You Can't Change Bentonville

The company will be gone soon. You can't change Bentonville and they could care less about what Sam wanted.

Department Mangers...Merchandise Supervisors

2005-11-20T14:02:00.000-08:00

It will change at all Walmarts during the new year. This is what I have been told.
Right now department managers in charge of one department may be asked to take on additional departments. I would think they will wait for some to step down or will make it intolerable for some...possibly even coach some to make them step down.
It should be something like dept. 8/4/13 as one area 1/18/82 another etc. Most will have three departments.
They may leave sporting goods and electronics as is because of the volume and the laws for selling guns.
They are trying to change the schedules to make them 8-5 8-5 10-7 1-10 and 1-10 alternating weekends off.
There should be at least 1.5 sales associates during the first two shifts and the stockers will be rotated throughout the store. Thirty at a time when they have that many. No one is supposed to belong to any steady department.
Our stores have had numerous managers step down and quit. Assistant Managers are leaving and stepping down and no one is being replaced with full time workers.
If you request a transfer to another store be careful or you could be reclassified as part time.

No Truth...to any of it...AT WALMART

2005-10-12T01:40:00.000-07:00

There seems to be a lack of communication.

Had they never pushed..."respect for the individual" or the culture it would have been much easier to accept the truth.

There is only propaganda and no real truth to any of it anymore.

I really wish I could lose it.

2005-09-30T14:39:00.000-07:00

I really wish I could lose it.
It is getting real old and there are times when I wish I could just shut off the instinct to continue on.
I have repeatedly told myself that I cannot possibly know or see something that no one at Walmart knows. I have repeatedly told myself it will get better on its own.
I have often wanted to run away from what is driving me to find a way to get all of it somewhere that it will do some good.
I imagine it is a sense of failure that makes me want to quit and yet it makes me want to continue at the same time.
One day at a time and at least I know that I am clear of the imminent failure that will occur in the future if all of it continues as it is.
I feel really bad for Lee Scott and the rest of the corporate officers. They may have money at the end of it all but they will also have to live with the outcome and maybe someday explain how they could let money rule. I have no idea of how or when it will all come out, I do know that without change from what it is today that eventually even if the things that are really wrong never are brought out the company will suffer and eventually it will go the same way Kmart did only bigger and worse.
At least I know I have tried. At least I know that the original concept was a good one and that Sam Walton was a good person.
How I wish I could hate the company and all it stands for. I can’t. Even with all of the injustices and all the lies I know it was meant to be a good thing.
There is so much good and it is blocked out by the inability of the corporate officers to accept any responsibility for the problems.
The problems are of course varied, some are real, some are imagined, some, are rumors.
I just know that when you are doing what you believe is right you have to do your best to let it be known.
It is more than seven months since they terminated me, or told me I was terminated. Months later someone said that wasn’t the case I walked off the job. It didn’t happen that way.
It makes no difference now anyway, not to Walmart, not to any of the corporate officers.
It is a lie like all the rest and can be covered up.
Oh how I want to give up, wish I could.

Regards,
Julie
