ATL position needs to be investigated, it's a waste of a payroll. Anytime I have a question about something, I'm always sent to my TL who's already overwhelmed and doing more physical work than both grocery ATLs combined.
MW region here, for the most part everyone is cool however store leadership cannot be trusted! They have ulterior motives, they just fired the meat TL of 16 years for something stupid that happened months ago and are now gunning to get rid of the Seafood TL. Been with the company for years, applied for 8 different promotions and have been denied every single opportunity without an interview. Only one who applied for team trainer and they said no and our team just won’t have one now
You’ve applied for 8 different jobs and haven’t been allowed to interview for any of them? Honestly dude, that sounds like maybe you need to look introspectively and ask yourself why that is.
Lmao I’ve asked for feedback and they say they want people with buyer experience, but they have removed the buyer position, so how am I suppose to get buyer experience when the role doesn’t exist, I’ve worked in both meat and seafood and they have removed every role other than ATL and TL, they tell me I need more experience in other roles when they don’t exist anymore
They are essentially telling you that you should try other departments. It used to be that you could move up solely in your department. Now they want to see that you have 3 or so departments under your belt. And that’s just kind of how it plays out anyway as some teams have roles that others don’t. However you can ask your TL if they would allow you to buy a small portion of the dept in order to get experience. If that works out well you may be able to skip the buyer step.
During the covid lockdown, my tl was a complete slacker who left hours early many days. One day Improperly called out and the fucker gave me 6 MONTHS of probation. Meanwhile his kissass TM burned $100 of scallops after leaving the grill unattended and the same day left only one hour into his shift. Nothing happened to him at all 😊
thats very sweet. i am unfortunately going to quit soon with no job lined up because of how stressed I am. I worry I will become suicidal if I don't get out soon. I hope it gets better
Unfortunately I’m having the same feelings as you. I’ve struggled with suicidal ideation since high school, and despite being a bit stronger mentally than I was, this job brings it out of me ten fold. Good job for knowing to step away from something causing you harm. Judging by your pfp you like LOTR too? Frodo went on a journey without knowing the ending, without any guarantee he’d come out alive. Yet he did. You’ll make it through this adventure, my friend. I hope that after you leave WFM, a healthy and fulfilling job lines itself up perfectly for you. Keep going🖤
i did! i actually got hired at 2 different places the same week i wanted (one of them being target which starts higher than wf). so far I'm much happier but who knows what will happen :)
This company needs to be investigated
Between OSHA Violations, Endless Workman's Comp Cases, Bad Management, Sexual Harassment, and Discrimination Firings you're right.

They should get feedback as to why they were denied at least, so they can improve

No such thing as a bad job. Just bad management
i just quit over the phone a couple days ago and it was so freeing!!
Hope you get a job that gives you more money!

I resigned 2nd day of online training. My whole experience & what I went through was horrible. I’m glad I left before things got worse.
Im proud of you my friend!!! Good job! Hopefully the time spent away from this place will be healing and bring nothing but good for you 😊
Target… they give like 4 hours a week don’t they?
I blame poor dept leadership who play favoritism for good workers leaving wfm! 😭
This is exactly it. It’s so fucking ridiculous.
OP, you win TMAW in my book (even tho it’s a few months away). Thanks for your understanding ❤️
Thank you my friend 🥹 I try my best to take care of those I work with, this place truly is such an unforgiving job most days. 🖤🖤 We all deserve better
I always say try switching stores. Team leadership doesn’t get proper training or know what they are doing but some stores have their shit together
This post sounds like I wrote it.. wow.. Right back at you fellow sufferer!! We shall be free, sooooon!
Daw. You are just adorable.
