Shit Hole Decisions___Walmart

Well, Reuters, Glassdoor, and CNN Money I just want you to know CEO Doug McMillon and Walmart has a special place in my blog for Shit Hole Decisions. Visit http://nldrecognition.wordpress.com.  Read Walmart CEO Doug McMillon__Aka Babyface Nelson and The Final Straw__CEO Doug McMillon located in the March 2015 Archive. It took CEO DOUG McMILLON’s pay to jump from a whopping 19.4 million to 22.4 million in 3 years. What! The CEO got a 13% increase. Well, look who get a raise increase and bonus every year in a timely manner.  We know who hasn’t been with the company for 20 years.  Guess What! We also know Aka Babyface Doug McMillon will not receive an ONE TIME bonus for his service to the company for 20 years. Do the math (3 years of service}. Reuters, Glassdoor, and CNN Money can you believe an associate has to work 20 years for an ONE TIME Bonus of a $1000?  Walmart value the service of the associates at $50 a year.  Do you think this is a Shit Hole Decision.?

Walmart Corporation and Aka BabyFace Doug McMillon, CEO of Walmart, will take home the Global One-Eighty-Seven Award for the Murder of 63 Sam Club Stores from New York to Puerto Rico.  Seven Sam Store Clubs were closed in the Chicago area. Pretty nice neighborhoods. What’s Up with That?  Walmart associates are stun by these Shit Hole Decisions.  The associates are outraged by the one-time bonus and the numbers of years to obtain such a raise.  Walmart associates are pissed off at the suppressive wage (impede progress/delay or prevent development) for the countless years they spent at Walmart. Workers at Walmart realize NOW everyone at the entry-level will be paid more than the older associates. How does it feel to train a person that hasn’t been with the company for 2 minutes making more than an associate that has been with the company for 10 years or more?   The older workers feel this is another way of pushing them out of the company without a buyout or giving them an option to retire.  Do you think by getting rid of Sam Clubs Associate is Walmart’s way of avoiding paying benefits?   Who in the hell can afford to raise a child off of Wal-Mart so-called one-time pay increase?  Hours will be cut. The majority of managers step down to regular associates from the stress of Walmart not providing the appropriate tools to be successful in their job.  All the associates who are afraid to speak out just process what Walmart did to Sams Club.  Will store 2857 have a yellow ribbon wrap around the building for the latest crime scene? Did any of the Sams Club Stores try to form a union?  Every day when an associate pulls up on the parking lot they will wonder will their store be next.

What do Walmart associates have to lose by speaking out?  Your job could be the next One-Eighty-Seven.  I do not like those yellow vest.  If Home Office control the heat, the water, the toilet paper don’t let them control your breathing and your Voice. Stop being afraid and learn and know your rights. The Harassment, The Retaliation, The Bullying has to end. Time is truly up. The Me Too Movement is not just for the Recognizable Hollywood Swingers but for the Unrecognizable and for as Sly Stone would sing Everyday People. The Times Up MoveMent welcome you with open arms. The Seen and Not Heard will be Heard and Seen. If the associates want to start their own movement, get on it. Walmart has its website and their own radio station. This could be the associate’s hashtag CYA. Walmart Associates Movement could be COVER YOUR ASS.

Walmart Works For Walmart not for the associates.   Same deal if you have a problem and you take it to HR, Walmart Works for Walmart. So Aka Dougie Not So Fresh McMillon, CEO of Walmart, there are more movements coming into play. The Unions will not be the only ones riding your back.  To my MSNBC SWAT Team, CNN, ABC, Washington Post, Huffington Post, Daily Beast, Buzz Feed, The Root, Glassdoor,  and all the superstars of media who are under attack ask Aka CEO Doug McMillon these questions the next time he steps out front.

1.) What will Walmart do with the empty Sams Club buildings?

2.) Will these empty buildings be used for Warehouses to set up for the playbook to compete with Amazon the Great White Shark?

3.) Will  Walmart call any of the Sam Clubs Associates back?

4.) Why hasn’t Walmart stepped out front to denounce Trump Intentional Behavior because of Walmart’s 3 Basic Belief in their Company? Walmart’s 3 Basic Belief:  Serve Our Customer; Respect For The Individual; Strive For Excellence. I forgot they added the 4th one. It was Integrity. I’m still waiting for Walmart to stand by the first three beliefs. Integrity! That’s a joke.

5.) When will CEO Doug McMillon step out on the stage and say Walmart has been sold to China or maybe Russia? Who knows? They do. The Walton’s no longer own the company but has the majority of stock. Okay Then.

What is wrong with this picture?

Did you forget the millions of dollars Walmart made off of food stamps? Many of the workers carry EBT cards and receive food stamp assistance. Will the increase in their pay change the eligibility of their food stamps? Will Walmart be willing to step in and pay the difference if these associates get cut from the food stamp program?  Look at the price the associates might have to pay for Walmart Inc. and Aka BabyFace Doug McMillon Shit Hole Decision.  One Time Only Bonus can affect these associate’s livelihood.  Walmart changed their price matching policy on October the 16. The coupon policy was also changed. This took a bite out of crime. Where is the money after these losses were corrected?  How many millions did Walmart make?

The highest Award of tonight will be granted to the 1% of Walmart Corporation, Aka BabyFace McMillon, top executives and top shareholders. The Stone Cold Greed Award is the Life Time Achievement Award for not giving a damn about the associates. It also entails making sure the Rich get Richer and Walmart Corporation leads by example.  The example is Donald Trump’s, it all belongs to Trump’s Tax Break. The big money dawgs will not miss one year receiving their bonuses. For sure it won’t be a one Time Bonus. Walmart Corporation leads by example and showed the associates how Walmart really feels and who the money all belongs to.

Trump’s Penus envy button, which Cialis, Levitra, and Vardenafil cannot fix, once again let Kim Jong-un off the hook due to age discrepancy.  Before I forget, Michael Wolf,  who wrote Fire and Fury, just briefly should be informed that the childlike behavior he witnessed presents a much stronger case when you use the term developmental delays. The question to ask is: How Old Is Trump developmentally?  What level or grade level is his mental processing? Would he be capable of running the country? How pervasive are these delays?   Trump did receive the  Erectile Dysfunction and numerous dishonorable mentions for his remark on Shit Hole Countries. Trump will receive the Ignoramus Presidential Award for not knowing, not trying to find out, and not giving a damn. What Corporation lead by Example? You guess it.

