Anonymous on the Open Door Policy and Talking to Management
“The employees of Wal-Mart are sick of it! But we are all caught between a rock and a hard place. Wal-Mart pays just enough to keep us there, but not enough to survive. And raises? That’s a joke! The open door policy? A thing of the past. If you have a problem with the way things are, you have to be careful with who you speak to, or you will find yourself on unemployment. Unethical practices and sexual harassment? They happen at all Wal-Marts, many people are just afraid to speak up for fear of losing their paycheck. At my store, we never have enough help at the front end or on the floor, which has caused a lot of undue stress. You can talk all day long to management about how things are and it’s like talking to the wall! When you do get someone in management to listen, they turn it all around to make them look like they haven’t done a thing wrong.”
