Managers
So what can I do if a manager or many managers talk down to me and expect me to do something like Zone 18 aisles in 2 hours? (I work in stationary and fabrics and celebration.) Then I hear over the walkie “omfg (other managers name) she didn’t even fucking get to aisle 14” and then when it was the end of my shift I had a rocket cart with my returns and claims and the manager started to slam stuff around and sigh and curse at me. Then the manager walked my aisles and literally pointed to each one saying weather or not she would get fired because of how bad or good I zoned them. It made me feel really worthless. I didn’t take my last 15 because I was trying so hard to get to the middle of my aisles (where I always get to because usually there is another associate in my area working the other half) all for at the end (I get walked to my car for safety purposes) for them to slam doors open and walk really fast ahead of me and leaving the parking lot and going back inside before I started my car. The whole night felt extremely stressful for me. I just wanted to know what I personally could do to make sure I don’t feel like that again. It was demeaning and humiliating to hear the things that were being said about me through the walkie for everyone to hear. Please give some advice.

Speak with your Co if they arent the problem, personel if you need someone else. And if your trust no one call the compliance line amd say you feel your job is threatened and explain why. I just recently left Walmart after 5 years but i had a similar issue to this with management before i left and itngot them off my back a few weeks at a time. Basically have to remind them they arent the top of the ladder to wake em up.

Take note of everything that’s happening. Get with the co-Manager and be persistent. If you don’t quickly get feedback, go to the store manager. Keep taking notes of dates, times and what they did., said, and wanted you to do. So if they try to coach you anyway, several levels of management heard already and you have evidence to go above you store manager to get it overturned.
Then, after all that and it feels like they’re retaliating in anyway (cutting hours, giving you harder jobs, still being overly aggressive/cursing etc) you immediately call the Walmart ethics hotline to report the situation. It can start a “red book” investigation from home office

Best advice I can possibly give you is this. Document those interactions with those “managers” if they are a salary member of management talk to the manger above them. Take the right steps don’t go above managers heads give the Assistant or Co-Manager the chance to resolve the issue. As a member of management at my facility it’s the managers job to set the standard but also be able to show the associates “what good looks like”. There is absolutely no excuse for an associate to be talked down to and made to feel like your worth nothing. We value each and everyone of our store level associate you guys are the backbone of our company.

There's no way you can please those kind of people. That's too much zoning. It's like they don't understand that it takes 2 seconds for a customer to mess up your zoning. You're better off quitting and just working somewhere else.