It was a heartbreak Thursday night on the 11th.  What would the reaction be facing off with the associates from other countries?  Unbelievable! All those years to develop friendships and relationships and guess who drove a dagger through the heart of COMMUNICATION.  One of the associates whom I have worked with for years stated he is from Ghana. He is very proud of his country. He made it clear that the man called Trump has shamed our country and make Shit Hole Decisions.  Well, the bubble was sitting on top of my noggin and here we are with a new story.  There have been so many Shit Hole decision made by Walmart.  The new store manager, Mark Hoyt buried his head in his iPad, divided the management team due to favoritism, and continue to let Therese Renzette run the store. The last store manager, Randall Addison made it clear he ran the store and control the toilet paper. We have lost many members of management and associates based on the RULE: The RULE is stated in the story Five Days Before Christmas and once again Co-Manager Therese Renzette is the star of the Bullying, Harassment, Retaliation, Discrimination, and Race.  The focus will be on the unlawful and unethical work practice under your protected rights Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. No Corporation should be BIG TO FAIL or TO BIG TO BE SUED. These are your RIGHTS as an AT-Will Employee.

1.) Types of Discrimination-age, disability, equal pay/compensations, genetic information, harassment, retaliation, sexual harassment,  national origin, pregnancy, race/color, religion, sex,  You have more protective rights.

2.) Promoting, pay raises, training, recruiting, hiring, firing, workplace testing, challenging a job loss, wages and overtime, family and medical leave, on the job safety and health, health insurance and retirement plans, unemployment disability and workers compensation insurance, union rights. Whether or not you work at Walmart. Learn about the Employment At-Will doctrine and the Three Major Exceptions: a.) Public Exception 43-50 states adopted this policy including Missouri. b.) Implied Contract Exception 38-50 states adopted this policy. c.) Covenant of Good Faith-11 states only. This is the most progressive policy.

THE RULE: CONSTRUCTIVE DISCHARGE ARISES WHEN AN EMPLOYER CAUSES AN EMPLOYEE WORK CONDITION TO BE SO DIFFICULT OR UNPLEASANT THAT A REASONABLE EMPLOYEE IN A SIMILAR POSITION WOULD FEEL COMPELLED TO RESIGN. THE EMPLOYERS ACTION MUST HAVE BEEN TAKEN WITH THE INTENTION OF FORCING THE EMPLOYEE TO QUIT. FOR WORK CONDITION TO BE SO INTOLERABLE AS TO ESTABLISH CONSTRUCTIVE DISCHARGE, THEY MUST BE INTOLERABLE NOT ONLY TO THE EMPLOYEE INVOLVED, BUT ALSO TO A REASONABLE AND OBJECTIVE EMPLOYEE IN A SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCE.  AN EMPLOYEE WHO QUITS WITHOUT GIVING HER EMPLOYER A REASONABLE CHANCE TO WORK OUT THE PROBLEM IS NOT CONSTRUCTIVELY DISCHARGE.  Don’t worry Walmart culture is to be in CONTROL of the water, heat, toilet paper. Do not let them control your VOICE, MIND, and SPIRIT. Walmart is not willing to work with you. They love setting the associates up for failure.

The commonality at store 2857 is many associates have suffered the abuse of harassment, retaliation, discrimination, bullying, and punishment by Therese Renzette. The fear has to stop and your voice can be heard. I extend an open door for the associates in automotive, hardware, sporting goods, HBA, DSD, pets, lawn and garden, the service desk, front end cashiers, CSM, support managers,  assistant managers, co-managers, Grocery associates, stockers,  produce, maintenance, Capt. Team 1 &2, Bakery, Deli, Frozen, jewelry, electronics, housewares, chemicals.  I want Total Store to share their comments on this story. Before you make your comment think about all the Shit-Hole decisions made at store 2857 that affected you socially/emotionally. The same decisions that affected you physically and financially. Take the time and make a list. Think about the one TIME bonus you are about to receive and tell me are you worth more for all those years of service. Think about the 4 years CEO Doug McMillon has been with Walmart and what he has received for deceiving the associates. Click the button, tell your story, make the comment. Let your voice be heard.  What happened in this store should never happen again. The associates do not come to work to exist in an atmosphere of fear. So why is customer service down? It comes from the beating down of associates self-esteem by divisive tools of harassment, bullying, retaliation, discrimination, race.  You are protected against this Intentional Behavior under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Name your work practice violation that was used to set you up for failure.  There are a lot of ME TOO’s at Walmart. We are ready for TIME’S UP.

The loss of really good workers seems so unreal. Included in the decision of the one time raise, co-managers would be step down from their position if they could not find a store within 3 years to be promoted to a store manager positions.  This was a very old decision in Walmart’s policy initiated many years ago.  Under the old policy, it was 2 years for the co-managers to find a store. I have tracked this stores behavior for many years and documented the behaviors of each and every co-manager, assistant,  and the store manager that has come to store 2857 in my TIME from 2001-2018. Walmart will rid themselves of 3,500 Co-Managers position. My name is Linda Garrett and I will be the first to say Therese Renzette should be the first Co-Manager to go. Therese Renzette came to Walmart in 2007. She creates an atmosphere of fear at store 2857 and nothing has changed as of this day.  DSD can back me up. Today, Time is Up. What is Walmart’s culture? Their basic belief is FAKE NEWS TRUMP STYLE.

