I just want to apologize ahead of time, because this is kind of a rant.
So, I work in the Auto Care Center at Walmart. We had a meeting today, and we were told that Hardware and Sporting Goods are now part of Automotive, and we are expected to help out in those departments. We are expected to take care of fishing licenses, sell ammo, mix paint, stock those departments, and anything else that those departments do. Those were the specific examples we were given, I don't know what all this will entail.
This is on top of having to work on cars, stock our own department, clean the shop, etc. This is all being dumped on us for no extra pay. And we were threatened with being sent to other departments even beyond Auto, Sporting Goods, and Hardware if we aren't doing what we are supposed to.
This company has absolutely bonkers money. They have more money than the human brain can comprehend. But they are unwilling to properly staff all of their departments, and would rather consolidate departments and dump more responsibilities on people for no extra incentive.
I think maybe it is time to just look for something else….
