My Wal-mart has now become like the rest

Tweet

I used to brag because the store I work at had always been unlike the many horror stories I have heard time and time again. Well, my Wal-mart has now joined the ranks of stores who treat their employees poorly and now I'm directly affected by it. I have a medical problem that has been slowing me down the last couple of weeks. You know they took me into the office and suggested I take a leave of absence before my medical condition caused me to lose my job due to a decrease in my job performance? Yeah. They did that. They gave me a verbal warning. 4 years of my life has gone into that company without so much as a warning and I'm taken into the office over the last two weeks while I've been affected by this condition. I am now on leave. Another thing is that I was told I was going to be put into a department I used to run. Well, I was placed on midnights and didn't want to be, but they said they weren't going to put me in the department I was supposed to go to and the only full-time positions open were midnight positions. Well, I just found out they are putting 3 people in the department I was supposed to go to. Also, a young lady is on leave due to a back injury and they fired her because her leave was beyond 12 weeks. This is despite the fact her doctor provided documentation stating she could not yet go back to work. I could go on, but things in my store have been horrible. Morale is terrible. I've heard management say that, but the problem is that their bosses are coming down on them and it is causing them to come down on us. I've felt picked on from the time I went to midnights because they know I don't want to be there, but I have still done a good job for them. I work very hard and now I feel it is for nothing. I was trying my best the last couple of weeks despite my medical issue, but I guess the last two weeks have been more important to them than the entire time I've been there and busted my hind end.