Yes, the new dress code should be changed to black.  Our nation has been placed on a global carpet of mourning abuse, harassment, retaliation, discrimination, and race.  The associates at Walmart share a common interest with the whole world. This would be the biggest class action lawsuit in history. This takes me back http://www.afj.org  where the associates can retrieve a wealth of information about Walmart and other cases. For now, I will limit Rule 23 (Class Action: Federal Rules of Civil Procedure) to store 2857. Thanks to all the mentors for sharing your knowledge. Thank you, NAN ARON for the up close and personal look at Walmart V Duke. Thank you, Human Rights Commission, EEOC, FEPA for helping me understand the language and terminology.  Thank You, Knights, of the Round Table MSNBC for being great teachers and moving full steam ahead.  I do understand what is at Stake. It is TIME to fight on the Assessment

Recapturing The Recap

June 2014- My Friend With The Yellow Pen

There is a lot of information in the syllabus SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES, WALMART STORES, INC. v. DUKE ET. AL What I find strange is the documentation from the associates supports a definite pattern of Intentional Behaviors of how Walmart takes control over everything.  Do you have a breathing mask? All the oxygen gets sucked up out of the room when you mention Walmart.  Why? It is Walmart’s World. You would think a new CEO coming in would want to make positive changes. No! It is initiation day for CEO Doug McMillon to show Walmart appoints all the people in their company. You can work your A** off but once again if you are not the Anointed you will not be Appointed. It has nothing to do with the size of the company but it has everything to do with how rotten the company has operated, the rights of the people in the company who are violated, and all of the labor violations that are broken.  No matter how big the size of the fruit if the core is rotten the fruit is rotten and can be replaced with something else.  Walmart is not the only alternative.

CEO Doug McMill0n enter this company knowing all the problems that existed at Walmart.  He gets an F.  A new plan was implemented to take effect on March 5, 2016.  Not only did the associates get milked by Walmart but the 2% increase was a slap in the face.  The associate realized they had been hosed down.  The  40, 50, and 60 cents (standard, exceed, role model) went to spoiled milk. The associates are nickeled and dime to death. If you are a top worker you will receive the same as a bad worker. It will take more years to max out which is a shame when the CEO doesn’t get maxed out. None of the top Dawgs in the company are held accountable for their sins.  They screw up and get GI-NOR-MOUS BONUSES, remain on the board, wreck cars, or skip prison time.

So the CEO is the Big Daddy or the highest-ranking executive in the company whose major responsibilities is making sure he is keeping all the money on company turf, for his investors, and tripling his salary instead of the associates. I thought CEO Doug McMillon main responsibilities include developing and implementing high-level strategies making major corporate decisions managing the overall operations and resource of the company. If CEO DOUG-GIE FRESH is the bullhorn for communication in Walmart, well the associates must all be deaf or need hearing aids. Who stole my battery out of my hearing aid?  On top of it, all the associates got screwed again. The only growth and the development CEO DOUG-GIE FRESH or CEO Doug McMillon AKA Babyface Nelson is watching is the green growing out of his pockets. Between the board of directors and corporate operations, this brother sits in many chairs and figures out a way to bank all the dough for his crew not for me or you.   November 2013-Lucy And The Football Taken Away will help connect the dots.

Read and Pay close attention to items 1-9 in this story.  The new plan takes away from all long-term associates benefits.  Grandfathered in associates are totally out. Every reward to benefit an older associate or associates who worked for the company many years has been taken away. The raise an associate would receive is worse than 2% milk. This plan definitely pushes the older associates away. This is what Walmart wanted to do all along. From the time Walmart has put up the Now Hiring sign, there haven’t been people knocking on Walmart’s door to get in. As a matter of fact, associates from other stores have come in to help with store #2857 inventory. Who fired and ran all the associate off?  Mistreatment of associates and turnover is destroying Walmart.   Let’s focus on something in the Northland that’s a major shake-up and MONUMENTAL.

Costco is coming to town. Ray Kroc (the real-estate King for putting the McDonald Burgers on the map)  would be screaming from the top of his lungs, “LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION.”  The new Costco will be located off of 152 and Platte Purchase Drive. LOCATION baby! Here is a company that apologizes for not raising their minimum wages. A company that has invested and valued their employees. Costco focuses on minimizing their employee turnover and maximizing keeping their associates happy with good health benefits and a pretty darn good salary.  A company that donated land to Platte County School District. CEO Craig Jelinek spoke out in favor of the minimum wage. After that speech, Costco profited $537 million for the business quarter.  According to Fortune Magazine in 2011 the average worker at COSTCO made $45,000 compared to WALMART $17,486. Who do you think to invest in their associates? Say it with me now. COSTCO! The Assistant managers coming to Walmart only makes $43,000 to get the HELL DOG OUT. Do you hear me Sethy? Take heed! What! Shut Up!  HAMMER TIME! You Can’t Touch This!  A company through their lens understand what it takes to lift people out of the poverty level and sustained the middle class.  Costco is on the MOVE.  Other corporations are falling in line.  A company who cares about their reputation and not bent on destruction.  See There! It didn’t matter about Walmart size. Costco is a company with positive plans. Quality v. Quantity will win every time.

This is WHY the MEDIA should focus their TIME and ENERGY on companies or people who are doing what works for the country.  My friend with the yellow pen this is KEY for the CONTENDERS also. There are many people in the Northland knows how Walmart treats their associates.  It would take many years to get nowhere in a company bent on having everything for themselves and their investors. A company who will not apologize for keeping their associates down and making billions off of Welfare. Walmart has lost many customers and associates. The same will play itself out in the election. Either way, what comes down the pipeline is Lost Of Respectability.  Whoever you ENDORSE your RESPECTABILITY can go right down the pipeline.  You are unconventional and as useless as Tarsands. The mess will be so much harder to clean up.  Keeping It Real.  Sir Lawrence O’Donnell,  Knight of the ROUNDTABLE on MSNBC I will definitely continue to be a DISRUPTIVE INNOVATOR/ADVOCATE/ MOTIVATOR and I will keep it REAL. Special shout out to Abby Huntsman of Huff Live. Looking Good ABBY! Just to let Blake Shelton of the VOICE know there is more to his comment of Miley Cyrus WRECKING BALL than he can ever imagine.

