppose without Walmart approval which was denied upon my husband’s request, so they have ignored some of those medical bills. On Sept 12, 2015 my husband passed away unexpectedly from a brain aneurysm and I have continuously tried to obtain his last paycheck for food and bills. I have tried from the 1th to date and they have told me that without a pin number I can not obtain his paycheck because I need a POA. I have constantly explained that this was sudden and we were not prepared. They have told me to go to court and get one because there is nothing they can do for me. I have explained that I can not obtain a POA and they say it’s my problem and it’s their policy. My world of 23 years with my husband has collapsed and Walmart now treats not only myself but my husband as just numbers that belong to strangers and say that whatever they do is their policy and that’s how it is.

I worked for WalMart in 2006-2008, I haven’t heard of this and would like to know how I can get involved in this cause we worked overtime in Anderson when I was on 2nd shift instock. Would truly like to know cause my shift at the Anderson WalMart was 2pm-11pm and sometimes we were there to 1 am unstocking the truck and truly not getting counted for that over time

Can walmart make you sign a new work schedule, after you had signed an agreement for previous full time schedule. Then schedule full time associates part time shifts for not signing their own preference schedule. I read it’s against the law to schedule full time associate less than 32 hours They are doing this to full time associates that have had a signed previous schedule agreements. They sometimes get less than 10 hours a week to make them change availability, they agreed and management confirmed.

I work for Walmart going on 29 years ., on night shift., it’s several time in the morning at 7 am no or in the Department they ask me to help off the clock,. I’ll do that ., an majority of the time we had to stay over hour or two to finish the stocking., Shift From 10pm to 7pm , I usually take a 30 minute lunch only one break to finished the job
