As you all know Wal Mart is considered one of the most admired companies in the US. But then, I am sure that we have all had a bad experience shopping there or working there. And I am about to tell you about my experience working there.
I've been in my current store for just a bit over 6 years. And now, its hard for me to quit and give up my vacation, sick hours, personal time and make the wages that I make. But now it comes down to how I am treated and whether or not I will be there for the next holiday season.
I have held many different positions in my store and am considered a very valuable asset. But that depends who you talk to. My store manager, whom resembles Porky Pig, just states that I am an over paid stocker.
About a 2 months ago, I began having pain in my hands. I followed procedure, filling out an incident report. A month later, I decided that I should see the company doctor. I had to deal with a very hateful employee to get my paper work filled out.
She took her time and just kept brow beating me for wanting to see a doctor. I finally got tired of being talked to like I was S& on her shoe. So I went home.
I got a phone call from my store manager the same day. He stated that I had 3 hours to get back to the store or my status of employment would be in jeopardy. The hateful woman that I had dealt with earlier, told him that I had refused a drug screen.
I returned to the store, only to be asked if I had a problem taking a drug screen. I was there for 2 and a half hours for them to send me out for a test. Never seen a doctor, until a week later.
I tried to explain to my store manager what had happened, but he had no desire to hear anything that I had to say. I have complained to my assistant manager, and my co manager. Still nothing.
Now I am seeing the comany doctor and wearing a hand brace every day at work. I have been diagnosed with the beginning stages of carpal tunnel. Now the issue is if Wal Mart will pay for it.
I can safely say that I enjoy my job. I have had other issues with co workers and have had to have them dealt with. But nothing like this has ever happened to me. I have had issues with sexual harrassment by co-workers, hostile work environmnet issues.
Its about time someone put an end to this. I have heard numerous complaints from employees, and customers about the things that they see and how they are treated. And just like me they are tired of it.
I have been pushed out of positions. Asked to take them, take the job and then when I get to where things are starting to really come together, I am sabotaged. I have had personal issues in my life that have made dealing with male supervisors hard.
Then get a male supervisor that strides himself on making his department managers cry once a week. Tell me that is right. Besides the fact that he will brag about it all day. No woman I know deserves that.
I need my job or other wise I would be out of that store, and out of the evil Wal Mart empire. My boyfriend feels as though I am taken advantage of and completely abused at work. But what else do you do.
I go in to do a job and well anymore that is all I do. Then I go home and look at the classified ads for something that I would be qualified to do and not lose alot of money.
This is just my experiences with Wal Mart. Hope that you don't end up where I am.