August 2014-Inspirational__You

Intentional Behaviors to the right of me. Intentional Behaviors to the left of me. How will I be able to see what is being done to me if I don’t maintain my cool? Anger is not the answer. A lot is going on and it is the Tax-Free weekend. Who can I MIRROR-IMAGE  to keep me on track and help me get to the heart of the problem?  Why not choose The Birthday Leader Of The Free World? Continue to read and see how race plays a big part in the workforce. Time to get Shorty again? Who is Shorty?  She is the Black CSM down front who wants what is best for the Associates and the management who are decent.  We are peeking into the window of age, race, and pay discrimination. The mirror has fingerprints of store violations. Notice the repeat pattern of behavior Walmart constantly displays,

September 2014-Trenches

Learn who the Big Money Dawgs really care about. Let’s take a look at all the INTENTIONAL BEHAVIOR and COVERS ups to keep the money in their home court.  This story takes a glimpse of how corporations and franchises invest in themselves and let their employees suffer abuse in their home court from physical, social/emotional, psychological damages. Investment in Investors instead of the people who put these companies and franchises all over the map. Who walks away with the scars?  These stories demonstrate how employees go to work day in and day out and build the dreams of others. Now it is TIME to go out and build your own dream. When trouble arises there are very view people who are rooting for you.  Where are the cheerleaders?

November 2014-Undisputed Truth__ KCMO A.

Charles Fishman published an article on the Walmart You Don’t know and his bestseller rated by New York Times, The Walmart Effect.  The will be no more Secrecy.   Strange how his article focuses on the BIG OLD COMPANIES Walmart went after. Let’s see if we can step inside and familiarize yourself with Walmart strategies of getting rid of the OLD. It was Mit Romney who said, “Corporation Are People.”   Older Corporation should be able to file Age Discrimination. What is it about the aging Walmart has problems against? I’m Just Saying. If we don’t know we know now. Including into Walmart plans should be a buyout. I’m not talking about no cheesy cheap plan to pay the associates $1000 per year for every year they have worked for Walmart. Sounds like the plan offered when the ZMS positions were slashed. It has been the case where people came to Walmart and slipped on a grape and were paid a million dollars. Yet associates who have given years of loyal service is ripped off by not getting any BENEFITS from this company. Did the associates get Jacked?  Yes, it is ALL ABOUT THE  BENJAMINS BABY. Where is the BENEFIT BABY? A big piece of the puzzle.

January 2015-Thanks For The Memory__Wordpress

This story MIRROR IMAGE the story My Friend With The Yellow Pen. The New Year was coming in. I have made several corrections since then. Here is an example.  Legion was corrected to LEGEND with my new pen. Admitting you made a mistake is no sin. I will carry on then.   Assistant Manager Stephanie Pope made a public service announcement. She gets on the PA or intercom system and wishes only one associate Happy New Year, Happy Birthday, and congratulates him on becoming Assistant Manager. Sad because that very announcement made a lot of associates angry at support manager Jake. Many of the associates felt they had worked they’re a** off and did not get wished a Happy New Year. Another strategy to keep the associates angry at each other so the focus is not on the real issue of the company, store manager, and the same members of management who are causing absolute chaos. Sounds familiar My Friend With The Yellow Pen. Well, Stephanie Pope is no longer at #2857 because of the RULE, an Abusive/Intolerable, Hostile environment.  Now she may have gone to another store but she definitely walked out of store #2857 also because of the store manager or other members of management.

The announcement of support manager Jake taking this position sent one of the CSM into a tailspin.  She eventually left the store and transferred to another Walmart store only to find out the store manager brother-in-law is now the store manager. Jake, you might want to RETHINK the tap on the shoulder. Is it worth it?   CEO Doug McMillon gave his Okay Placke stamp or validation when he gave a Tap On The Shoulder to an associate who only had been with the company for two years. Associates have stood in line for years were passed up. DSW SHOE-IN ruled the market.  No matter how hard you work the opportunity was not there. The very Tap on The Shoulders strips Walmart of Respectability. Walmart’s World is shrinking. The Tap on the shoulder is definitely not worth the pay.  The Tap On The Shoulder is like the Adam’s Family Groove.  They do what they wanna do. Say what they wanna say. Live how they wanna live. Play how they wanna play. Dance how they wanna dance. Kick and they slap a friend. The Walmart Family!  This is not Legit!  Whenever Doug McMillon is ready to apologize I will be listening.

March 2015-CEO Doug McMillon__AKA Babyface Nelson

Looks can be quite deceiving.  CEO Doug McMillon’s baby face didn’t fool me at all. Yep! A new CEO rolls into town with an innocent look only to rip off the associates and triple his salary. CEO Doug McMillon got an F then and he gets an F now. What did COSTCO do? They tripled the salary of the associates. Who cares about their people. Say it with me now. COSTCO!  Walmart associates got less than 2% milk from the new so so-called plan that took effect on March 5, 2016.  CEO Doug McMillon, you are being called out to step down from your position. COSTCO CEO rolled up and took the lead. The associates from Walmart no longer needs to be lead by a FAILED CEO who kept the great map makers in the SHADOWS.   The pieces of the puzzle are lining themselves up. The role out of Walmart wage increase was an admission of guilt. Do you think CEO Doug McMillon will ever apologize? He has issued an even worse plan for the associates.  All the associates reading this story can find out about Walmart team leaders.  Remember the movie, Whatever Happen To Baby Jane? Whatever happened to Patrick Shanks?  He was the store manager close connection for a minute. Walmart has a big problem of not taking care of the management team who creates an atmosphere of fear. The bullies can change their mind and CONVINCE their reflection (the store manager) to stay in the store and continue to terrorize the associates.  It’s all good because who will they terrorized after all the associates say ENOUGH is ENOUGH and leave.

It has already come to pass. CEO Doug McMillon has continued to lead from the bottom. How can he tell his employees he has done a good deed when the CEO of COSTCO was humble enough to apologize for not giving their associates more than what Walmart associates will ever receive in their working lifetime. CEO Doug McMillon playbook will never make it to the bestseller list. CEO Doug McMillon did NOT exceed Walmart’s Expectation. COSTCO has put Walmart on Front Street. It starts from the top. So the problem will not be resolved because of FAILED LEADERSHIP. This same FAILED LEADERSHIP is the pattern of behavior of the store manager and his crew.  CEO Doug McMillon is his worse PR NIGHTMARE.  Walmart made out like they have done so much for the associates.  YEAH RIGHT! Costco is in a league of their own. The temp agencies are scooping all the associates up from Walmart who were wrongfully fired and forced out by Constructive Discharge, an intolerable abusive hostile environment.  The retaliation, harassment, and discrimination is over the top.  The temp agencies place Walmart’s formal associates in higher paying jobs after 30-90 days depending on the company. It takes 30 years or more at Walmart to get a halfway decent salary and your salary is maxed out at a rate of $20.00. Unbelievable! This is not decent or Legit at all. By that time you are too tired and too old.  Your health is shot to hell from the many years of Walmart stringing you along,  and stressing the associates out.

