Well after everything that I have been through. I have received another D-day.
That means that I am stuck on overnight for a year.
But after I look back I have been at this store for 4 years and I have been under coachings for the last two.
Since this new store manager has taken over she has had me under coachings.
So I have given up the idea of ever moving up in  this company.
I am sitting hear trying to figure out how to write a letter on my goals for walmart are.
The reason for this D-day was because I had missed three days since April.
This sat me down and told me that they had no other choice but to do this.
I just sat there. They asked if I was upset about it? Like they were expecting me to get all pissed off and start to cry. But I was not going to give them the satifation.
I told them since my last Heart attack last year I have been very watchful over my health and that my health is more important than this job is.
But I have been looking for another job.l Going to start working on my typing skills because Sacramento has a class through the Fire department to train you as a Dispatcher. So I am looking forward to working there. Starting at 19.35 an hour.
After all I have been through. I really will hate to leave because I love working there the associates are great I was really hoping to get into the management program.
But not even going to try anymore. Just going to do my job until I find something else.
Lady

Sadly, I agree with you that you probably don't have much hope of moving up as long as that management team is at your store. I know the same thing happens at my store, that once someone is not liked they have no chance of doing anything within the company, and are mistreated.
 
Hang in there! If you need anything let us know.

I agree, I feel like I am being treated the same way at my store most of the time.

It sure sounds like you have a big problem in that store..and you are getting the
""TREATMENT"" I agree with Lies ..they will keep something on your record to prevent you from applying for anything else..I have seen this happen to some assicoates and they were left with one of two choices...make up thier minds they liked it where they were at and be quite and do the job...or find something else,...other jobs are hard  to find in this area ..espeacially for women ....and our magement knows that...we see male assicoates treated   different evry day ...
It's to dam bad that mangement can't or won't sit down with a assicoate and talk things out before it gets to a d day..I know they claim they do ..but I haven't
 seen it happen ...

I haven't ever seen them work with someone before a d-day either. I have seen them treat people badly and say that was thier help, but no true help. Sadly, i agree.
 
I do see many female assocaites mistreated, but i do see at the stores i have worked at male associates being wronged as well. Females aren't always required to do the same duties as guys. Not saying all, but i have seen not equal treatment on both sides of the fences.

I feel so bad for you. I know they treat us like crap. There is no sympathy for any illness and 3 days since April doesn't seem excessive but this is a limit to allow them  more leeway to get rid of people I think. 
 
Get your resume' up to date and start looking. IF not physically hitting the bricks, then on line is not as time consuming  and most places allow for on line applications.
 
Best of luck to you, Im sending you a virtual hug!

My update---- Well went to work....Not looking forward to it....
Took my little letter that I had to write for my Goals at walmart because of my D-day.
But get this......When she went to put it on the computer....She showed me what she wrote on my d-day...She put down that I had missed since my written....
03/11/08 03/12/03 06/02/08...
I told her that the first two days I was on a LOA.....
So she said she would have to research this and get back to me.
I still have not signed or put my name on anything.
So I may have gotten out of a d-day
I sure hope so....You would think that they would look at the dates to makes sure that there was no loa's...
Well I have my fingers crossed.
Lady

Yeah, I remember when my hopes and dreams of moving up were killed, and I simply put myself on "auto pilot" until I could find another job, you know, not going the extra mile, not going out of my way for anything, just coming in and doing the minimum amount of work required so as to not be fired.
 
And they had no other choice but to do this huh? Is your store the only one out of 5,000 where the attendance policy applies to everyone. I'll be honest, this is one of those things where you should have had countless examples of people getting away scott free.

I can sympathize also.  I gave up going the extra mile. I have no respect for any manager at the store I work at. The store manager herself is the cause of a lot of problems.   Just too much to bear sometimes..........
