I'm the L&G DM, and boy howdy I don't want to get into the hour cuts, but there's something worse.
I've been the DM since BTS, and we lost our Craft/Fabric/Stationary DM halfway through, which means my literally new to Walmart haven't been in retail in like 6 years rear end had to take care of BTS with thank god a seasoned crew. My ASM and I got along.
I can't go into much more detail about what happened after that to maintain some shred of anonymity from HO's prying eyes, but lets just say that I got a new ASM and we don't get along. With CMAS just set, I kept getting compliment after compliment from every walk, as well as every market walk; this changed when I got the new ASM over me. Then I got sent to do freight in other departments instead of working my own freight which was JUST being thrown in the trailers because we needed more room in the back room.
I tried to step down to one of my Co-Mgr's and I was told 'no, suck it up' basically. My ASM is incredibly hostile, vulgar, and generally loud. I come from an office administration background having over 30 direct reports at any given time. I do not know how my ASM passed any interview or kept the position for this long. Said ASM has repeatedly referred to associates as 'C*** suckers' to an associate that's got brown down to the knees with her.
I don't even get to see my spouse for 'conflict of interest' reasons, and the only time I get to see them is right before bed when they wake up.
I'm completely out of my bins and the trailers. All of my merchandise was on the floor 2-3 weeks ago. My team and I worked absolutely fucking hard to get that done. I've made solid decisions to get as much liability out and I really... really gave it my all.
I'm due to work in less than five hours and I'm having so much anxiety about going in and having to work with my ASM or even be in the same general vicinity. I've had panic attacks in the shed because I'm given tasks that I physically cannot do in the time allotted. I want to just quit but I have to make smart financial decisions for myself.
Also, Fuck go backs, and fuck the front end for just jamming any and all 'Christmas Looking' items in my goback carts. I'm tired of being held accountable for having Jewelry, Apparel, Pets, Sporting Goods, Housewares, and non D18 crap thrown at me and my team of... Lets see, if we don't count the person that I have to take from my own staff for the register- ONE other person. 15 go back carts. 2 associates myself included, and well over 12 hours of tasks ontop of that.