March 2015-The Final Straw__CEO Doug McMillon

Well, not quite.  The Empire Strikes Back. The associates got pushed off the bridge with the so-called new PTO (Paid Time Off) package. Ripped off and Jacked Up.   The 1% who receives 100% increase in salaries and a whopping Bonuses never max out. Check their salaries out. Lee Scott in 2005 received $15.7 million dollars. In 2006 Lee Scott receive a package of $29.7 million dollars. Can you imagine what his package would look like today?  Mike Duke salary is the kicker. Who said crime doesn’t pay. His top off was $140 million and his stock was $200 million. Good, Grief Charlie Brown!  Bill Simon former CEO of Walmart salary was $ 11.8 million.  CEO Doug McMillon straight out LIED.  In 2015 his bonus was $1,035,019. His salary coming into Walmart was 9.5 million and skyrocketed to 25.6 million. Now you know it is time to call for CEO Doug McMillon RESIGNATION when you got Target offering $15.50, T.J. Max offering $13.50, Amazon $14.25. Come On Now! Walmart needs to cease construction of opening more stores.   Stop shutting down stores and remodel the older stores with the latest technology.  Get rid of the same members of management that have abused, retaliated, humiliated, and created an atmosphere of fear in an intolerable environment. Give the Associates a real PAY INCREASE and offer a decent buyout or retirement package for those who wish to move on.

It was Black Friday, November 2012 in the story Please Proceed__Get The Transcript.  KORY LUNDBERG, Senior Manager and Head of Sustainability Communication stated the average Walmart associate makes an average of $12.00 an hour. He LIED! KORY LUNDBERG in 2012 was the plain old Walmart Spokesman. What a jump. Hmmm!  Where is David Tovar when you need him? Tovar was picked up by a former associate of Walmart who recognized Tovar skills. Connected dots of this story can be linked to Screamers, Shouters, Shouters   He overcame the lies he told, cleaned up his act and took it on the road. He was the PR President of Communication for Walmart who wasn’t the anointed.  PLEASE stop lying about the associate’s salaries. Really! From $9.00 an hour to finally $10.00 an hour, Walmart will lead a Pathway to find jobs for new associates which will pay better salaries from other companies.  Why worry about being terminated from a small salary but graduating with a better salary and more opportunity from companies who INVEST in their associates.  Walmart will wear the stigma of Low-End Jobs targeting the communities of the impoverished, people who are not well-educated, and newcomers from foreign countries.

Once again we see the store manager and his two homies (same members of management) putting the associates through pure hell with the denial of transfers, retaliation, discrimination, excessive surveillance, forcing associates out without giving them the right to resign or retire. Personal Discussions and Coaching was a strategy used by Walmart to take your Evaluations down to totally avoid wage increase. It was also used as a means to keep associates locked in the store so they could not transfer, get promoted, or a raise. The store manager, Randall Addison locked in all of his management team with the exception of one manager who later walked out of the store.

We need Henry Waxman, former Chairman of the Government Reform Committee on the case. He held the Tobacco Industry Accountable and made them do anti-smoking ads. Henry Waxman can come back and hold Walmart accountable.   Waxman can make Walmart do Human Right Commission ads and pay for all the injustice ever done to any Walmart associate. Yes, the associates jump through hoops for less pay and the wage increase as of today is not competitive.  It is a suppressive wage for all the associates who have stayed. Yes, it does hinder the development of all workers in their job performance. Hours are slashed as a strategy to increase wages and bring in new associates at Walmart every day low prices.  Once again the sign was up to hire more people. Maybe if Walmart stops setting people up for failure, pay their associate a decent wage, and get rid of the members of management that have called all the chaos and create an atmosphere of fear. Climate change in the environment of Walmart is very abusive, intolerable and hostile.

July 2015- Snitch This!  Here’s The Playlist

Kicked out of every corner in Walmart you will come to understand why They Painted Me As The Enemy-December 2012. Walmart is not an Inclusive Environment. It is Walmart’s World. Walmart Works For Walmart. Every right a human life need to fight for will be violated and swept under the rug by Walmart. I want the associates to understand it is not HR playground. As associates, you have the right to bring in outside help when you don’t feel your complaint has been heard and no appropriate action has been taken. It is called a check and balance system. For all those associates who feel HR will pick up the tab go with HR.  For the associates who feel they have exhausted talking to management and their team of people, you can bring in Human Rights Commission. Their number is 573-751-3300

I was talking to Sall, an exceptional worker who came from Africa. Sall has since left the company. Sall made it clear he came to America for liberties.  Through his lens, he wanted to be so much more within the company but Walmart has its anointed.   He was tired of all the switching around and working so many departments because of understaffing.  He did not want to become bitter and felt there was no opportunity at store #2857.  Sall did not like living in silence.  He was afraid if he spoke out the consequences would be great. Well, Sall was absolutely right about the consequences. You will be harassed, retaliated under excessive surveillance, and discriminated against. As I said once before you are now the ENEMY. We can connect the dots to Message To The People-December 2013. Why did all of the foreigners disappear? What really happened.

Hi! I’m Linda Garrett at store #2857. This story was motivated by Assistant Manager Seth Blakely. He was out doing his CBWA (Coaching By Walking Around) There were long lines at the front end and on register 1. Ms. Theresa line was backed up. I was coming down to register 5 but when I got to register 7 there was Assistant Manager Seth and support manager Jake standing out in front of the register. I approached him to ask for more assistant. He was pissed off. He turns to me and said I was a SNITCH. Yep! I knew he had read one of my stories or had been called on the carpet. Bottomline, Ms. Theresa is no longer there. Her dismissal was truly a Wrongful Termination. Assistant Manager Seth Blakely said, “If I have to get on a register I don’t need you running the front end.”  Wow! Waiting for the people who pay your salary is beneath management.

