This is an interesting web site. I visit daily and read the associate letters. One reason I do is so I can find out if the rules/hours/pay… whatever…changes are really coming from home office or they are just our management making changes. I am a LONG term assoc. and have had this game played on me a lot in the last 20+ years. The new one now is the total overhaul of our scheduling. People being slotted to work where they have no training. For example, IMS slotted to CSM…and being made to do so with no idea how to do the job. Floor assoc. put up on the registers who don’t even have sign on numbers and have never run a register. Seems like they are setting people up to fail. We are told home office is making the schedule and management has no control. Hours are being slashed. I have seen sales slump for a while before and they cut us all back for a while but I’ve never seen a response like this. The management team we have in our store is so under trained. Our store manager has to be the worst I’ve seen. The store has turned into a mess. We used to have an outlet to voice concern but with the new “Market Management ” team approach the open door policy has gone out the window.They come into the store and don’t talk to anybody but managment then walk out leaving us with pages and pages of notes. Is this going on everywhere? All I know for sure is Sam is rolling over in his grave. Walmart is not the same as it was when he was in charge. Sure retail will change with the times but the culture of Sam has died. This company is no longer family oriented. Seems all they are worried about is money.
