Quitting my job at Walmart

I’m 23 years old, I’ve been working at Walmart as a team lead in training for around 6 months, I just promoted myself to customer around 20 minutes ago and I’d like to share with you my experience working there. The job paid pretty well, working overnights I got paid 18.50, however the pay was not worth the emotional toll. our managers cut people’s hours after the holidays and if they cut them enough they get a pay raise on their salary by our store manager, so that means multiple people getting let go, people going entire weeks without being put on the schedule, my managers also ignored doctors notes for people being put on light duty and would just fire people who didn’t work fast enough with a broken arm/leg, they are now dealing with more than 6 lawsuits in less than 3 months with 24 requests from overnighters…

Boss lied about promotion

So I started my job back in middle of 2021. I am on a team of 3, with my other team members having been with the company 5 years, and 1 year. To preface this, the team before hand has not really had great luck with bosses for a couple years, lots of changes. When I joined, my boss was really excited to have me and as we started working together, he started to talk about how I would be a great fit to eventually lead the team. When it came to salary negotiations, he gave me a line about “there is likely going to be some movement here on the team soon, so I don’t want to overdo your raise now for you be way over paid when the ‘movement’ happens.” So we agreed on a decent raise, but not as much as I was hoping for. We just…

I think a lot of the people in this subreddit would appreciate the TV show “Superstore.” Hear me out.

It's a comedy about working at a big box store that operates exactly the same as Wal Mart and is definitely meant to be Wal Mart. It features: Scathing and accurate depictions of shitty retail practices, like trying to deny FMLA and treat pregnant women horribly, trying to deny unemployment, employees being homeless and on welfare, workers comp lies, being locked in overnight, abusing immigrants, etc Wal Mart specific criticisms like the morning stand ups and how cringe they are. An arc about unionizing and the store trying to crush the union, up to and including firing the entire staff and shutting the store down, and everything else stores do to try to stop unionization. Very diverse cast that does not feel forced or stereotypical. Everyone feels like someone I've worked with, but also, great representation. Hilarious ten second long clips of weird shit customers do that if you've worked…