I have made so many lists to see the Intentional patterns of Behaviors Walmart has inflicted on the associates. When you focus on the money you can’t see what Walmart has in store for the associates. The lists in this story consist of a website when Walmart tells us “if you don’t like it go somewhere else.”  Another list in this story tells of the blacks who were fired and singled out. The lost of a black assistant manager who was replaced by another assistant black manager immediately to cover Walmart’s A**. Another list was constructed to show  I have taken an interest in the associates. The associates are not to be considered as familiar strangers.  Since that list was generated 11 associates are no longer on the list. Deshanti and Joey you are sadly missed.

1.) Ms. Karen-transferred to another shift

2.) Charlotte-transferred to Bebe Arkansas

3.) Alex-disappeared

4.) DeAndre-Wrongfully terminated

5.) Ashley-found a better job

6.) Daniel-found a better job

7.) Tretez-transferred to automotive

8.) Peggy Wrongfully terminated but has another job

9.) David-Wrongfully terminated

10.) Derrick-disappeared

11.) Ms. Lauren-Forced out,  last words from Ms. Lauren, “I’m sick and tired of Walmart’s BS”

There once was an LGBT community in Walmart. Have the list but they are all gone. Were these associates targeted? Hmm! So were the Disabled. Hmm! Have the list. This is connected to Message to the People-December 2013 where all the foreigner disappeared from the grocery side of the store. Have the list. Hmm! Something is seriously wrong with this picture. Do you think Walmart has a DISCRIMINATION PROBLEM?

Then there was the rollout of the survey on the wage increase or an admission of failure.  CEO Doug McMillon gets an F big time.  Once again suppressive wage not competitive with other companies. Low wages contributed to Walmart success, not the associate’s success. Costco CEO Craig Jelinek understand what turnover, low wages can do to the company and what investing in the associates can do for the company. Walmart wants ultimate control even over the air you breathe. There was a disconnect in the store with the store manager Randall Addison. If you want to connect with HR call 913-268-7904. Get in touch with Delinda Davis or Gerald Hendrickson. As of this date, the people in HR may have change.  This story is a must read and you will learn about the violation in the store. Walmart’s Scarred Reputation.

October 2015-Charlotte’s Web__Redemption Times

Charlotte has left the gate and transferred to BEBE ARKANSAS. She was sick and tired of the punishment she received from Theresa (Trez) Renzetti and Diane Statler.  It is TIME to learn to advocate. Charlotte’s Web__ Redemption Time will demonstrate the questions you need to ask management or someone you can place a grievance with. A list of agencies was compiled in this story so the associates would have an equal balance. Walmart is not the only option for the associates to get their problems resolve. Peep inside this story. The associates will find more help and realize they are not alone. Walmart has no inclusive environment. Developing friends and relationships is a major threat to Walmart Inc.  Strategies for Walmart is to keep the chaos going among the associates and let the anger take over. It feels like you are locked inside a Trump Rally and the LIES keep pouring in.

What is important to Walmart?  Check out the salaries of the Walmart family. Find out what are the salaries of the people backing the 1%.  Why did Assistant Manager Stephanie Pope walk out? What is Constructive Discharge?  Find out who was the only manager that did not get a development needed.  So WHY would the assistant manager walk out?  What Co-Manager went to the floor and discuss the lock-in of the negative evaluations handed down by the store manager Randall Addison? Who did Randall Addison CONVINCE to come to store #2857 after he had destroyed the store and the morale of store #1802 in Topeka, Kansas?  Why hasn’t HR intervened?  What purpose does HR serve?  Who does HR work for? What action should be taken when the Store Manager and the Co-Manager failed to correct their Intentional Behavior? Who did Co-Manager Theresa Renzetti CONVINCE to stay at store #2857 after all of the years of harassment, retaliation, and discriminating against the associates? Are the daytime associates dreading her coming back to days? In the words of Baritone Barry White, Sho Your Right.   Who created the abusive, intolerable, and hostile environment?  What other members of management have followed the directives of the store manager and the Co-Manager?  Who would the associates like to see ousted from the store?

I want to say this to Sir Lawrence O’Donnell, Knight of the Roundtable of MSNBC, I know each member of management is reading these stories. On Friday night once again another CBL was due to all of a sudden.  There are keywords that are dropped by each member of management to let me know they have read the story.  Co-manager Therese (Trez) Renzetti stood over my head with support manager Jake alongside her.  The Key Word was Allison. It was to let me know she read the story or she is still in contact with Assistant Manager Allison out on 40 hwy. store #4553.  Jake seems to keep popping up. Hmmm!  Other keywords dropped by Co-Manager Trez is Reasonable Associate and Keeping It Real.  Assistant Manager Seth Blakely keywords are No one is Untouchable, he will use the word harassed in a sentence, or the word excessive surveillance in a sentence. Co-Manager Ben Abbott came in one morning and said he could not speak and I knew exactly what story he had read.  I was back in the office with Assistant Manager Dianne Statler and out of the clear blue, she said she liked CEO Doug McMillon. Good for Dianne Statler. He still gets an F in my book. Furthermore, we were nowhere near the subject of discussing the CEO. Reading is fundamental and I’m glad they are all reading.

This is the WORLD WIDE WEB so the rest of the world is reading also. These managers will not silence my VOICE.  I will use the media, FaceBook, Twitter, StumbleUpon, WordPress and any means of communication to let the world know how rotten the associates have been treated by certain members of management, the store manager, and Walmart Corporation. In the meantime, HR stood by and did nothing.  CEO Doug McMillon played on the bullies playground with the Walton family.  He did not take a stand for the associates. Failure of management from the top brings failure of management to the bottom. CEO Doug McMillon filled his pockets with gold and took everything away from the associates.  It was hard going back through reading all these stories and reliving what I work every night. The retaliation has never ceased, nor the harassment, nor the discrimination.

Reflecting back, so many GOOD ASSOCIATES were lost.  GOOD ASSOCIATES that were denied the opportunity of a promotion because they were not the anointed.  I want these members of management to look down and view what their destructive Intentional Behavior cost store #2857. I want these members of management to know when it was time to stand against the store manager they did nothing but followed a failed person lead. These managers have no balls, tenacity, or guts to stand up for the associates. Sir Lawrence O’Donnell let these words be the new keywords for these members of management who don’t give a d**n about the associates.

December 2015-Grandma Had No Thesaurus

Grandma called you out. She did not have big fancy words.  Grandma thought people who were scripted are fake.  Grandma believed in keeping it simple and breaking it down in laymen terms so when you walked away from you either leaked blood of you knew if you were going to either live or die. Grandma had her way of explaining the rules or the law. In this story Grandma wants you to understand why people don’t like old people and the knowledge the great ones possess. Read and learn what Grandma wanted you to know about Rule 23, Rule 68, force arbitration and cases that are debatable and when cases are considered moot. Grandma wanted you to know who are the Justices of the Supreme Court and where they stood on court issues.  Grandma wanted everyone to have their day in court.

January 2016- Five Days Before Christmas

To the associates: You have more rights than you think you do. Please stand up for your rights and let your voice be heard. There were many incidences that happened.  The associates may not have understood what has happened to them. Every person cannot look and learn.  It is time to learn the laws or rules to keep the associates from being in the shadows.  This story wraps around the pieces of the puzzle and connects all dots for a much bigger picture. I Don’t want to Spoil It. This is the Sum Of All Fears for Walmart and a must read. Time to dig into the 22 stories. This includes the last 2 condense version of all stories put into a Timeline. As the President of the United States would say, “You just can’t make this stuff  up.”

February 2016-Accountability__ReCap

March 2016-Recapturing The ReCap

The following stories 2011-2016 are dedicated to President of the United States, United States Attorney General Loretta Lynch,  United States Supreme Court Justices, Secretary of Labor Thomas Perez, Human Rights Commission, MSNBC, 2016 Presidential Contenders Hillary Rodham Clinton, Bernie Sanders,  Senator Elizabeth Warren, Attorney General Chris Koster of Missouri, Senator Claire McCaskill and all the media who has place a cup up to the wall.

To my friend with the yellow pen, there was something wrong within. I just want you to know I could have started this timeline from 2007-2016 when things really began to get horribly out of control. Walking in the door in 2001-2016 is a much greater picture of living inside of Walmart. Accepting myself for who I am and using what others call a deficit has become my greatest strengths. This is my contribution to every Walmart associate around the World.  Dig In. Hey, What do I know? It has only been 15 years. I lived it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks For The Memory__WordPress.Com

I can’t believe this will be my 5th year at WordPress.com. My head had a totally different title for my anniversary story but the notification sent by WordPress is right on TIME. It kicks my story off perfectly and gives me hope that people do remember and they care. WordPress is a place where I could express myself and share knowledge.  Change is desperately needed to rethink how people in the world process their information differently.  An Inclusive Environment should be provided for people who are victimized and stigmatized. It has been the Supreme Court who has weakened and upheld laws discriminating against race, ethnicity, disability, gender, sexuality, religion, age and pay.  A very small light in the corner of my blog saying, “Happy Anniversary From WordPress.com” ignited a fuel.  I can feel my ears wiggling, my nostrils widening, and the passion running through my fingertips up into my brain. So now it can be written.

The clock was ticking and it was getting close to the new year. Finally, the bell tolled. Not one member of management got on the intercom to wish the associates a Happy New Year. Unbelievable! A member of management did get on the intercom to wish a support manager a Happy Birthday.  One person did matter.  Why? That is another story for another day.  I did get on the intercom to wish the associates and customers a Happy New Year. I am not considered a member of management but the enemy within.  I ask too many questions.  I just can’t follow Directives leading me to hell out of fear and retaliation. Directives that you never questioned no matter how wrong they are. It doesn’t matter if it cost them their job or their life.  Hell, I thought I had bigger fish to fry just surviving my adversities. My adversities are life threatening so I have a tendency to lean toward and respect the core belief of my tattered body. This respect puts me in a no fear zone of Walmart. It is a shame when management cannot wish you well for another single year. You will be lucky to get wished well for one day at Walmart.  Bottom line, if the D… disease did not kill me why should I let Walmart.

Coming into the new year you want to bring the positive energy and positive people with you.  Leave the negative people and the negative energy behind. In front of my face on an index card is the words spoken by Senator Daniel Ken Inouye from Hawaii, “It Is Your Duty To Disobey An Unlawful Order.”  Another strong beacon of light, Elizabeth Warren Senator from Massachusetts,  has been very encouraging. I hope she throws her hat into the contender’s rings in 2016. She called out Citibank for nearly destroying the nation’s economy. To the Knights of The Round Table, Krystal Clear Ball and all of y’all from MSNBC it is no longer the Behemoth, Snuffleupagus or the Big Elephant in the room.What you didn’t know you know now.  It is WAL-MART.  Walmart size does not matter.   Walmart ranks third from the bottom in customer service compared to 60 out of 100 stores. I think K-Mart came in last.

Walmart’s Core Belief is rotten to the core. I prefer Honey Crisp apples. If the core of my large juicy apple is rotten the size of my apple doesn’t matter. It was rotten.  There is absolutely no respect for the individuals. One of Walmart’s three basic belief shot down.  The mantra of Walmart is “No Excuses.”  Walmart makes all types of excuses for NOT providing the necessary means for the associates and management to do an effective job. It is called Accommodations. How can Walmart hold the associates or management ACCOUNTABLE to do their job when Walmart failed to provide the associates and management with the necessary tools?  Walmart did not meet the expectation of hiring individuals to run the store effectively throughout the year and the years before.  Task management is a disaster because there are not enough people hired to do the task. The back room is unremarkable. We have a store manager, Randall Addison who wants full control over that which he has not provided. Randall Addison thinks it is all the associates/management fault. Everyone works too slow. Forget about the fact Randall Addison did not hire enough people. Excuse me,  the blame will be placed at Corporates feet.

One of Walmart’s many excuses for not hiring applicants because they could not pass their drug test screening.  Can the associates/management inside the store past their 3-D screening?   This would consist of Drugs, Drinking, and Depression.  Walmart has stepped up the program by enlisting the 4th D which is purely Denial. Denial of associates vacations. Denial of letting the associates keep their overtime. Denial of the right to pay associates for half their shift when they come to work and told they are no longer needed. Denial of the right to pay associates the higher pay level when they work out of their area. These are protected rights. (Ex.-cashiers are level 3. If the cashier is constantly placed in Electronics they should be paid for the higher position which is electronics level 5. The Department Manager position is a level 7. Denial to pay the day and mid-shift overnight differential when associates work overnight. Good old fashion Denial and lawbreakers. Please, associates, read your CBLs and don’t just click on the box.

It takes a lot to come into a job and clock on as an associate or a salaried member of management knowing no matter what you do it will Never be good enough or meet Randall Addison expectation. A man whose expectation is so unrealistic it cost his demise at store #1802 in Topeka Kansas only to be recycled to #2857 to destroy the associates and management who has failed to take a stand. Why? Pure fear of retaliation, intimidation, discrimination and the constant unnecessary surveillance. I guess this is HR solution for fixing the problem. The harassment,  surveillance, retaliation, coercion/force, and the most negative hostile environment is pervasive. Negative campaigns are used as a top strategy to get associates to turn on each other and later be fired.  A major strategy used is coaching to lock employees and management inside of the store so they can’t transfer. So here you have a manager town hall/ousted from one store and brought total RETRIBUTION upon store #2857 for his FAILURE. HR did not take responsibility to have this man ousted from the company. They knew of his track record but Randall Addison kept his job. Why?  Which one of his cronies gave Addison the Tap On The Shoulders. Cronyism at its finest.

Were the customers served? That would be a big fat NO. The second basic belief of Walmart is services to the customers. It was not met and the second belief shot down.  A hiring freeze was put on when folks needed the jobs and extra cash.  It is the Scrooge effect.  No more overtime was allowed.  If any of the associates didn’t cut their overtime they would be given a personal discussion. If the associate’s name showed up too many Times in the pool of overtime it ends up as a coaching.  Escaping to another store is out for a year.  It gives Walmart more Time to coach you for failure and you are now out the door. Coaching for failure and not for success is not striving for excellence. The 3rd belief shot down. Strange, Walmart was asking people to come in and work because Walmart needed the help.  The consequences rest on the heads of the people who needed the money to help their families and friends.  I can hear Janet Jackson singing, “What Have You Done For Me Lately.”  How can the associates serve the people when Walmart does not invest in its associates? Walmart failed to meet the customer’s needs. Who put Walmart on the map? Exactly!

Missouri is a No-Fault State.  So Walmart can never be at fault and can make up anything on their associates.  Countless of Times Walmart has been rewarded for their Intentional Behavior. Walmart receives the Rolex Watch Award.  Walmart’s No-Fault Attitudes, No Accountability, and No Consequences has landed them in the Hall Of Shame.  The Supreme Court upheld Walmart in their class action lawsuit  (WALMART vs DUKE) weakening the laws of Title Vll of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. When this law was amended in 1991  The Roberts Courts shifted the balance of power and another tool was stripped away from women. The gap of sex discrimination began to narrow and Women rights to fair and equal wages are at risk of becoming non-existing.  The Roberts Court is the new strippers and pole dancers in town.   On many occasions, the Roberts Court ruled in favor of many landmark cases against women.  The Hand That Rocks The Cradle has taken control.  More power has been given to Big Banks and other corporations. This has left the Everyday People (a song written by Sly and the Family Stone) and Ordinary People (a song written by John Legend) out in the cold.  The weather outside is frightful and baby it is cold outside. I hope Sir Michael Steele of the Roundtable, also an analyst for MSNBC, understand how people get those Rolex watches. How About That, Charles Ellison?  Too much power is given and the person wants to show off their bling.  Who get’s busted every time after the photo-shoot? Exactly! Why is Clarence Thomas on any of these cases in regard to Women’s Rights?

Thanks once again WordPress for unplugging my memory.  I had to think of a very long word to connect the dots to CEO Doug McMillon on his YOUTUBE debate with an associate who was given a Tap On The Shoulders. Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious is a no-nonsense word meaning fantastic or approval. The associate’s name was IWALANI JANANN MUIFA OPUPELE PSZYK.  I guess this was Doug McMillon initiation day to demonstrate how an associate of 2 years of Walmart could advance by the Tap on the shoulders. It is Time to sing Smiling Faces by Undisputed Truth.  Look at all the people who have been standing in lines for years. This was not fantastic nor did I approve.  Doug McMillon demonstrated how Walmart can make up the rules as they go.  All that power shifted to into the hands of Walmart by the Supreme Court. Has Walmart followed the laws? Is Walmart honest and fair? Hasn’t it been proven that Walmart has manipulated, misrepresented, abused and concealed information?   It was proven by a law firm hired by Walmart 6 years before Walmart vs Duke that men were 5 and half times as likely to be elevated to higher paid positions than women. Blatant discrimination but Walmart carried on their practices. How many Times has Walmart acted unethically? How many Times has Walmart asked an associated to do something unethical?  Walmart has violated every one of their ethical rules. Walmart can terminate an associate at any Time for no reason at all. There are many associates fired for Wrongful Termination. How ethical is that? The Store Manager and the 2 co-managers have earned their ROLEX WATCHES 3 Fold.

Jenny and Gabe, I am sorry you are no longer with the company. You were forced out and quit because you could no longer take the retaliation, discrimination, and the hostile environment. Forced out and wrongful termination is covered under constructive discharge. Brenda A., Russ, Beverly and the many associates who were also forced out of their jobs I really miss you. Exceptional Employees!   Randall Addison, Therese Renzetti, and Ben Abbatte complete the 3 basic beliefs of Wal-mart I don’t Trust or believe in. There are legal standards for establishing constructive discharge.  Employment with Walmart is on an at-will basis and you are free to resign at any time or for no reason unless you are FORCED OUT by an improper act of the company. Take a look at Constructive Discharge under the law. Don’t go quitting your job. Hang tough because it can get rough.  This has always bothered me. People who are hired as Temps and fired before, after, and even on their 90 days can be rehired by Walmart in 90 days avoiding the company from paying unemployment benefits. Hmmm! What happens when they are fired a second time and cannot be rehired.  It is Walmart and it is long overdue for the call out. Time for the old luggage to be dropped off and start fresh for 2015.  Sam Walton said you do not need to leave your store to start a new career. So if you left what was the reason. WHY?  Seek out an Employment Attorney for some down home good advice.  Thanks For The Memory__WordPress.com.
